Coming to Holy Cross was one of the best decisions my family and I have made. One reason I decided to come to Holy Cross was because my classmates picked on me through 6th grade and all 7th grade. Known for its family atmosphere, my parents and I knew Holy Cross was the right fit for me. Finding a school with a close student body was the most important factor when I was picking the right high school because of my experience in middle school. I definitely agree that Holy Cross’ student body and staff are both welcoming. My favorite part about coming to Holy Cross is that I enjoy coming to school every day to be with my new friends. Besides school, it is important that I can take a break from schoolwork and have fun away from school. Besides staying on top of my school work, play and watch sports. Playing sports is important to me because I can stay healthy and active. I would like to try out for the baseball team at Holy Cross. Watching sports is also important to me because this is one way my dad and I spend time together. Participating in sporting events helps me stay fit and bond with my family.
Along with playing sports, hanging out with family is most important to me because you never know how long they will be around. I also like hanging out with my …show more content…

Fans of LSU baseball, LSU football, and the Chicago Cubs, my family tries to watch or attend games together. I also enjoy attending New Orleans Saints’ games with my grandmother. My uncle also offers to bring me to New Orleans Pelicans’ basketball games. We also spend time with my aunt, uncle, and cousin, Jude, who live in Huntsville, Alabama; they move around often, but they still find time to come visit us. As often as we can, we travel to Destin, Florida to visit my mom’s sister and her family. Along with other activities, my family enjoys spending time with one another and makes memories

    In my very first hour at Mary Queen of Peace, I felt instantly welcome. In fact, by that time, I had already made a friend that is still one of my best friends to this day. I had some pretty bad anxiety when I was younger, and making friends and feeling so welcome and relaxed at school helped me so much in the following years at MQP. This made me feel really comfortable, because I was and still am a very shy person. I know that everybody being so nice and inclusive all through my elementary and middle school years has had a lot to do with being in a Catholic school environment. I also think that a huge part of why I loved coming to school is because of my teachers. I have no idea where I would be without the amazing teachers that have taught me at Mary Queen of Peace. Every teacher I have ever had has given me so much knowledge that I use in my daily life, or that I know I will use later in life.
