"Saint Vincent Academy's legacy of academic excellence, sisterhood and charity, my four years at this institution laid the foundation for my future, which profoundly shaped me into a woman of God and paved the way for me to achieve my dreams. Becoming a Vincentian laid the foundation for my entire life and inspired me to live a life of service, resilience, respect, gratitude and purpose. I could never repay this institution for all of the values that have shaped me into the woman I am today. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart."
