Feeling so much love and gratitude for my 74 sisters this week. So excited for our next chapter, but missing them already!❤️

One of the most outstanding quotes from "Born a Crime" is "[l]ove is a creative act. When you love someone you create a new world for them". When we love those around us, even our enemies, we show them hope for a better world. Spread love, not hate!

A3. pt.3 Through awareness of injustice, change can be made leading to a better society that is built to help everyone thrive. #sensemchat

A3. Dr.King presents truth as part of social healing by not shying away from calling out the U.S government on unjust laws that discriminate against specific people groups. .#sensemchat

[Joi Almonacy @JoiAlmonacy]

A3 pt.2 While the U.S often claims to be a land that is for everyone no matter what race, religion, nationality, etc Dr.King was able to point out flaws and helped to create responses that promoted changes. #sensemchat

I forgot the tag!!!! #sensemchat

A5. I think what is most inspiring about Dr.King's "Letter from Birmingham Jail" is the way he uses such strong imagery to show the audience a wide range of experiences Black Americans went through on a day-to-day basis. Some of these things can go undetected in daily life.

[Joi Almonacy @JoiAlmonacy]

A5 pt.2 He was able to fully flesh out some of the civil rights problems by flipping the narrative in a way that causes non-Black Americans to stop and think about how they would feel enduring every dehumanizing, disrespectful thing mentioned.

It feels like it was yesterday when we were working on our research papers and presentations! I recommend checking out this journal from JSTOR called "Determinants of Perceived Skin-Color Discrimination in Latin America" to fully understand my topic! https://t.co/0FteNCsSch

✌🏼 out, Class of 2022! Congratulations on your last day of classes at Sacred Heart Greenwich💚 We are so proud of all that you have accomplished and the amazing schools you will head to next year! #WeAreSacredHeart #WeAreSHGreenwich

[Annie O'Connor @AOconnor1234]

Happy last day of classes to everyone in @CSHSeniorSem! As we prepare to graduate, I hope we can reflect on this beautiful quote by Thich Nhat Hanh: "Walk as if you are kissing the Earth with your feet." May we walk with confidence today and everyday!

I will not be “famous,” “great.” I will go on adventuring, changing, opening my mind and my eyes, refusing to be stamped and stereotyped. The thing is to free one’s self: to let it find its dimensions, not be impeded.

[Caitlyn Rivera @Caitlynrrivera]

I am in awe by how Dr. King communicates the need for immediate change in his Letter From Birmingham. One of his most powerful quotes states, "Sometimes a law is just on its face and unjust in its application" (King).

Happy Friday! Last Friday of senior year!

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. It is important to emphasize that “Mental health awareness is the recognition that our psychological well-being is an important part of our own health, productivity, and happiness, as well as the well-being of our communities".

Happy last Wednesday, Class of 2022!!

If anybody has a chance - go check out the Senior AP Studio Art portfolios (if they are still up) in the Annex! So proud of my classmates ❤️

[Heidi McGannon @HeidiMcgannon]

I enjoyed the school Art Show yesterday. It was so exciting to see the culmination of a year of developing ideas and pieces. Shoutout the 8 other seniors; seeing your portfolios was such a moment of joy and pride.

[Joi Almonacy @JoiAlmonacy]
