What Others See

A special Thank You sent to us after a high school Senior volunteered with our students and faculty this January. In these moments, may we never forget that our ordinary is extraordinary. Thank you for your service Juan Diego Seniors!

"If this declares the end of my time at St. Olaf's, I do want to say thank you. Your school has reminded me that every person has inherent worth and that every person deserves to be heard. I feel like these kids not only saw me, but they saw each other. I love the community at your school, and it's amazing how much you all care about each other. Your school made me excited to wake up in the morning, and I came home from every day feeling honestly very fulfilled. Thank you for making a place for me and for making me feel like I belong. Your school did such an amazing job of helping me learn how to work with kids, and I really appreciate how involved you let me be. Thank you for all that you've done, I'm sorry that I didn't get to say goodbye in person.

I'm hoping that I'll be able to come back soon. Your school and your community have a very special place in my heart. Thank you for all that you've done for me, and thank you for making my senior service project so amazing."
