Henri Bergson

Dear Class of 2009: It is with great honor that I share these words with you. 1 have no doubt that as you leave the Academy of Mount St. Ursula, you will continue the stellar tradition of so many women who have graced the classrooms and halls of our school. They have excelled in education, finance, government, and the arts. They have raised families. They have volunteered in their communities.

They live here in our city and well beyond. They have advocated for the poor and marginalized of our society. They have formed friendships which have been nurtured over the years.

It is with pride that I meet these women, and it is with pride that I now include you among them.

Build on the sacrifices your families have made on your behalf. Utilize the talents and skills you have been blessed with. Be caring and compassionate. Be loyal to friends and supportive of those who struggle. Know the difference between what is truly substantive in life and what is peripheral.

Never let undue anxiety cloud your judgment or the desire for material things corrupt your spirit.

May your hearts remain open to the spirit of love, which motivates all that is good. May your intellect remain attuned to the wisdom and insights of others.

As Maya Angelou has written: The horizon leans forward, offering you space to place new steps forward. Serviam!

With much love and prayers, Fr. John A. Vigilant!

President Dear Members of the Class of 2009: My message of congratulations to you is twofold: first, remember everything in life is a miracle; and second, what remains most important in life is our connections.

As you leave the Academy of Mount St. Ursula, be mindful that everything in life is a miracle, albeit God has a mysterious plan. Take with you the lessons that you have learned over these four years; choose hope over hate and the promise of the future over the poison of the past.

In all the events, in all the education, in all the insanity, what remains important is the encounter, the connections that you have made at the Academy of Mount St. Ursula. There are opportunities waiting for you; there are voices you must listen to. There are people who will be described by how you reacted to their needs. The finished portrait of you, the one you can never change no matter how beautifully framed, will encompass the core and vision you enacted on behalf of others.

Class of 2009, people come into our lives for a reason. So much of who you are is learned from those who came into your lives. As you graduate and recall how those at the Academy of Mount St. Ursula have rewritten the stories of your lives, I know you have re-written the stories of our lives, and because we knew you we have changed for the better. Congratulations and may everything in your lives be a miracle.

Sincerely, Dr. Joseph S. Fusco Principal

Dear Ladies of the Class of 2009,

"You need not be anxious if you do your best." â&#x20AC;&#x201D;St. Angela (Fourth Counsel)

yvoc

tile:

We are certain that you will never be anxious because you will be so busy doing your best when you leave Mount St. Ursula. Your best will be given in the spirit of serviam, the spirit of loving God, and the spirit of loving your neighbor as yourself.

You have meant a great deal to all of us at MSU. We appreciate your energy, your talents and your generosity of spirit.

You will make a difference in the world and we will miss you. Do your best!

God Bless.

Mrs. Caryolyn Dugggan Assistant Principal

To the Graduates of the Class of 2009,

The Academy of Mount St. Ursula is a place that thrives on tradition; it is the very essence of its soul and character. Traditions, however, are not singularly significant in and of themselves; rather, they bear relevance in our lives for the impressions they leave upon us and for the ways in which they help us to grow and develop as individuals. The most important tradition that MSU holds dear is its commitment to facilitating such growth within its students, and, as a direct consequence, to graduating intelligent, confident, and capable young women just like each of you. Ralph Waldo Emerson shares with us the following words of wisdom; "Nothing is secure but life, transition, the energizing spirit."

Your pending graduation signifies a transition from the comfortable security of your life at MSU to that of an entirely new, unexplored world, alive with hope and promise. As you move on, I challenge each of you to go forth and spread that contagious, energizing spirit and energy that so distinctly and unmistakably defines the Mount St. Ursula girl, securing for yourself all of the happiness and success that you undoubtedly deserve.

Congratulations, Class of 2009! May God's blessings be with you, through every endeavor.

The past four years at the Academy of Mount Saint Ursula have been an interesting experience. Being able to look at the completed pages of the yearbook, I am reminded of the diverse personalities of the student body, especially the class of 2009. I am grateful for all of the friends and acquaintances I have made here over the past couple of years, and wish them luck as we move on in life.

I hope this book will be a memorabilia to all my classmates and the faculty.

I would like to thank my fellow editor-in-chief and the rest of the staff who truly put their time and effort into the book. Also, I would like to thank Ms. Sitler as a moderator and a teacher for the advice she gave and Ms. Geiger for managing the business staff this year.

Though having my eighth period back is wonderful, I do not regret joining yearbook and would not want trade the experiences I had during the creation of "Traditions and Transitions". c ^ iir a

We have been through difficult times and rough transitions throughout our four years. Yet, we overcame. There is no limit to our achievements. Wherever our journey takes us in the following years ahead, I can say with confidence that our experience at Academy of Mount Saint Ursula has prepared us. It wont be easy. We learned through our experiences, friendships, and valuable virtues that will follow us beyond the wall of this school. All the experiences at AMSU, good or bad, have made us the people we are today.

It was a pleasure to work on this yearbook. I would like to thank my editor-in-chief. Yearbook staff, faculty, and administrations of Academy of Mount Saint Ursula to make this yearbook possible. I want to specially thank Ms. Sitler for her guidance throughout the book and Ms.Geiger for working on the business staff. We could not have done it without them.

These pages do not fill all the memories I will cherish for a lifetime, it is merely a footprint of what I experienced. Thank you all and may the following years ahead be for the best! ife\

From AMSU Faculty and Staff

DESIREE ELIZABETH Memories come flooding over us as we look back just a year ago...W e would like to hold on to you and at the same time watch you fly high and free... Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so easy to remember your very first steps and how we held out our hands for you to hold. As the years have passed you took more steps, and some of these will eventually lead you away from us. But always remember that we will always be here for you to guide you and support you. Tu seras toujours notre fille. Tu es pour nous le plus grand cadeau que la vie nous a donne et nous tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;aimons beacoup...W e wish you the best in all your future endeavors.

Love, Daddy & Mommy

Querida Desiree, En esta hora tan trascedental en la formacion de tu vida academica, es de mucho agrado recordar, que tus abuelos presenciamos tu dedicacion, disciplina, y voluntad de salir adelante en tus estudios; y lo has logrado para felicidad de toda tu familia, y con ese orgullo que sienten tus abuelos, contemplamos que tu futuro se abre con amplitud para dar cabida a tus suenos. Ahora, tan solo nos queda elevar una plegaria al cielo para desearte y felicitarte y que sea un exito tu vida universitaria.

Que Dios te bendiga.

Tus abuelos, Papi Soto & Mami Zena

Desi, 1 hope you have a wonderful time in college.

Remember you will always be the best sister in the whole world. I will miss you a lot. I hope you know I really look up to you and I am so proud of you.

Love your little brother, David Abdulai

Ma pctite-chou has emerged out of her cocoon into a beautiful butterfly! Desi, we are so proud of you! Congratulations. It wasn’t easy for this phase of your journey but you have weathered some of the storms of life and learned how to dance in the rain.

You have what it takes to succeed, use it well and reach for the stars. Just don't forget that with God all things in His will are possible and that He has made all of this possible.

Continue to make us all proud.

Love ya and God continue to bless you...

Rev. Vernon and Evang. Pat Hodelin, Pastor & Asst. Pastor |otvc(t^iw©©*v, fecOusactlslA Greater Rescue Church of Christ Inc., Jamaica, •(ils step i|©iL etvter N.y.

Dear DesiThank you for helping us with our homework and being patient with us when we don"t behave. We will miss you. Good luck in college.

Love, Lamine and Sita Cisse

Your strength, intelligence, and wit are ju st a few of the characteristics that have shaped you into a beautiful lovely young lady.

To Our lovely God daughter Ashley Gonzalez On the occasion of your High School graduation

We are so very proud of you as you celebrate this very special achievement and moment in your life. The strong love of family and the gentleness that you possess will guide you along the journey of life. We know that greater things are still to come your way so long as you embrace life's wonders and surprises; for with God anything is possible!

Be it known the Virtues of true character Ili ,! I' il* ii

And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and all minds through Jesus Christ. Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure.

Whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if they be any, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

Philippians 4:7-8 1

Love Your Godparents Manny and Iris Rosa

As you journey through life, choose your destinations well, but do not hurry there.

Avoid the shortcuts, wander the back roads, enjoy the scenery.

And remember that the true worth of your travels lies not in the destination but in who you come to be along the way.

Continue to be filled with love, compassion, honesty, and always remain true to yourself and share these gifts with others. Remember, Mommy will always be with you.

"Nothing will work unless you do."

"My dear Massi, I have to say that even though we have been best friends for only two years, it feels like we have been friends forever. My last two years at Ursula would have been a disaster fo r me without you because they have been the most dramatic and eventful years of my life. You were there by my side to share them with me. We have laughed, cried, and acted a fool together and that is what makes me see you as the sister I never had. I appreciate your friendship because it has made me stronger as a person because not only can we joke around, but i have also learned from you and I think you have learned from me as well. I just pray to God that our friendship can last forever. Thank you Massi fo r your friendship. Love you!"
