On Thursday March 25th I attended Presentation of Mary Academy's Pearls of Wisdom night as their guest speaker. I graduated from PMA in 1997 and it was great to go back and see some of my former teachers and all the changes that were made to the school. The event took place in the library which used to be the old gymnasium. They have since built a new gym named after my principal Sister Rosemarie Dupre, who had passed away from cancer several years ago.
Paula Liberte, the event coordinator, had called back several alumni to adopt a little sister from the 2011 graduating class. Each one of us got up with our little sister and gave them some brief words of advice. My little sister Leah was a remarkable young lady. She is planning to attend college and major in psychology, she has her college choices narrowed down to two schools, Endicott, or Umass Amherst. My pearls of wisdom to Leah was that: "life is not measured in the breaths we take but by the moments that take your breath away." Afterwards we all enjoyed refreshments, a truly enjoyable experience.
