This week, Jillian Alexander ’18, reflects on the gift of her Sacred Heart education. Jillian began in Pre-Primary and went on to Incarnate Word Academy and is now a junior at the University of Arkansas studying Marketing. Her classmates are very close and she counts those friendships — her Academy sisters and brothers — as a true gift.
The Academy has given me so much! I am very grateful for my Sacred Heart education. It has taught me amazing communication skills as well as organizational skills. Balancing a full-time job as well as being a full-time undergraduate student has pushed me to put my organizational skills to the test!
The Academy also gave me a strong faith foundation. I am able to go day to day feeling confident in who I am and in my faith because of what the Academy has taught me.
Coming to college I feel as though the manners, faith, education and habits that the Academy instilled in me help me stand out tremendously from the majority of the student population. I am forever thankful that my parents chose to send me to the Academy!
