                                         To be given the opportunity to reflect on my last 5 years here and to
                                         share my Teresian journey is nothing short of a privilege. When I
                                         stepped into this campus at the age of 18, I was resolved to not enjoy
                                         a single moment of my time here as an undergraduate student. I
                                         imagined that attending an all-girls College would mean that I’d end
                                         up having no fun. I could not have been more wrong.  The magical
                                         world reserved for just us here at St Teresa’s is truly unparalleled.
                                         Over my time here, I’ve grown to embrace and thoroughly enjoy living
                                         life the Teresian way, and I am filled with so much pride at being
                                         part of the impeccable legacy of a pioneering educational institution
                                         solely committed to the upliftment of the female community. Within
                                         this amazing haven, women encourage, support and empower
                                         other women, seek opportunities of growth together, rejoice in the
                                         triumphs of their peers, stand in solidarity during hardships, never
                                         let anyone in their fraternity accept defeat, and pledge to prove to
                                         the world that girls truly can do it all and have it all. This College has
                                         taught me that to be a Teresian means to constantly push yourself to
                                         seek new opportunities, to never remain complacent, and to never
                                         say no to even the most bizarre of ideas, because if we put our mind
                                         to it, it can undoubtedly be achieved. It has shown me to question,

                                                                                                               175
