"Any Dream Will Do"

Everyone that knows Mr. Luciano, Director of Recruitment here at UC, has probably heard him say the phrase, “Just livin’ the dream…” Since there are so many opportunities for students to succeed and enjoy themselves at Union Catholic, dreams really can come true!

If you’ve read my past blogs, you know that I’m a member of the Performing Arts Company and have been rehearsing for “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.” Since we got back from Christmas break, practices have been heating up, with opening night less than two months away! (one of the songs from Joseph is called “Any Dream Will Do” – my “theme for this blog! J) Rehearsals can last from a minimum of two hours, to almost an entire day. This reality just shows how I’m livin’ my dream here at UC!

More dreams came true when the Boy’s Track Team won the title of Mountain Valley Conference Champions. Four of them have just qualified to compete at the Millrose Games at Madison Square Garden! You can read more about that in the Sophomore’s blog J

College acceptance letters are coming in, and seniors are realizing their dreams of attending the colleges of their choice. My friends and I are starting to seriously consider which colleges we see ourselves at too.

Our Forensics Team competed in our fourth league meet on Saturday, and the team came in third overall! Chris and I placed 2nd in Duo, Sophomore Arielle placed 1st in Declamation, Angelo and John placed 5th in Debate, and James and Keith placed 4th in Debate. When a “forensicator” receives enough points, they are eligible to compete at Nationals, which are held in Appleton, Wisconsin this year! We’re all crossing our fingers, with only 2 meets left!

In school this week, we’ll be reviewing for our Midterm Exams, which start on Friday. On Thursday, we get a “study day,” which is good because getting ready for midterms is always a little stressful. No daydreaming here!

It’s getting closer and closer to Registration Day for the Class of 2012. There are so many exciting things for the 8th graders to look forward to! I hope all of your dreams come true in being accepted to the high school you want. If you decide to come to UC, I know you’ll be happy that you did. Then you can become a part of the UC Community and live your dreams with all of us!
