- There are some changes made by pope Francis. Pope Francis is the first Pope to wash other people's feet. Before Pope Francis was elected, other Pope only washed those given people's feet. However, Pope Francis not only washed the given people's feet but also washed other people's feet who from different countries and different religious because he believed that God loves everyone no matter poor or rich so that he wants to act as God says. Pope Francis also claims that science is existent, but other old popes never state that because they think Science and religious are the opposite things.

4. What hopes do you have for the present day Catholic Church?
- I have the hope for the present day Catholic Church because of Pope Francis. He was the great Pope. He acts as God did and said. He also thinks everything was connected, so he is brave to claim that science and church were related. He can lay down his noble body to wash other's feet just like Jesus. He told people to be mercy, hope, peace and joy. His teaching and actions will influence people. I think I will see the love, hope and new things in the catholic church

1. What did you find interesting about the history of the Sisters of Notre Dame?
- For one of the ladies who is very old, she said a long time ago, the second floor of Notre Dame is boarder room for those boarder students. In that time there is only one male teacher and rest of students and teachers either nuns or not. She also said her basketball coach was a nun. In that time, there are few of students.

2. What is something that you heard from the Alumnae Panel that stuck with you and why?
-  Two of those ladies said, they are working with their teachers as a workmate, which is weird. Imagine that when you 16 years old, your teachers who teach your history and English will be your workmate after 10 or more years later. A lot of the Alumnae Panel are working in Notre Dame some of them were classmate before. I stuck by the relationship between friends and friends, teachers and teachers,  teachers and students. I also stuck by years that teachers worked. 

3. What does it mean to you to be a part of the Notre Dame Community?
- I will be proud to be a part of the Notre Dame community. Notre Dame has the long and great history, the past memory is glory for me. If I am a part of the Notre Dame Community, I will also have those special memories and special friendships. If I am a part of the Notre Dame Community, I will be pride because I used to study in the building which full of history and memories, I will appreciate that time with my teacher and classmate. 

4. When you leave Notre Dame High School, what do you think are some values that will stay with you?
- When I leave Notre dame high school, I will cry because there is a lot of great memories happened in this place, it has the happy time and also the sad time. After I leave, there are something that will with me. The experiences from Notre Dame, for example, Cabin leader which is to be a leader in outdoor education, and many projects, retreat and trips with school. I also learned how to be patient, and be a nice leader in Notre Dame. These experience and knowledge will stay with me forever.
