This translated to a paid writing position in college, as the featured Art reporter for the local newspaper. Taking on leadership roles in the fine arts, she edited the literary magazine and was featured in art exhibits. Naturally gifted, but often disorganized, she was encouraged and challenged at Mercy. Another daughter found her voice at Mercy. She felt comfortable seeking help when she needed it, and it paid off- she was on the Dean's list in college. It was the teachers that made the difference for her- she came away with the feeling that the teachers really wanted their girls to be successful, and were more than willing to put in extra time before or after school, during planning periods, or even at lunch. Parent: My oldest daughter selected Mercy after visiting several of the all girls private schools in the area.
