Saints Rising Up
The Saint’s Volleyball team was selling shirts over homecoming week that had #SAINTSRISEUP on the front and the Saint’s general logo on the back. I wasn’t really sure where the hashtag had come from until today. We were traveling to Morris MN to play in a match. Their team was having a Melanoma Awareness match because one of their players had been diagnosed last spring. Thankfully now she is doing well, but it was still really bad when she got it. For their game, we wore black, the color of Melanoma. We also all decided to donate money to her, so we pinned the number 5 in $1 bills because she is number 5. She was surprised with this, and I think it really was an amazing thing for us to do. Every girl on our team donated money to her, and I truly believe that Saint’s do rise up. This is one of few examples of the selfless acts that Saints do on campus everyday, and that is why I love being a Saint.
