You know the saying “Once a Naz girl always a Naz girl.” Lately I have been thinking though, what does it mean to be a Naz girl? Oh let me count the ways!
Being a Naz girl isn’t about just having a diploma from Nazareth and going to an all girls private school. Being a Naz girl means having that connection with all other Naz girls, no matter what graduating year. Being a Naz girl means having the confidence to walk up to any one wearing a Nazareth shirt, no matter where you are, and starting a conversation.
Being a Naz girl means going to a school with the diversity of a public school, mentality and education of a private school. Being a Naz girl means looking out for our sisters.
Being a Naz girl means having fun during school, being able to finger paint, play with play dough, and run to search for Easter eggs with out people looking at you weird (mostly either because they are doing the same thing or are extremely jealous.) Being a Naz girl means wanting to jump into a giant plastic ball pit any day.
Being a Naz girl means wandering around after you finished your lunch and none of the teachers have to worry about you getting in trouble. Being a Naz girl means daydreaming about Nazareth cookies before lunch and wishing you had another one after lunch. Being a Naz girl means eating pizza every Tuesday and pasta every Thursday.
Being a Naz girl means waking up and not fussing in front of the mirror for an hour (we don’t have to impress any boys!)
Being a Naz girl means doing stuff like turning pennies gold, having tug-of-wars on the front lawn, and decorating the school for special occasions.
Being a Naz girl means not liking EVERYONE in your class, but working hard to get along.
Being a Naz girl means coming together on that sad day our school closed and helping everyone get through it.
This is what being a Naz girl means. It means working hard, but still having fun. It means helping each other, getting along, and working together. That’s what I will miss when I walk into school next year.

I like this post! It seems like Naz is a lot of fun, from my outsider-looking-in perspective anyway.
ReplyDeleteNobody outside of Naz really can comprehend being a Naz girl until they've spent a day walking the halls of our amazing Academy :) I really like this post because it does capture the esscense of being a Naz girl <3.
