“In the most basic terms, what we need to do is start acting and risking and failing, and stop mumbling and apologizing and prevaricating.” – Katty Kay
“Underqualified and underprepared men don’t think twice about leaning in. Overqualified and overprepared, too many women still hold back. And the confidence gap is an additional lens through which to consider why it is women don’t lean in. Even when we are prepared to tolerate the personal disruption that comes with aiming high, even when we have plenty of ambition, we fundamentally doubt ourselves.” – Katty Kay
"You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.” – Maya Angelou
“Trying to do it all and expecting it all can be done exactly right is a recipe for disappointment. Perfection is the enemy.” – Sheryl Sandberg
“Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy—the experiences that make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.” – Brene Brown

“I have realized; it is during the times I am far outside my element that I experience myself the most. That I see and feel who I really am, the most! That's why I enjoy taking myself out of my own element, my own comfort zone, and hurling myself out into the unknown. Because it's during those scary moments, those unsure steps taken, that I am able to see that I'm like a comet hitting a new atmosphere: suddenly I illuminate magnificently and fire dusts begin to fall off of me! I discover a smile I didn't know I had, I uncover a feeling that I didn't know existed in me... I see myself. I'm a shooting star. A meteor shower. But I'm not going to die out. I guess I'm more like a comet then. I'm just going to keep on coming back.” - C. Joybell C.

“Yet, beyond the walls of the classroom, we are blessed with something more. We are blessed with a family of women, who passionately share a love for, in my case, the game of soccer. Talented in a multitude of ways, we bring and give everything we have, everything we are to one another each time we step foot on our field, our court, or rink. More importantly we play because we love one another. No matter the score, whether we win or lose, we are family, and the memories created in our years at Saint Ben’s as Blazers will forever hold a special place in our hearts.”
