Jessica Kohley teaches intro to digital applications, intro to craft skills and woodworking principles, and teaching is something that has stuck with her from a young age.

“My mom was a teacher [when I was] growing up, so I always saw what she did,” Kohley said. “My dad was an architect, so being able to teach tech ed and woodshop was a way I got to mix both of my interests together.”

On the other hand, Cristian Paxtor, Spanish teacher, initially wanted to be a doctor growing up, but working with students one on one prompted his joy for teaching. 

Teaching wasn’t really something Paxtor had planned on doing back in high school, Paxtor said. His junior and senior year he started tutoring students for ESOL, which brought about the idea of teaching.

Outside of woodworking, Kohley has a minor in graphic design, planning on slowly shifting to that area of teaching over the next couple of years. Her major, teaching and engineering education, allows her to be able to teach the majority of the CTE courses, rather than just woodshop or graphic design. 

“Next year I’ll teach kind of everything,” Kohley said. “I’ll teach those same classes, carpentry, woodworking 2 and audio and video graphic design.”

Paxtor has a minor in ESOL and Dance, illustrating his passions and values. Paxtor grew up dancing, starting out with Latin Ballroom dancing, then shifting to technical dance his sophomore year.

“I feel like that surprises a lot of students because they’ve never seen a male dancer before,” Paxtor said. “I think that would just be a huge surprise.”

Teaching has already been rewarding to our new teachers, Paxtor emphasizing the joy that comes with building positive relationships. 

“I love seeing when students show an interest in culture, as well.” Paxtor said.

This project is meant to push students beyond simple essays and learn real-world communication skills. Instead of simply writing for their teacher, students are speaking to a large group, explaining topics that are important to them, and really trying to connect with the audience. Another big purpose of this project is building public speaking skills and confidence. Many students aren’t used to presenting on their own ideas, so this project helps them practice organizing their thoughts, speaking clearly, and engaging an audience.

“Preparing to talk in front of people was hard, because I haven’t really done that.” Junior Addie Broxterman said. “So yeah, and I had to figure out how not to say “like” a million times and not to yap the whole time.”

The process wasn’t just learning public speaking, however. Throughout the course of the semester, AP Language students had to refine their speeches, prepare visual aids, and practice over and over again. While these may seem like simple tasks, each piece has to come together to create the speech. When asked what the hardest part was of preparing, Junior Hadrian Zurek said that the hardest part actually ended up being the visual aid.

“The visual aid 100%. I think I’m a great speaker. I hope other people do too,” Zurek said. “I had, like a full year in class to work on it, I have practice, practice and access to resources. Everything was offered to me, visual aids are just a difficult part of writing speeches.”

The TED-style project not only challenged students to step outside their comfort zones, but also gave them the opportunity to share ideas that matter. As they move on, the skills they developed in research, presentation, and public speaking will extend far beyond the classroom.

#1 Las Vegas Raiders Select: Fernando Mendoza, Quarterback, Indiana
The Las Vegas Raiders hold the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, which shouldn’t be a difficult selection for them with a clear need at quarterback that hasn’t been filled since 2022, when they had Derek Carr. So, with a Heisman-caliber quarterback and national champion Fernando Mendoza on the board coming off a career year with 3,535 passing yards, 41 touchdowns, and only six interceptions I think this pick will be in within seconds, maybe a minute or two.

#2 New York Jets Select: Arvell Reese, Linebacker, Ohio State
The New York Jets hold the second overall pick in the NFL Draft, with multiple needs. With two first-round picks, that will help them fill those needs. With the first one, I believe they’ll go defense after one of the worst defensive seasons ever. I think Ohio State linebacker Arvell Reese is going to be able to help that secondary and defensive line, which were their two biggest struggles last year. First, he can help drop back in coverage when needed. Even though he was never the best in coverage at Ohio State, he can still do it at a productive level. Anyone who watched him last season knows he can be a disruption on the defensive line, which I think is the best way to fill both needs in a draft where you can’t fill everything.

#3 Arizona Cardinals Select: Francis Mauigoa, Tackle, Miami
The Arizona Cardinals hold the third overall pick in the NFL Draft, going into a clear rebuild year with Jacoby Brissett most likely at quarterback. They have to fill a need, and I think they go offensive line because their offense was one of their biggest struggles last year. Protecting their quarterback will help them at least compete. If they want to do that, they have to take the best offensive lineman available. I think that is Francis Mauigoa from Miami. This pick is for the future. Next year, they can select a quarterback and already have the offensive line in place, which is one of the best ways to help a quarterback develop.

#4 Tennessee Titans Select: Sonny Styles, Linebacker, Ohio State
The Tennessee Titans hold the fourth overall pick in the NFL Draft, with multiple needs just like the Jets. They could go offense or defense, either of which would help. However, with the Titans hiring Robert Saleh as head coach, a defensive-minded coach—I believe they will lean toward defense. Their biggest defensive need is linebacker, after one of the worst linebacker units in the league last season. This pick allows them to select one of the best linebackers in the draft, an athletic player who can play multiple roles on defense.

#5 New York Giants Select: Caleb Downs, Safety, Ohio State
The New York Giants hold the fifth overall pick in the NFL Draft, coming into this draft with a young but talented roster. You could argue they are just a good secondary away from competing for a Super Bowl if everyone returns healthy, including Malik Nabers and Cam Skattebo. With the secondary being their biggest remaining need, Caleb Downs’ skill level makes it hard to believe they would pass on him if he is still available at No. 5.

#6 Cleveland Browns Select: Monroe Freeling, Tackle, Georgia
The Cleveland Browns hold the sixth overall pick in the NFL Draft. After selecting their franchise quarterback last year in Shedeur Sanders and already having one of the best defenses in the league, I believe they will focus on improving the tackle position, which struggled last season. I think the second-best tackle in the draft will be available here in Georgia’s Monroe Freeling, and that he fits exactly what they need.

#7 Washington Commanders Select: Jeremiyah Love, Running Back, Notre Dame
The Washington Commanders hold the seventh overall pick in the NFL Draft. They have a solid team but were impacted heavily by injuries last season, which lowered their win total. That season may actually help them long-term because it gives them a chance to land a top prospect. Their biggest need is running back, and Jeremiyah Love is a talented option who could completely change their running back room after a disappointing season.

#8 New Orleans Saints Select: Rueben Bain Jr., Edge Rusher, Miami
The New Orleans Saints hold the eighth overall pick in the NFL Draft. I originally thought they might select a franchise running back, but they already addressed that need by signing Travis Etienne. Now I believe they will turn to defense, specifically edge rusher. Rueben Bain Jr. stands out as the best defensive end in this draft and fits their biggest remaining need.

#9 Kansas City Chiefs Select: David Bailey, Edge Rusher, Texas Tech
The Kansas City Chiefs hold the ninth pick in the NFL Draft. They are in a strong position with Patrick Mahomes at quarterback and a strong running game, but their defense needs help. They lost several cornerbacks and lacked a consistent pass rush outside of George Karlaftis and Chris Jones. I think they could go cornerback or defensive line, but because edge rusher depth drops quickly, they select David Bailey from Texas Tech.

#10 Cincinnati Bengals Select: Dillon Thieneman, Safety, Oregon
The Cincinnati Bengals hold the tenth overall pick in the NFL Draft. They are close to returning to the playoffs or even a Super Bowl contender. Their biggest remaining need is at safety, and Dillon Thieneman, the second-best safety in the class, falls perfectly to them here.

#11 Miami Dolphins Select: Carnell Tate, Wide Receiver, Ohio State
The Miami Dolphins hold the eleventh overall pick in the NFL Draft. They are clearly entering a rebuild after trading Jaylen Waddle and losing Tyreek Hill. That leaves Jalen Tolbert as their top receiver, which is not ideal. Wide receiver is a clear need, and Carnell Tate is widely considered the top receiver in the class. If the board falls this way, this pick could be one of the fastest selections in the first round.

#12 Dallas Cowboys Select: Mansoor Delane, Cornerback, LSU
The Dallas Cowboys hold the twelfth overall pick in the NFL Draft. They have two clear needs after a long Super Bowl drought: cornerback and edge rusher. After trading away Micah Parsons and releasing Trevon Diggs, both positions are major holes. I think they start with the best cornerback available in LSU’s Mansoor Delane, especially with the edge rusher depth still available later.

#13 Los Angeles Rams Select: Spencer Fano, Tackle, Utah
The Los Angeles Rams hold the thirteenth pick in the NFL Draft, acquired in a trade with the Atlanta Falcons. As a Super Bowl contender, they use this pick to protect Matthew Stafford, who is nearing retirement. Offensive tackle is their biggest need on the offensive line, and Spencer Fano is the best option available.

#14 Baltimore Ravens Select: Olaivavega Loane, Guard, Penn State
The Baltimore Ravens hold the fourteenth overall pick in the NFL Draft. After losing center Tyler Linderbaum, they need help on the interior offensive line. Guard and center are both needs, and Penn State’s Olaivavega Loane is one of the best interior linemen available here.

#15 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Select: Kenyon Sadiq, Tight End, Oregon
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers hold the fifteenth overall pick in the NFL Draft. Injuries and free agency losses have created multiple needs, including wide receiver after Mike Evans left in free agency. However, I believe they go tight end and use Kenyon Sadiq as a versatile weapon who can function as both a receiver and tight end.

#16 New York Jets Select: Makai Lemon, Wide Receiver, USC
The New York Jets hold the sixteenth overall pick, acquired in a trade with the Indianapolis Colts. After trading Sauce Gardner, they use this pick to build around their future quarterback. Wide receiver is a key need, and Makai Lemon gives them a reliable weapon.

#17 Detroit Lions Select: CJ Allen, Linebacker, Georgia
The Detroit Lions hold the seventeenth overall pick. After losing linebacker Alex Anzalone and not replacing him in free agency, linebacker becomes an obvious need. CJ Allen is a strong fit to fill that role.

#18 Minnesota Vikings Select: Jermod McCoy, Cornerback, Tennessee
The Minnesota Vikings hold the eighteenth overall pick. They need an elite cornerback to stabilize their secondary and remain competitive. They continue building toward contention, and McCoy fits that need.

#19 Carolina Panthers Select: Jordyn Tyson, Wide Receiver, Arizona State
The Carolina Panthers hold the nineteenth overall pick. They continue building around Bryce Young, and wide receiver remains a major need. Jordyn Tyson is a strong option at this point in the draft.

#20 Dallas Cowboys Select: Akheem Mesidor, Edge Rusher, Miami
The Dallas Cowboys hold the twentieth overall pick, acquired from the Green Bay Packers in a trade involving Micah Parsons. After addressing cornerback earlier, they now replace Parsons with Akheem Mesidor.

#21 Pittsburgh Steelers Select: Blake Miller, Tackle, Clemson
The Pittsburgh Steelers hold the twenty-first overall pick. Offensive tackle was a major issue last season, and Blake Miller is a strong candidate to stabilize the position.

#22 Los Angeles Chargers Select: Kayden McDonald, Defensive Tackle, Ohio State
The Los Angeles Chargers hold the twenty-second overall pick. Injuries at offensive tackle have been an issue, but they also need help inside on defense. McDonald adds depth and potential long-term stability.

#23 Philadelphia Eagles Select: Keldric Faulk, Edge Rusher, Auburn
The Philadelphia Eagles hold the twenty-third overall pick. After losing edge rusher Jalen Phillips in free agency, they replace him with Keldric Faulk.

#24 Cleveland Browns Select: Kadyn Proctor, Tackle, Alabama
The Cleveland Browns hold the twenty-fourth overall pick, acquired from the Jaguars. They double down on offensive tackle to fix one of the weakest units in the league.

#25 Chicago Bears Select: Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, Safety, Toledo
The Chicago Bears hold the twenty-fifth overall pick. After losing multiple safeties in free agency, safety becomes their top need.

#26 Buffalo Bills Select: Caleb Banks, Defensive Tackle, Florida
The Buffalo Bills hold the twenty-sixth overall pick. Defensive tackle is their main need next to Ed Oliver, who currently lacks consistent help.

#27 San Francisco 49ers Select: Cashius Howell, Edge Rusher, Texas A&M
The San Francisco 49ers hold the twenty-seventh overall pick. They add an edge rusher to pair with Nick Bosa, filling a long-standing need on the opposite side.

#28 Houston Texans Select: Emmanuel Pregnon, Guard, Oregon
The Houston Texans hold the twenty-eighth overall pick. They continue improving their offensive line to better protect C.J. Stroud, especially on the interior.

#29 Kansas City Chiefs Select: Avieon Terrell, Cornerback, Clemson
The Kansas City Chiefs hold the twenty-ninth overall pick, acquired in a trade. After addressing defensive line earlier, they now replace Trent McDuffie at cornerback.

#30 Miami Dolphins Select: Omar Cooper Jr., Wide Receiver, Indiana
The Miami Dolphins hold the thirtieth overall pick, acquired from the Broncos. They continue rebuilding their receiver room after major roster changes.

#31 New England Patriots Select: Peter Woods, Defensive Tackle, Clemson
The New England Patriots hold the thirty-first overall pick. Defensive tackle becomes their top need after addressing other positions in free agency.

#32 Seattle Seahawks Select: Colton Hood, Cornerback, Tennessee
The Seattle Seahawks hold the thirty-second overall pick. After losing Tariq Woolen in free agency, cornerback becomes a key need, and Hood is a strong fit.

Freshman Alivia Krantz shared her thoughts about the new policy for Freshman students. 

Krantz believes community service is “A way to help give back to your community.” Krantz said. “You can help those that are less fortunate than you, or if someone’s busy you can help them, like keeping track of their kids.”

Many students don’t have a future planned but being ready for your future and preparing slowly through school by doing community service, can do a lot for scholarships and applications for college. 

“I would recommend that students identify their career goals and passions and then try to find volunteer opportunities that are closely related to those,” Thomas said. “You also have to think outside of the box when trying to find community service. 

There are many ways to earn community service hours. For example, students can earn their service hours by joining a club, class or stuff outside of school that recognizes community service. 

Knowing the level of responsibility students have over their own future, reflects back on what Krantz said about community service and what people can learn from it. A big thing students will learn is the level of responsibility that they will take over on their years of going to school and serving their community.

Taking on this type of responsibility takes time and effort, and most importantly, courage. Counselor Gina Ulbrich, talks about her thoughts of community service and ways it could help students improve their hours if they’re finding ways to get service hours.

“Join a club that has Community Service opportunities embedded within what they do on a normal basis,” Ulbrich said. “If you belong to a church, there are often opportunities through church. The Humane Society is always looking for people to keep the animals company, and that would also count!”

Opportunities through your community helps even when you don’t realize. Caring for dogs and volunteering at church counts not only towards hours but to those who need it the most. Even keeping company for the dogs at the shelter could help give back to the community. 

Not only are there important life aspects that come with serving the community, but there are always ways we can serve to help individuals with mental issues. 

Ulbrich explains, “Having fun, getting to know other people in the community and making your surrounding area better!”

There are many ways community service can improve mental health. Having fun and interacting with the community and being surrounded in areas where there are similar mindsets that think alike. 

As a result, serving the community could help in so many ways, not only physically but also mentally by offering new opportunities and opening new doors in life that become unexpected. 

Thomas expresses that there is a world with people who need help, when we drop selfishness and ego-driven desires to help those in need within the community. 

“The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others,” Thomas said.

#1 Bengals Defensive End, Trey Hendrickson: Trey Hendrickson is 6 foot 4 inches, weighing in at 265 pounds. He is set to enter free agency at the age of 31 after finishing his 10th year in the NFL. This year he had 11 solo tackles, four sacks and a forced fumble, while only playing seven out of the 17 games this season. However, in the last three years he racked up 39 sacks, including 17.5 sacks in each of the two seasons before this year when he played all 17 games. With him being an elite defensive end set to enter free agency, he’s going to get a lot of attention from many teams. He is also the best defensive end to enter free agency since Von Miller in 2022. “Trey Hendrickson is the No. 1 ranked free agent for a reason,”Mason Cameron said. “He’s a ‘plug-and-play’ superstar who transforms a defensive front the second he steps in the huddle.” (Cameron, NFL analyst and writer for Pro Football Focus). So he’s definitely going to be a treasured player in free agency because players at his position rarely get let go, especially elite defensive ends.

#2 Ravens Center, Tyler Linderbaum: Tyler Linderbaum is 6 foot 2 inches, weighing in at 304 pounds. He is set to enter free agency at the young age of 25 after finishing his fourth season and completing his rookie contract, so he definitely has a lot of good years ahead of him. This year he ranked fourth in the league with an 83.1 PFF run-blocking grade in 2025. He is considered one of the best run-blocking linemen in the league. He is also very reliable, playing all 66 games during his time with the Ravens, which earned him three Pro Bowl invitations. With him being the youngest center on the market, one of the most reliable, and great at what he does, he’s going to be prized by teams with an open hole at the center position or teams looking for an upgrade. As Jeremy Fowler noted, “Linderbaum is considered a top-10 interior offensive lineman in the eyes of execs, coaches and scouts.” (Fowler, senior writer and insider for ESPN). With him being this talented and this young, he’s going to get paid.

#3 Colts Wide Receiver, Alec Pierce: Alec Pierce is 6 foot 3 inches and weighs 211 pounds, entering free agency at age 25 after finishing his rookie contract. With his young age and potential, he’s going to be one of the most wanted receivers in free agency. Even though he was considered underutilized in the Colts offense by many fans and analysts, he still had 47 receptions for 1,003 yards, six touchdowns, and averaged 21.3 yards per reception. He is most known for being a deep-ball specialist and a bigger receiver. This is supported by what Mason Cameron said: “Pierce is a threat to take the top off any defense, having tied for the third-most deep receptions (24) over the past two seasons.” (Cameron, NFL analyst and writer for Pro Football Focus). With all of that, he has the potential to become one of the best wide receivers in the league, especially as he enters his prime.

#4 Eagles Outside Linebacker, Jalen Phillips: Jalen Phillips is 6 foot 5 inches, weighing 266 pounds. He is entering free agency at age 26, giving him multiple years left in his prime. He is coming off his best year after being traded midseason from the Miami Dolphins to the Philadelphia Eagles. He finished with 29 solo tackles, five sacks and a forced fumble. This showed that in the right defense he can be elite. With that potential and his position being highly valued, he’s going to be very wanted in free agency. When Jalen Phillips is in a defense that utilizes him well, he can be one of the best at his position and can upgrade a defense instantly. Whoever signs him will be getting a top outside linebacker and a game-changer who can play all over the field.

#5 Chargers Outside Linebacker, Odafe Oweh: Odafe Oweh is 6 foot 5 inches and weighs 251 pounds, entering free agency at age 27. This is considered the prime age for an outside linebacker like Oweh. He is coming off a season with 20 tackles and 7.5 sacks, and he doesn’t just play outside linebacker — he lines up all over the field. This versatility will make him an even more valuable player in this upcoming free agency pool. As Khris Rhim said, “At 27, Oweh appears to be one of the league’s most promising edge rushers.” (Rhim, ESPN analyst). With him already being a solid player and still expected to improve, he has the potential to become one of the top outside linebackers in the next few years. He will definitely be a highly wanted player when free agency begins.

#6 Packers Left Tackle, Rasheed Walker: Rasheed Walker is 6 foot 6 inches, weighing 324 pounds, and is entering free agency as the youngest offensive tackle available. With him entering his prime — which can last up to 10 years for tackles — and being one of the best pass blockers in the NFL, he will be highly sought after. This year he had the 11th-best grade for tackles in pass blocking, with a 93.8 percent win rate on pass blocks. This will likely continue to improve as he develops and gains more experience. Because of this, he could become not just a great tackle, but a franchise player at the position for whichever team signs him. Protecting the quarterback’s blindside is extremely important, so a young tackle with that potential will receive many offers during free agency.

#7 Seahawks Running Back, Kenneth Walker: Kenneth Walker is 5 foot 9 inches, weighing 211 pounds, and in my opinion is the best running back in free agency. He is only 25 and just finished his rookie contract. This year he had 1,027 rushing yards on 221 carries, averaging 4.6 yards per carry with five touchdowns. With these stats, you might think he carried a full workload all season, but he split carries with Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet. However, when he did get a full workload, he showed he could handle it. In the Super Bowl he rushed for 135 yards on 27 carries, winning Super Bowl MVP. With his burst, vision and age, he will be a very valuable player in this year’s free agency. With Breece Hall getting franchise-tagged, Walker becomes the clear top running back on the market. Dalton Wasserman said, “The Super Bowl 60 MVP is likely to have a robust market. His 91.5 PFF rushing grade this season led all qualified running backs.” (Wasserman, Pro Football Focus analyst). With all he can do, whichever team signs him will be getting a great player.

#8 Colts Right Tackle, Braden Smith: Braden Smith is 6 foot 6 inches, weighing 312 pounds, and is entering free agency at age 29. That might be considered older for some positions, but for tackles it is still relatively young since many top tackles play into their mid-30s. He had a great season this year and was part of one of the league’s better run games. Early in the season, he was also part of a Colts offensive line that did not allow a sack in Weeks 6, 7 and 12. Even after quarterback Daniel Jones went down with a torn right Achilles, Smith continued to play at a high level. Because of his production at such an important position, he will receive plenty of offers from teams looking to improve their offensive line.

#9 Broncos Defensive Tackle, John Franklin-Myers: John Franklin-Myers is 6 foot 4 inches, weighing 288 pounds, and enters free agency at age 29. Many consider him the best defensive tackle in this free agency pool. He had another strong season with 12 solo tackles and 7.5 sacks. However, those numbers do not tell the full story. Even when he doesn’t make the play himself, he often opens up opportunities for his teammates to make plays. That is exactly what teams want from a defensive tackle. Because of his ability to impact the defensive line and create opportunities for others, he will be a highly sought-after player in free agency.

#10 Saints Cornerback, Alontae Taylor: Alontae Taylor is 6 foot 0 inches, weighing 199 pounds, and is entering free agency after finishing his rookie contract at age 27. He is considered one of the better cornerbacks in the league. This season he recorded 59 solo tackles, two interceptions and 11 passes deflected. However, these stats do not fully represent his value because he is not necessarily a flashy, playmaking cornerback. Instead, he is a textbook cornerback who consistently does his assignment on every play. That reliability will make him a prized player in free agency. With his skill set and potential to continue improving, he will definitely attract attention from teams looking to strengthen their secondary.

So there’s my Top 10 NFL Free Agents list, giving you the top players your team could pick up and showing which teams might lose key players. Now we just have to watch as these players come off the board and the new NFL league year begins, bringing us one step closer to the start of the next NFL season.

“I’ve always been passionate about education, and I feel like for what I want to do education is key,” Junior Ellie Carper said. “I want to prioritize that over working and get a little bit more experience in different areas, like in Iowa, not just here.”

Carper is a junior this year, but with hard work she is graduating early. She has been taking college classes and is going to be going into college as a sophomore. She is going to Pittsburg State University to major in biology, and then she is hoping to go to the University of Iowa and join their dental program. Her plans after college are to move to a big city and start a family and just live her life to the fullest. 

Issac Mack said, “After high school (I will) go to OTC which is Ozark Technical Community College for culinary, hotel and restaurant management.”

After high school Mack wants to go to college, so that one day he can open his own restaurant. When asked where he would want to open a restaurant he said he wants to move somewhere different and open a restaurant because he has been in Pittsburg his whole life.

Mack said he wants to go to college because he wants to open his own restaurant. In order to do that he needs a degree. He is most excited to move away and get a new change of scenery to start his life.

Grace Rogers plans to go to Mid-America Nazarene University majoring in youth ministry. The reason she chose her major is because she has always looked up to her youth pastor, Trinity Ozias, and she feels like that is what she is meant to do with her life. Rogers is worried about the change from being at home with her family and in high school to moving two hours away for college.

She described getting ready for college as the song “Landslide” by Fleetwood Mac. This song is about going through major life changes and growing as a person. After college she wants to become a youth pastor and bring young people to Jesus. 

“I just feel like I was called,” Senior Grace Rogers said. “I want to inspire young people, lead them to Jesus, because I feel like that’s what I’m supposed to do.” 

Kadence Burns said “I am going to Neosho Community College to play soccer.”

Burns is excited to play soccer at a collegiate level. She has played soccer her whole life and she can’t wait to continue playing after high school. She wants to major in criminal justice but she isn’t sure yet. If she majors in criminal justice she wants to go towards being a lawyer or something around that rather than being a cop. She is most nervous about moving somewhere that is new where she won’t know anyone. She is excited to make new friends and start this new chapter of her life. 

They are majoring in everything from engineering,  medical field and biology just to name a few. People are going to trade school. Some will go onto opening their own carpentry business or restaurant. As graduation quickly approaches and seniors are deciding what to do with the rest of their lives, they should think big and go for what they have dreamed of their whole life. This is when the seniors finally get to choose their path and do amazing things with it in the future. 

There were many other options other than college. Walter Campbell is planning on saving money and moving to California. Sharon Batlok is going to go work with family at the Marshall Islands.

At the end of the day everyone will go their separate ways and in just a couple months these moments will just be memories, so seniors should live these last couple moments to the fullest. 

“It’s going to be entirely different, and I’m super nervous about that but I know that God’s got this,” Rogers said.
