As graduation is just right around the corner, the senior class of 2019 was asked a series of questions pertaining to their colleges, classes, and plans after their high school careers are over.
Firstly, seniors were asked what their plans were after high school; after all, not all students decide to take the college route right after they graduate.
Callie Weatherly mentioned, “I will be going to college, but I am going to take a gap year in between. My life is a mess and I need to get it in order before making a huge and expensive commitment like college.”
Alex Trentmann stated, “Enjoy a summer off and go to college at Missouri Western State University.”
Nathan Remillard commented, “I plan to go into the workforce after high school, but later try to attend a college for my art career. I plan to one day become an anime and manga creator.”
Secondly, the seniors who plan to attend college after high school were asked what college they have decided on and why they picked that college in particular.
Callie Weatherly stated, “After my gap year I plan to attend Southeast Missouri State University (SEMO).”
Mikayla Maloney exclaimed, “I’ve decided on Lindenwood University because it’s a great school, and it’s relatively close to home.”
Lexi Oetterer mentioned, “I am going to attend the University of Missouri - Columbia (Mizzou).”
Furthermore, the students were asked what majors, programs, etc., they’ve decided on and when they’re going to register for their classes.
Lexi Oetterer stated, “I am going to major in Political Science, and I have not decided on a minor yet.”
She continued: “I will register for classes during my summer welcome, which is in June. I do not know what classes I am going to register for though.”
Mikayla Maloney mentioned, “[I plan to major in] Criminology/Criminal Justice. I register on May 17th. I already have three classes: Law and Order, Criminology, and English Comp.”
Callie Weatherly exclaimed, “I am currently undecided. I'd like to teach history and English, but I really like Historic Preservation too. Throughout the last two years of high school, I have developed a love for writing. I would love to become a published writer or maybe even become a screenwriter. If I did the screenwriter's path, I might even do acting classes or stage design with it. I would love to do it all, but that just isn't realistic. I just can't seem to decide which of my loves I want to make into a career. I really don't want to give up any of them, so I hope to at least keep the others as some sort of hobby.”
Finally, the seniors were asked what they were most excited for in terms of the college lifestyle.
Mikayla Maloney mentioned, “I am excited to have more freedom and live the adult life.”
Callie Weatherly stated, “I am excited to have more of an independent lifestyle.”
Alex Trentmann commented, “Meeting new people and seeing a new place.”
It sounds like the students in the senior class of 2019 have bright futures ahead of them. Good luck on all your future plans and ambitions, seniors!
