Lilly says, “If I were a season, I would be summer because it's filled with tanning and fun drink runs with Marit!”

Lilly plans to study nursing at Washington State University. “Most likely in 7 years I'll still be in school, but I can only hope that I am working as a travel nurse abroad somewhere like Vienna.”

We’re proud of you, Lilly! Congratulations!

What season would you be and why? “I think I would be the beginning of spring where all the snow is almost finished melting away, where the rivers are high, and the snow is turning into rain,” Alex writes.

Alex plans to attend the University of Washington – he has been assigned a general major of presciences in arts and sciences which he plans to turn into a major in chemistry and a minor in neuroscience.

In 7 years, Alex says, “I imagine myself hidden in my bunker plotting my revenge on the Chatgpt bots with a group of close friends. We will be planning an attack to take down the AI overlords that now rule the world and have focused on eradicating the human race.”

Advice for younger students? “Go have fun! You only have one life to spend it wasting away in your room. I know high school feels like a long time but it goes by in a flash. Go jump in the lake, join a sport, talk to someone new, make new friends. Humans are social creatures and you should try and build as many connections with others as possible.”

Congratulations, Alex! We wish you the best!

After graduation, Nella will be spending the summer in Ireland working as an intern for two former Irish Olympic equestrians. In the fall, she’ll be attending Savannah College of Art and Design to pursue a degree in Equine Studies with a minor in Fashion Design, while also trying out for their equestrian team.

In seven years, Nella says, “I envision myself having completed my four-year degree and spending time abroad traveling, gaining life experience, and learning from different cultures. I hope to continue creating new memories with loved ones and new friends while pursuing my passion for 3-day eventing and progressing up the levels of competition.”

“If I could offer younger students advice,” Nella writes, “I would say don’t be afraid to be yourself, even if it feels uncomfortable at first. It can take time to feel confident expressing your individuality, especially when it feels easier to follow what everyone else is doing. However, over time, being authentic to who you are becomes more natural, and confidence grows from that. Also, never be afraid to ask for help — it is something that will only support your growth in the long run.”

We’re so proud of your accomplishments, Nella! Congratulations!

Advice for younger students? “Take it easy and don't stress it. The work will get done.”

Congratulations, Emmet! We wish you all the best!

Lucy’s advice to younger students: “Try new things, even if they might be difficult, even if you might fail.”

We’re proud of your accomplishments, Lucy! Congratulations!

Wishing you all the best, Court! Congratulations!

Tesh says, “My superpower would be teleportation because I've spent so much of my time driving around and wishing I could just be there instantly. Also that would make seeing the world so easy, you could just travel wherever you wanted during the day and then teleport home at night.”

After graduation Tesh will be attending Whitman College to pursue a degree in psychology.

In 7 years, “I'll be out of college, maybe living with roommates who would hopefully let me adopt some cats because I've always wanted to. I hope to have settled into my career and still be traveling and exploring the world,” Tesh writes.

Advice for younger students: “Challenge yourself once, and then keep challenging yourself after. You'll never know what you're capable of if you don't let yourself find out.”

Congratulations, Tesh! We wish you all the best!
