“I chose to come to Community because I didn’t want to go to a normal high school and because it is such a unique environment. It [CHS] has really prepared me for college because I’ve really been able to take my education into my own hands, which I think is an essential skill for higher education and life, where you get a lot more flexibility and responsibility. I feel prepared to take advantage of everything in college because I’ve been able to do that already here. Specifically, I’ve been able to go to Huron for music while also participating in the best of Community. Taking health sciences through Huron has been great because I get real-world experience at the hospital four times a week for two hours, but I also have a forum and teachers that I love here. Janelle, especially, has been a real one recently. She’s my forum leader and it’s good to know that you always have that one teacher that’s looking out for you in all aspects of school and life, who will let you know you’re in forum to be heard and they’re there to help you. After high school, I want to see how far I can take music. I plan to get a bachelor’s in music while also taking science classes and possibly go to med school afterwards. Eventually, I hope to write my own stuff and perform and see what I can do in four years, see if I can make a name for myself. If it doesn’t really work though, if I’m not feeling it, then I’ll still have science and medicine, which is a more practical path that I’m really, really interested in.“
