sort of dream job or anything like that. I want to go to school and study art which is something I’m very passionate about, and after that I’m not sure what I want to do. There are so many available options and as a high school student I don’t think I should tie myself down to a single occupation.
Jacob Edgar Cook 11th grade, Cloudcroft High School Cloudcroft in Otero County Otero County Electric Cooperative
I’ve been playing a lot of video games in my spare time. I’m also trying to stay active, which is important in quarantine. I’ve been staying active by taking hikes on trails around town while practicing adequate social distancing. In addition, I have a workout setup at home that I use for weights. I want to go into game design. Making content that people look back on after years is something that has always appealed to me.
Julie Maestas 11th grade, Escalante High School Chama in Rio Arriba County Northern Rio Arriba Electric Cooperative
During quarantine, I have been moving. I plan to graduate next year and attend college in California. This is as far as I have planned for my future. I would like to go into physical therapy and chiropractics so I will be able to open a gym one day.
JW Necaise 11th grade, Artesia High School Hagerman in Chaves County Central Valley Electric Cooperative
Most people were staying home, but I had very little “quarantine” as I was and still am working most of the time as my job is in agriculture; and therefore considered essential. I work on a ranch outside of Hope when needed and also work at the feed store owned by the same family in Artesia. I do fence work, and basically, anything else that needs to be done. My plans after high school are to join the military and then go to college at Northern Arizona University. I am planning on either joining the Army right out of high school, or I will join the National Guard and go to college, then go to the Army when I graduate.
Kayden Pinson 11th grade, Artesia High School Artesia in Eddy County Central Valley Electric Cooperative
I have mostly been working. I work at Walmart as an Online Grocery Associate. I plan to attend Texas Tech University so that I can attend med school and become an anesthesiologist. I’ve been surrounded by people that have helped me all my life, so I feel the need to help others! Becoming an anesthesiologist is a great way to accomplish my goal!
Kimber Perkins 11th grade, Estancia High School Stanley in Santa Fe County Central New Mexico Electric Cooperative

Kirshawna Kristi Cohoe 11th grade, Quemado High School Pinehill in Cibola County Continental Divide Electric Cooperative
I have been enjoying the company of my baby nephew. My plan is to finish high school and to go to college in a community college and work my way up.
Koen Ethan Overberger 11th grade, Roy Municipal Schools A cattle ranch outside of Roy in Harding County Springer Electric Cooperative
Besides school, I spent a lot of time working on the ranch and branding for neighbors around the area. I also got to fish on a few occasions, which is my favorite hobby and now have started to learn how to fly fish. I’ve also been helping fight fires around the area as a volunteer firefighter. I sure have missed occasionally eating out at my favorite restaurants, and a haircut is past overdue. These small things that I have taken for granted are missed for sure now. I am not certain what enchantment.coop • August 2020 19
