Maddy Brown

Cornerstone Christian School

Where will you attend college?

Boise State University.

As a child, what was the rst thing you wanted to become when you grow up?

As a child, the rst thing that I wanted to be when I grew up was a dance teacher. My plans have changed since then, as I am studying criminal justice and psychology. I still have the same desire and drive to help people learn as I did when I was little.

Caroline Van Beek

Lynden Academy

What are your plans for the 2022-2023 school year? I don’t have an immediate choice for college, because for at least the next year I plan to continue in the workforce. I’m not sure if a four-year college is something I’m willing to spend tens of thousands of dollars on, and at least for now, I think that the experience (and money) that I’m gaining in the workforce is going to prove more valuable to me.

As a child, what was the rst thing you wanted to become when you grow up?

As a child, my career of choice was to be a teacher. In some ways, this hasn’t changed. But now, I look forward to hopefully homeschooling my own children. I also have always enjoyed writing and hope to someday publish ction.

What are your career plans?

Melissa Brossow

Lynden High School

Where will you attend college?

I will be attending college at Colorado Christian University in the Fall of 2022 to study Psychology.

As a child, what was the rst thing you wanted to become when you grow up? When I was a kid, I wanted to be a teacher! I was always someone who loved being around others, and a teacher was someone I always saw impacting so many people, including myself. Now, as I graduate, my career path has

What are your career plans?

After college, I want to pursue a career in juvenile criminal justice. I am unsure of exactly which route I will go, but I have a deep passion for juvenile justice.

What is the greatest thing you gained from your K-12 experience? What is the greatest thing you gained from attending your high school?

e greatest thing that I gained from a K-12 education at Cornerstone is a well-rounded education with a Christian worldview tied into it all.

I learned not only academics,

but gained a foundation for my future.

Who is your role model?

One of my biggest role models is my dad. He is a big part of the reason I chose the career path that I did. He switched careers from IT to law enforcement to do what he loves and it inspired me.

What do you hope to be doing in ve years? In 10 years? In 20 years? In ve years, I see myself graduating college and either pursuing a master’s degree or starting a career. In 10 years I

Tatyanna Sparks

Lynden Academy

Where will you be attending college?

I have committed to attending the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado as part of the class of 2026.

What did I want to be when I grew up?

When I was in elementary school, I wanted to be a teacher when I grew up. However, once I got to late middle school, I set my sights on being a pilot and I have pursued that career path ever since.

What are your career plans?

My career plan is to be an Air Force pilot and the plane I would like to y is a C-17. In late middle school, I joined Civil Air Patrol and got a taste for both the military and ying.

rough Civil Air Patrol, I received various scholarships that helped fund me to get my private pilot’s license. I then set my sights on getting into the Air Force Academy or into Air Force ROTC in college.

I plan to graduate from the Air Force Academy and secure a spot in Air Force

I would like to nd a career in writing, possibly as an author or editor, or, if I decide to go to college, in business or economics.

What is the greatest thing you gained from your K-12 experience? What is the greatest thing you gained from attending your high school?

From my high school experience, as much as I loved my teachers, the environment, and the friends I made, I have to say the greatest advantage I had was Running Start’s online schooling. I was able to simultaneously earn my high school diploma and associate degree. e exible schedule meant I was able to nd a job that I love, which not only pays much better than high school, but also saved me from social isolation after the government shut down the country for “two weeks.”

Who is your role model? As a Christian, I have to say that my role model is Jesus. Considering He is the author of life

changed, but my passion behind it hasn’t! I still love being with others and am so excited to be pursuing a career in mental health counseling.

What are your career plans?

I have always felt the most joy from helping others, whether that be having a conversation, sharing a smile, serving, or listening. Mental health counseling is a career that I truly feel called to that would allow me to intentionally love others in my profession that requires compassion, care, and empathy.

What is the most important thing in your life? e most important thing in my life is my faith. It motivates me in everything that I do in life, and encourages me through it.

Who is the most important person in your life? e most important people in my life are God and my family. Having a family surrounding me and supporting me is extremely important and encouraging.

pilot training. After pilot training, I intend to serve wherever the Air Force might need me.

What was the greatest thing you gained from my K-12 experience? What was the greatest thing you gained from attending Lynden Academy? e greatest thing I gained from my K-12 experience was a love of learning. My mom inspired my sister and me to pursue our studies and pushed us to do well, but in a way that made it fun.

As I go on to college, I take that love of learning with me which I feel will help me succeed. e greatest thing I gained from attending Lynden Academy was the friends I made. I met several amazing friends who I hope to keep in touch with throughout my lifetime.

Who is my role model?

One of my role models would be my friend Cassidy Ratayczak. She has been an invaluable mentor to me throughout my Civil Air Patrol career and has believed in me even when I didn’t believe in myself.

I deeply appreciate all the advice and support she has given me.

What do I hope to be doing in ve years? In 10 years? In 20 years?

In ve years, I hope to be graduating from Air Force pilot training and beginning my career as an Air Force pilot. I plan to still be in the Air Force ying planes in 10 to 20 years, however, I’m not sure exactly what I will be doing, since it will depend on the needs of the Air Force.

What is the most important thing in your life?

I think one of the most important things in my life would be my relationship with Jesus. is has provided me with plenty of hope, peace, and strength through all the di cult parts of my life.

Who is the most important person in your life?

I think the most important person in my life would be my mother. She has been by my side supporting me throughout my entire childhood. Since I was partially homeschooled for most of my childhood, she was not only my mother but also my teacher, yet she still managed to inspire me to love learning. I would have never made it to the places that I have made it to without her help.

the closest, most God-fearing friends, and where my own relationship with God has grown the most, is in the pro-life movement. I love being a part of the community that defends human life from conception, and want to keep nding ways to stop abortion and support mothers and their children.

you gained from attending your high school?

e greatest thing I gained from my years at Lynden schools was community. I am so blessed to have found so many people in unlikely places to call friends and family.

Who is your role model?

My role model would de nitely have to be Benedict Cumberbatch. I wish I had an accent like his.

What do you hope to be doing in ve years? In 10 years? In 20 years?

In ve years, I hope to be working toward a master’s degree in mental health counseling. In 10 and 20 years, I hope to be working in a job that is involves

What is the most important thing in your life?

Who is the most important person in your life?

e most important part of my life is my faith, and the most important person is Jesus. In my life, Jesus has proven Himself faithful to me time and time again and has shown me love, grace, and mercy that I do not deserve. I have been adopted into His family and lifted out of my brokenness. All my peace and worth are found in Him, He redeems my unredeemable. Philippians 3:8 says it

Since we’ve already covered Jesus as a role model, I also want to thank my dad for being the best person I know. As a Christian, he always searches for what God wants of him and his family and leads us in that way. He has patience, empathy, works hard, and encourages my siblings and I to do the same. He also makes ridiculous dad jokes and has the classic dad interests: shing, grilling, tractors, un nished projects, and country music. He and my mom have always worked to raise us in a loving, Christian household, and I can’t thank them enough for raising me properly.

Gerrit Bruland

Nooksack Valley High School

Where will you attend college? I am attending Washington State University in the fall.

As a child, what was the rst thing you wanted to become when you grow up? As a child I wanted to be an Air Tra c Controller and I have no clue why. However, as I grew up, I became more interested in engineering and technology.

What are your career plans?

For a career I want to be an electrical engineer or a di erent engineering discipline to pursue my passion for technology and engineering. I plan on interning for di erent companies in college to get multiple kinds of experience for what my future career may be like.

Kaytlin Vanderhorst

Mount Baker High

Where will you attend college?

I will be attending the University of Washington in the Honors Program to study Psychology and Neuroscience this fall.

As a child, what was the rst thing you wanted to become when you grew up?

When I was a child, there wasn’t any one thing I wanted to be when I grew up. Hannah Montana and Taylor Swift were my biggest idols, so I was xated on the idea of being a popstar. I was given a guitar and songbook at the peak of my popstar aspirations, but that dream left quickly when I learned that I couldn’t sing or play guitar very well. I also remember wanting to be a veterinarian for a bit, but I honestly think that was only because I thought it consisted of petting animals all day. It wasn’t until eighth grade that I became passionate about pursuing psychology, and that passion hasn’t changed since then.

What are your career plans?

Becoming a clinical psychologist for adolescents is the most feasible and planned out career path I have at the moment.

Psychology fascinates me- speci cally clinical psychology in adolescents- because there’s an inconsistency with prioritizing mental health and understanding it during this time of cognitive growth inspires me to nd solutions. Eventually, I hope to balance a career of independent work/research and counseling to tend to settings that require diligent analysis and social sympathy.

I imagine myself working with clients to prevent mental health issues and pursuing research projects out of passion and curiosity throughout my career.

I want my existence to enhance the world in whatever ways possible, and helping oth-

Judah Bouma

Lynden Christian High School

Where will you attend college?

Next year I will be attending Washington State University and I am in their honors program.

As a child, what was the rst thing you wanted to become when you grow up?

As a young child I initially wanted to be a teacher, following in the footsteps of both my parents, but realized in middle school that this wasn’t the path for me. I always excelled at math and science growing up and so I leaned toward using this in my future.

What are your career plans?

Currently I am planning on getting my biochemistry major studying pre-med at WSU. I’m not completely sure on my career goals yet. I am studying pre-med in college so medical school could be an option. I would also be open into going into other STEM professions as well.

What is the greatest thing you gained from your K-12 experience? What is the greatest thing you gained from attending your high school?

is what matters most.  e greatest thing I gained from my high school was self-advocacy. As a freshman, I was afraid of asking for help or standing up for myself because I felt like if I needed to, it meant I wasn’t good, strong, or smart enough to get through it on my own. I associated success with an illusion of independence that was really just insecurity. As I wrap up high school, I can proudly say this mentality has completely changed. I know if I don’t get support when I need it, things will just be harder, which is an avoidable and unnecessary stress.

Help tells those around me that I care and want to understand better. Now, I seek out support rather than deny myself of it.

Who is your role model?

e greatest thing I gained from my K-12 experience was the relationships I formed in school, as well as my education. I’ve attended two high schools, and from both the greatest trait that I’ve gotten from them is determination.

Who is your role model?

John Green. (According to Wikipedia, John Green is an American author, YouTube content creator, and podcaster) He also does crash course history.

What do you hope to be doing in ve years? In 10 years? In 20 years?

In ve years, I’m hoping to be in some sort of graduate school. In 10-20 years I would want to ideally have a family and a job that is both challenging and ful lling.

What is the most important thing in your life?

e most important thing in my life is probably the relationships I have with the people in my life.

Who is the most important person in your life? e most important/in uential person in my life is my friend Jackson. is is because of the in uence he has had on the way I think as well as the advice he gives me.

aim is to have a solid foundation on life – career, house, and wealth-wise – and be able to ground and love myself.

Twenty years is an unfathomable distance away. I’ll be 38 years old, hopefully have started a family after exhausting my youth, and will be prioritizing the wellbeing of myself and those around me. I just hope by then that I am content with my life.

What is the most important thing in your life?

ers live their best lives is one way of doing that.

What is the greatest thing you gained from your K-12 experience, and from attending your high school? e greatest thing I gained from my K-12 experience was rede ning friendship and coming to terms with saying goodbye to past relationships. I always struggled with tting in throughout elementary school and junior high because, while I had good friends, I knew they had better friends. Nonetheless, I con ded in those friendships and they meant a lot to me, which is why when I was able to let them go in high school, I discovered closure for the rst time. I learned how to say goodbye to eras of friendships and stop clinging onto what once was. I changed the way I perceived people and, in turn, I now have real, evergreen, beautiful best friends who are what I need now. I know that I might have to say goodbye to them too someday, but they are here for now and that awareness

Where will you attend college? e University of Washington.

As a child, what was the rst thing you wanted to become when you grow up? When I was younger, I always wanted to be a scientist, and while that answer has changed and been narrowed down, my love for science, especially as it relates to the environment, has still in uenced what I want to do in life.

Emma Ramerman

Lynden High School

Where will you attend college?

I plan on attending college at Arizona Christian University. I will be majoring in business administration and playing softball.

As a child, what was the rst thing you wanted to become when you grow up?

When I was younger I wanted to be a hairstylist when I grew up. I found that being a hairstylist really didn’t interest me anymore. Now, I have decided to go into business.

I gured this was a broad career path because I am still unsure what career I want to pursue.

What are your career plans?

I am not sure what I want to do as a career. As I said, I thought business would be a broad area of study. I thought this would give me a greater variety of job opportunities once I nish my degree. I plan to get both a bachelor’s and master’s degree in business. Whatcom Community College gave me a head start through this process.

At WCC I was able to obtain my associate degree. I came to the decision of business because I enjoy math and wanted to apply it to real life.

What is the greatest thing you gained from your K-12 experience?

What is the greatest thing you gained from attending your high school? e greatest thing I gained from my K-12 experience is that you have to work hard to achieve the results you want. Just going to school isn’t enough to succeed in school.

My role model is a teacher who has supported and inspired me since seventh grade. Mr. Dickman has juggled many roles at Baker, and though I only had him as my math teacher in junior high, he has mentored me in so many ways these past six years. Had it not been for his encouragement in me switching to advanced math in eighth grade, I cannot guarantee that I would’ve been on the track that I am now, because I hadn’t been explicitly told “I know you can do this even though it’ll be hard” before (besides from my parents). Mr. Dickman’s wisdom, diligence, realistic optimism, and support have undeniably in uenced who I have become, and I am forever grateful for that.

What do you hope to be doing in 5 years?

In 10 years? In 20 years?

In ve years, I’ll have obtained my bachelor’s degree and, honestly, I hope I’ll be able to pursue even further education. My dream is to earn a doctorate someday, but there’s so much unpredictability in life, so I also hope by then that I will be okay with readjusting my goals as is appropriate. In ten years, my

What are your career plans?

I plan to be an environmental engineer because I’ve always been concerned about the environment, and I want to make an e ort to build a sustainable future.

What is the greatest thing you gained from your K-12 experience? What is the greatest thing you gained from attending your high school? roughout my education, I learned the importance of asking for help when I didn’t understand something. In attending Lynden High School, I was able to gain a stronger sense of community and

e most important thing in my life is ensuring I communicate, interact, and exist with kindness at the forefront of everything I do. It’s a challenge day by day because unexpected things happen and reacting to them with a positive approach takes intention and awareness, but I know how impactful just being nice can be. You never know what someone is going through, and I think that if you can be one good part of someone’s day then you’ve made a di erence because it might just make them smile or it might be the one reason they needed to stay alive.

Who is the most important person in your life, and why?

e most important person in my life is my mother. My mom is my very best friend in the whole entire world.

She does whatever she can to make other people happy, loves the things she loves unwaveringly, and carries herself strongly.

She has been a victim to my merciless and irrational anxiety, present at my happiest and pivotal moments, and a consistent support throughout everything in between.

Amidst it all, her reassurance of love, pride, and care, and especially her communication that the perfection I strive for is never an expectation and that she loves me no matter what- is all I could ever want.

I wouldn’t be who I am or know who I want to be without her.

teamwork through my participation in cross country, track, and the National Honor Society.

Who is your role model?

My mother read the story of Malala Yousufzai to me when I was a child, and I was very inspired by her bravery and willingness to speak out.

What do you hope to be doing in ve years? In 10 years? In 20 years?

In ve years, I hope to have gotten my undergraduate degree in environmental engineering and be pursuing my master’s. In 10 years, I hope to be working as an environmental engineer and contributing to

Who is your role model? My greatest role model is my pitching coach, Tanna Heutink. I have known Tanna for quite a while just from being in the Washington Wolfpak softball program. Even then she was someone I looked up to because she was going to play softball in college and that was my goal.

my eld of research.

In 20 years, I hope to be making a di erence in the realm of environmental engineering through innovative and sustainable technology.

What is the most important thing in your life?

My faith is the most important facet of my life, as it provides me with peace and inspiration.

Who is the most important person in your life?

My mother is the most important person in my life because she has stood by me and supported me no matter the circumstances.

in ve years, 10 years, or even 20 years. So far all I know is I want to graduate college and get a good job.

I would also like to do something softball related aside from my job either as a pitching coach or just help out with a youth program. I’m going to get through college and then see where God leads me for the rest of my life.

What is the most important thing in your life?

By succeeding I do not mean having A’s in your classes, it is about understanding concepts even if it takes extra work. e greatest thing I learned attending high school is that you can only control your own attitude and e ort.

Worrying about others doesn’t help and you cannot control what they do.

However, your own mindset and e ort are two things you can control that will help lead to success in all areas of life, not just school.

A few years ago, Tanna became my pitching coach. She has a great work ethic and pushes me to always be better. She carries this work ethic in her life even after her career at Lin eld University. Her work ethic and attitude towards life is what I look up to.

What do you hope to be doing in ve years? In 10 years? In 20 years?

Honestly, I don’t know what I want to do

e most important thing in my life is softball. I have played softball for as long as I remember. I have made so many lifelong friendships and have learned many life lessons. I would not be the same person without softball and my teammates. Softball has also brought me many opportunities for scholarships and traveling.

Who is the most important person in your life?

e most important people in my life are my parents. ey have always supported me in school and softball.

My dad is always there to catch me or throw a bucket of balls for me.

My mom is always trying to get me to do my best no matter what I am doing. ey are both always available if I need help, and they have always supported me.

Skyleigh James

Meridian High School

Where will you attend college? I will be attending West Texas A&M University in Canyon, Texas.

As a child, what was the rst thing you wanted to become when you grew up? As a child I wanted to be a cowgirl. In some ways this has changed, because I didn’t really see teaching as being a part of that. Although I still do dream of owning land and livestock of my own one day. Overall my childhood dream of wanting to be a cowgirl still lives inside me, I just see it in a di erent way now.

What are your career plans?

I plan to be a high school agriculture teacher. erefore, I will be pursuing an agriculture education degree with a teacher’s certi cation. I have discovered that agriculture is something I’m very passionate about through being a part of FFA, taking agriculture classes, jobs I’ve had, showing and raising animals, and many other experiences. I also feel like teaching high schoolers is something I have potential to be good at and would enjoy.

What is the greatest thing you gained from your K-12 experience? What is the greatest thing you gained from attending your high school?

Some of the greatest things I have gained from my overall educational experience are the tools I need to navigate my future. I have learned how to problem solve and I am way more con dent in my ability to overcome challenges.

One of the greatest things I have gained from attending high school is con dence. As a freshman, I was scared and didn’t believe in myself. I have come a long way since then, and I know I would not have gotten to this point

without all the wonderful support from this community I have received. High school sports have made a huge impact on my con dence and overall work ethic. I’m very grateful for how far I’ve come and what I have gained from Meridian because I know it will in uence me for the rest of my life.

Who is your role model?

One of the biggest role models in my life is my basketball coach, Bree Park. She’s such a great leader and has so much passion about what she does. I am very thankful that I had the opportunity to have her as a coach. She will forever be someone I look up to.

What do you hope to be doing in ve years?

In 10 years? In 20 years?

In ve years, I hope to be graduating college and receiving my bachelor’s degree in agriculture education. In ten years, I hope to be working as a high school agriculture teacher and maybe getting married. It would also be great to be living in a place I love at this point in my life. In twenty years, I would like to own a house and be a mother with a family of my own.

What is the most important thing in your life?

One of the most important things in my life is my friends. Friends have always been a huge part of my life. I love having people that welcome me, are there for me even through the tough times, and bring so much joy to my life. Without them my life would be boring, so I am very grateful.

Who is the most important person in your life?

ere’s so many important people in my life, so it’s hard to narrow it down to just one, but if I have to pick I’d go with my mom. She’s always there for me when I need her and she does so much for me. I am so proud to call her my mother. I aspire to be as kind and sel ess as her one day.

Ellie DeWaard

Meridian High School

Where will you attend college?

I am attending Northwest University to pursue a major in exercise science, and to play basketball.

As a child, what was the rst thing you wanted to become when you grew up? When I was younger I wanted to become a police o cer or a chef. rough the years I realized that I really only like cooking for myself, and becoming a police ocer became my second choice behind physical therapy.

What are your career plans?

I now plan on becoming a physical therapist! I really looked to my interests such as sports, nutrition, and working out to fuel my career choice. Physical therapy seemed like the perfect mix of action, one on one time with people, and chill work time for me. at is why I chose physical therapy.

What is the greatest thing you gained from your K-12 experience, and from attending your high school?

e greatest thing I gained from my k-12 experience is self-condence. I was homeschooled up until my freshman year, so coming in as a new student my freshman year I was really anxious about new people and tting in. Looking back now, I realize that I am nothing like the girl I came into school as my freshman year. I am way more con dent in who I am, and have much more con dence in my abilities and self. at Is one of the greatest things I gained from my public school experience.

One thing I gained from Meridian speci cally, is lifelong relationships. Meridian High School is such a close community, and everyone is so connected. I am so grateful I was able to go to such a close, caring

Senior Spotlights: DeWaard

Continued from C4 school for four years.

Who is your role model – and why? My greatest role models (because I couldn’t just pick one of them) are my parents. My mom is always there for me whether it is just to listen or if it is to give ad-

vice, and that is something I really admire. She is a very genuine and loving person, and I strive to be like that also. I really admire my dad because he is the most generous hardworking person I know. He works so hard to provide for my family, and is so generous to others on top of that.

What do you hope to be doing

in ve years? In 10 years? In 20 years?

In ve years I hope to be in my rst year of physical therapy school! In 10 years I plan to be working as a physical therapist, hopefully with a family and a dog. In 20 years, I just hope that I am happy and living a life I love. It’s pretty hard to predict the future, and I’m just trying to enjoy every

day like it could be my last.

What is the most important thing in your life, and why?

e most important thing in my life is the relationships that I have made. Without relationships with other people, life is meaningless.

Who is the most important

person in your life, and why?

It is impossible for me to pick one person as the most important person in my life. ere are so many people that have loved on me and helped me through things that I can’t just pick one person. My family is de nitely the most important people to me, they are always there for me and never fail to put a smile on my face.

Senior Spotlights: Bruland

Continued from C3 out to you and to get things done you have to put in e ort and time. e greatest thing I gained from Nooksack Valley is a great group of friends that will all lead successful lives of their own.

Who is your role model – and why?

My greatest role model is my grandpa Paul Naber, who served the people of

Lynden and Sumas for almost 11 years as a pharmacist. Before that he set up a multitude of pharmacies across the Puget Sound. He always is on top of his research and always insist the best care for individuals in any part of life. Not to mention his need to get to know everyone. His dedication is truly admirable.

What do you hope to be doing in 5 years? In 10 years? In 20 years?

In 5, 10, 20 years I plan to have my career sorted out with a good wage to provide for a family, a dog, a house with some land, and many hobbies.

What is the most important thing in your life, and why?

e most important things in my life are my dog Dexter, the gym, and work. ese things keep me company and a provide place to get away from people when I need

a break or something to do.

Who is the most important person in your life, and why? ere have been so many people that have had a positive impact on my life that I cannot choose one most important person. My friends, family, and teammates have always been supportive and there for when I need them.
