Senior Superlatives 2006: WCHS students recognize year?s senior standouts
|
One of the biggest traditions, along with Homecoming, Senior Night and senior lay-out day is the choosing of senior superlatives. Classmates nominating their favorites and casting their votes for their choice is a highlight of the year.
Jesse Garrison is voted Most Studious and is also salutatorian of the 2006 class. The highly-motivated young man has undoubtedly worked hard to achieve his success, but modestly, shies away from praise.
?I worked hard my junior year to keep my grades up, it was definitely the hardest year,? said Garrison. ?I feel honored to be chosen by my peers.?
His future plans include attending David Lipscomb University to major in engineering. He hopes to be involved in foreign ministry work after college.
Most Likely to Succeed, Blake Hitchcock, is very deserving of the recognition, since he has already started his own computer repair business. He also designs websites and works for the school in the computer department.
Most Talented student Merranda Holmes has dedicated much of her time to the Warren County High School Band. She is a member of both the marching band and the concert band. She is vice-president of both the National Honor Society and her senior class.
Aaron Kiefer?s favorite quote is from Mark Twain, ?Don?t walk around thinking that the world owes you a living, because it doesn?t. The world was here first.? The quote has a specific meaning for the senior voted Most Courteous ? some people think the world revolves around them, and it doesn?t.
When asked about being courteous, Aaron said, ?I guess my dad taught me about manners and being courteous. He told me important things to remember when going out on dates, and I guess it rubbed off on my day to day life at school.?
Sports have played a huge part in the high school life of Most Athletic Adam Wood.
?My mom has definitely influenced me in the area of sports, her being a former basketball player and coach. Both my parents have encouraged me to play all sports,? said Adam.
His favorite quote is from athlete Michael Jordan, ?Impossible is nothing.? To Adam it means that you can do anything you set your mind to.
All the students recognized as Senior Superlatives are obviously well liked by their classmates, but they are also highly-motivated, focused young adults with their eyes on the future.
