During high school, a student is labeled with one of four titles, Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, or Senior, ranking from least to most educated. Along with the developing education, the mindset of many aspiring students are dourly changing. However, in the midst of the confusion and change, some seniors have a hope that gives them strength for every decision.
High School seniors Audrey Larsen and Nathan Holmer have agreed to share a little insight into their daily struggles and securities, and encouragement to high school newbies. The interview began with the search for the root of their hope. Both Audrey and Nathan gave similar answers in that their hope is found the love and omniscience of God. Nathan also pointed out that he “finds hope in the fact that I will never know what the right career path is for me unless I grasp my goals and fulfill them, even if I am unsure of them at first.”
It is easy for High School students to lose focus and get distracted by less important things. It is especially easy to get side tracked if the student is not interested in the current topic subjects. Despite current interest level and self-motivation, “...if you (a student) have a good attitude and try your best, you can actually learn a ton of awesome information!”
To finish off the interview, a wrap up question was asked, “What encouraging thing would you say to a freshman who already wants to ‘throw in the towel.’” Nathan Holmer replied, “Obviously, don’t give up now. You still have a heck of a ride ahead of you and perseverance will be your best friend.” He continued to state that these years of High School are pivotal in the development of a student’s future life. “Hang in there… don’t forget to make good relationships too and have fun.” (Audrey Larsen)
