Choir, Wapetonics, drama, and student council have kept Olivia Hoffman busy the last four years at Wapello High School. A lesson she has learned and wants to pass along to the underclassmen is to “Please, Please, Please don't wait until the last minute to do homework, it will bite you in the [you know what] if you wait.”
Olivia says that Mr. Murray has had the biggest impact on her education. She says, “When he would talk in class he didn't sugar coat anything, I really appreciated that because that meant he saw us as young adults and not children. But also because he gave me the ability to 50 words per minute with his very long and gruesome slideshows.”
Olivia is the daughter of Jerred Hoffman & Laresa Carpenter. After graduation, she plans to explore her options in the workforce to find something she is passionate about and pursue her education after she finds it.
Best wishes, Olivia!
Favorite teacher? Senior Ashlyn McKenzie says, “Every single teacher of mine has taught me valuable life lessons that I am beyond thankful for. If I did not have any of my teachers I would probably have even less common sense.”
Ashlyn is the daughter of Scott McKenzie and Alicia White. Throughout her high school career, Ashlyn has been a member of the football, softball, cross-country, basketball, and track teams. She is also a member of the choir (Wapetonics), student council, and FFA.
Her advice for underclassmen is “School is difficult but being positive helps you focus on what is important for you and your future as well as keep you in a good mood.”
After graduation, Ashlyn plans to enlist in the Marine Corps. She also plans to attend and join the track team at Southeastern Community College for two years. Ultimately, she plans to attend Iowa State University or Colorado State University.
Best of luck, Ashlyn!
Cameron Hake is the son of Bill and Jessica Hake. Throughout high school, Cameron has been a member of the football and track teams.
Cameron says Ms. Eakins has made an impact on his life because she always helped him with homework. He also advises the underclassmen to pass their classes the first time; it makes things easier!
After high school, he plans to attend Southeastern Community College to run track and begin his education to become a DNR officer.
Good Luck, Cameron!
