She’s genuinely a nice person and super understanding with every student there." As for advice to underclassmen, Charli says "Don’t have that many missing assignments, try to turn everything in on time. I procrastinated a lot and always stressed about getting them turned in.

During her tenure at Wapello she has been active in Band for two years, Choir for three, and Speech and Drama for four years. Tess's future plans are to pursue a Real Estate and Financial degree from the University of Northern Iowa. She says the teacher who has influenced her the most is Ms. Bostian. This is because "I always wanted to do plays and musicals. Having that opportunity available to me at Wapello made me extremely happy. Bostian also introduced me to many different shows and music, she also showed me the world of speech. Doing speech got me completely out of my comfort zone. I made many friends from different places at competitions as well." Her advice to underclassmen is "..don't get yourself overwhelmed. The only time I ever truly had trouble in school would be when I would get myself too overwhelmed and worked up. Try and talk to someone to help manage all your stress." Good luck Tess in your future after graduation.

She is always willing to help me with whatever I am struggling with, no matter what it is. She has always been there for me." Her advice to underclassmen is "try your best and always respect your teachers." Congratulations and best wishes to Toni on her upcoming graduation.

She helped me get all my work done and kept me focused on my end goals. Danielle wanted the best for me, and helped me towards my success." Erin's advice to underclassmen is "high school goes by fast, so don’t wish it away. Stay focused, but make as many memories as you can." Congratulations and best wishes to Erin on her impending graduation.
