What’s Next? Seniors think about the future
March 5, 2021
What does the future hold for our senior graduates?
High school graduation is just a few months away. For some, the next steps after high school hold mystery and uncertainty, but for others, tech school, the military, and college await.
Nate Gravagno says he’s excited to go to college and have a change of scenery from going to Englewood schools his whole life, “I hope to enjoy my summer and then move to the campus of the college I want to go to so that I can focus on football.”
Senior Gilly Otter feels great about leaving high school and moving onto her future, “I’ll miss living in Colorado but I’m excited to leave and go somewhere new. I’m really excited about going to college. I literally can’t wait. I plan to go to the University of Utah in Salt Lake City. I just got accepted to their pre-med program and I plan on going into the medical field to become a surgeon.”
As for Rachel Reyes, she says it’s kind of scary to be an adult and be more independent to go on to college. She is excited because she loves to experience new things and meet new people, “I plan on going to University of Denver to study computer science, so I will be pretty close to home still.”
Felipe Gomez is nervous because college is like going to a new school and it’s nerve-racking meeting new people all over again. “Even if it’s like a couple of miles away, I’ll still feel far from home.”
