While most seniors are thinking about Christmas break, three seniors are busy preparing themselves for graduation. Taylor Gregson, Cheyenne Klos and Jamie Van Dee have accumulated all of the required 52 credits to complete high school early at the end of first semester.
Graduating a full semester early opens up a lot of opportunities for these students, including moving away and starting a new chapter in their lives before anyone else.
Gregson will be moving to Iowa City to attend Kirkwood Community College. She is planning to get her business administration degree there.
Klos will be moving back to New London in order to take care of her grandmother, work as a CNA and become an obedience trainer for police and search & rescue dogs.
Van Dee was planning on attending Kirkwood for the spring accounting program, but then decided to get a full-time job and work until the fall semester starts.
All three girls are excited to move on with their lives. While each had a different piece of advice for the Class of 2012, the general message was the same. “Don’t procrastinate, plan ahead because the future is just one step ahead of us!”
These seniors will come back in May to walk with the rest of their class for the official graduation ceremony. Until then, they will be working, continuing their education and living life to the fullest.
