Evan Jenkins is today's senior spotlight. When we asked how she feels about her senior year ending this way, she said, " I never imagine this happening to me. It’s hurtful, it's really a big disappointment! I can’t believe I’m not celebrating prom nor experiencing walking the stage, or saying goodbye, see you later, to my classmates. It’s all crazy, heartbreaking when you look forward to things that you wished happened forever. But I most definitely can say I am, did, and going to graduate despite what others may say." Evan's response to who she is most grateful for, " I am so thankful, for my son Ace Chan DaMan. If it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t be were I was today and going hard as I do. I really do appreciate him weather he know it or not, not only cause he's mine, but because he motivates me, we can enjoy the small pleasures of life, humor, the beauty and life in nature. I love and I’m thankful his little touches, kisses, and hugs the most, it’s like everything better. He was the ability to change by life with one good decision."
Congratulations Evan!

Attention AP Students:

Emily Atteberry is the daughter of Angie and David Atteberry. After high school she plans to attend ANC for 2 years for general studies and find a career path while working part time and then transfer to complete her degree. Emily's thoughts about her senior year ending this way, "I’m very upset by how my senior year ended. Me and my classmates have missed several events that we have waited so long for. Even though I wasn’t a student at Armorel my whole life, my most important years were spent there. I never would’ve except something like this to happen, especially this fast. I have much love for the Class of 2020." When asked who her hero is and why, she said, "I would say my grandmother Jean Atteberry is my hero. She is my best friend, she has taught me everything I know. She’s been with me through everything in life and always gives the best advice. She’s the most kind hearted and strongest women know. I hope to grow to be at least half of the woman she is."
Congratulations Emily!
Jaelyn Ray is the daughter of Wendy and Chris Ray. After high school she plans to go to ANC for 2 years to get her basics and then she will transfer to ASU to get her bachelor's degree so that she can teach high school theatre. When asked how she feels about her senior year ending this way she said, "Honestly, high school had its ups and downs, but if I had the chance to do it all over again just to have a normal senior year I would. All of my life I have seen people in their cap and gown and I always thought "wow, I can't wait for that to be me." Well, now it is my turn, but it's not how I expected it to be. We don't get a proper last day, we don't get a senior luncheon, we don't even get a completer's luncheon. All of these events that we were looking forward to were taken away from us. We all had our last day and didn't even realize it. I don't really remember what I did on my last day, or if I was even there, and that's what's really sad about all of this. We didn't get to go all out like we did for our first day. Our first day, we had confetti cannons, went into the hallway right before the bell rang, and then when everyone walked out, we shot the confetti cannons and started yelling and laughing, it was great. All we did for our last day was walk out of the doors just like we did every other day, because we had no idea that it was all over. I just hope that no other senior class ever has to go through this, and that after this year every other senior class will know not to take anything for granted." Jaelyn's advice for incoming freshmen, "Enjoy high school, don't complain about it being hard. Don't drop a class because it's a little harder than you thought, don't skip just because you feel like it and remember to treat your teachers right, you might not know it, but they love you. These are the best and worst four years of your life, cherish them, and make memories."
Congratulations Jaelyn!

Kaitlyn Walters is the daughter of Stephanie and Brian Walters. After high school she plans to attend ANC to obtain an Associates of Science in Business and later transfer to earn a bachelor's degree. Kaitlyn's feelings about her senior year ending this way, "I hate that the “perfect” end to my senior year that I have long been anticipating has been stolen from me and my fellow classmates due to the virus. There were many crucial once in a lifetime moments that I will never have the opportunity to experience again. The class of 2020 share the same feelings and the majority of us are at a loss for words. All we can think about is what should have happened and what we regret not doing when we had the chance. However, rather than dwelling on what could have happened I am excited for what lies ahead of me and I am trying to look at things in a positive way. Life moves on and all that I can do in this moment is prepare for my future. I thank all the teachers and family I have supporting me during this difficult time." Kaitlyn's advice for incoming freshmen, " do not miss out on a single opportunity. Try out for every sport you want to play and take every class you wish to take. Don’t promise yourself you will do something later in life, do it now. Go to every school event and be as involved as possible. You will make the most unforgettable memories by doing so. Take an abundance of photos with people you know and of everywhere you go. You will thank yourself later. Don’t be afraid to stand out dress however and do what truly makes you happy. Be different, drastic, and creative but most of all do not fear failure because it's good to know that you tried when you had the chance than to have regrets."
Congratulations Kaitlyn!
