Seniors - Where does the time go?

     Seniors at Chadron High School have recently finished the first quarter of their last year. High school has gone by quickly for most of the students.
     Students like Greg McCallum echo this. McCallum, who plans to join the military after graduation said, "I'm dreading the day I have to grow up for real." 
     Most people would think that these students are nervous to become adults, but Josh Redfern, who wishes to attend college through joining the military, said that he will be fine as long as he can leave Chadron. Harlee Byrd, who plans to attend Chadron State College with a major in psychology, feels that she is prepared because of the knowledge she has gained through her parents and schooling. 
     Seniors are now learning how Chadron High has prepared them through career based classes and teachers who go beyond the regular lessons to give personal advice. One student in particular, Emmy Mills said, "I'm glad I went to a good school that boosted me to be a better person and set goals." However, she is not sure where she would like to attend college or what career path she would enjoy. 
     At Chadron High School, seniors have a range of challenging and simple classes. Depending on what path they choose, they can have a stressful or laid back year. Senior Seth Sloan is set on pursuing business and music at the University of Nebraska in Kearney and is happy to take hard classes that will prepare him for his future. 
     There are benefits to the the senior life, however. A student who plans to attend Chadron State College, Matyas Bellu said that he feels "cooler" and more respected as a senior. Hannah Jamison, enjoys getting out of class early, but would argue that underclassmen are disrespectful to senior authorities. Jamison wishes to pursue a career in dental hygiene through Chadron or Kearney. 
     All together these seniors are cherishing their last few quarters at Chadron High School. Most would agree that the time has flown by, and they can remember their first quarter as a freshman like it was yesterday.
