do in the future, however. Anderson said, \u201cI want to be a missionary overseas.\u201d and Relos said, \u201cI plan to enlist in the military, I have not decided on which branch yet.\u201d Relos also said, \u201cI plan on attending college at some point, either it be after High School or during\/after the military.\u201d Sophomore Kaila Himes also has a concrete plan for her future and wants to \u201cgo to college and become a Vet or Doctor.\u201d Having less knowledge of her future plans, Sophomore Ivy Johnson said, \u201cAs of right now, I\u2019m not sure. [I] should figure it out.\u201d College wise, students have began to select schools they would like to attend after graduating high school. Sophomore Chris Giles said, \u201cI do plan to finish a two year degree with the credits I get my Junior and Senior year, I am going to finish it online in the Army.\u201d<\/p>\n
Some students feel they are better prepared for the future than others. Junior Sophia Smith said, \u201cI have mixed feels. I feel like intellectually I am ready but there are some essential life skills that schools neglect to teach such as balancing a checkbook and how to work a mortgage\/loan.\u201d Contrary to Smith\u2019s perspective, Freshman Callie Burch said, \u201cNo, I still have a lot of work to do to be a good leader, and prepared for the future.\u201d Sophomore Kaila Himes gave her positive outlook on her readiness for the future by saying, \u201cI believe that I can do anything as long as I set my mind to it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Various amounts of time will be necessary in order for students to prepare for select future plans. Sophomore Elizabeth Wickens said in order to better prepare for the future she could \u201ctake more business classes that could teach me how to run the finances for a self employed business.\u201d Similar to Wickens\u2019 future preparation plans, Smith also plans to better prepare herself through school work. Smith said, \u201cI could work a little harder in Spanish III. I know that I\u2019m not going to come out completely fluent but I want a basic understanding of the language.\u201d<\/p>\n
Students have a variety of plans for the future, however, after they finish schooling. Smith said, \u201cSomeday I want to be able to work at St. Luke\u2019s Hospital in St. Louis and maybe go back to school later in life.\u201d Anderson presented her future plans by saying, \u201cTell as many people as I can about Christ!\u201d Junior Keaton Espich said some things he wants to accomplish in the future are \u201cbe a good husband and have enough money to be happy later in life.\u201d<\/p>\n
Though students are beginning to imagine themselves in the future, there are requirements needed to become the professionals they desire. Sophomore Breanna Gilmore said, \u201cI will need to take a lot of Science classes so I can be a vet.\u201d Similar to Gilmore\u2019s necessities, Sophomore Danial Osborn said one educational requirement he will need to meet in order to better prepare for the future is getting \u201cgreat grades.\u201d Also giving her academic perspective, Sophomore Shania Northern said, \u201cI at least need to keep an A\/B average and to stay in Softball.\u201d<\/p>\n
