Senior Spotlight!! Emma Stricklin
Favorite memory from high school: My favorite memory would have to be listening to Sophia Shelton's "Dear Lordy Jesus" prayers before every softball game, and riding electronic animals up and down the mall with Sophia, Christian, AJ, and Wyatt.
Plans after high school: I plan to continue my education out this fall at SIU in the PTA program! I am so excited to become a future Saluki while going to school for my dream job. After SIU, I plan to enroll in a hybrid program to get my doctorate degree to become a physical therapist, and enjoy life!
Advice for future seniors: My advice for future seniors is to chase your dreams. Anything is possible if you put your mind to it, Matthew 19:26! Best wishes to all you future seniors!
