Class Valedictorians and “Highest Honors” students of the high schools in Marion County were asked the questions: 1. What do you plan to be doing this summer and fall after you graduate? If you are planning on attending college, do you have a major picked out? 2. Look 10 years down the road—where would you like to be? What would you like to be doing? 3. What is the best “life lesson” or advice you have gotten in high school that you are going to take with you to use in the future. Here are the responses received.

1. I’ll be working as a lifeguard for the summer and in the fall I will be attending Kansas State University for interior architecture and product design.

2. I hope to graduate, and get a good job in the city. I would like to be designing spaces and I love to travel, so who knows just where I’ll be living.

3. Always work hard and be good to everyone around you, even if it’s hard.
