OWEN,
Specifically, Freeman said she wanted to thank Mrs. Nelson from Sonoraville High School, where she attended classes for part of her high school career, for teaching her everything she knows about music and for helping her learn that if she pushes herself she can achieve anything.
“From Gordon Central I want to thank Mrs. Dobson, Mrs. Sullivan, and Mr. Skiffen. Mrs. Dobson was my art teacher that inspired me to keep painting and doing things I love even when it gets hard. Mrs. Sullivan taught me that there is room for love in everyone and room to love everyone, and Mr. Skiffen was my volleyball coach and he showed me how important it is to let the small things roll off my back and to not let people get under my skin,” she said. “I am so very thankful or all of these mentors that I was able to have during my high school years.
Outside of theater, she was a member of HOSA, a club for future health professionals, Sources of Strength and the varsity volleyball team. She was also involved at Sonoraville Baptist Church, where she assisted with ministries around the holidays. Freeman hopes to continue volleyball and participate in musicals in college.
To next year’s seniors, Freeman offered up one piece of advice: “I would tell them to love yourself and the friends that you know are true friends.”
“Don’t second guess yourself if you are not happy and be brave. High school is hard and its hard to find your own voice while being surrounded by so many other people trying to find their own voice too,” Freeman said. “Do what you love and don’t let any one tell you other wise. Be kind and caring and make the most of the time that you have. Enjoy your senior year. Work hard and do your best but don’t make the whole year about your grades. Have fun while it lasts.”
