Meet nine exceptional graduating seniors and follow along as they prepare for their next chapters in life. Hear from a new student each week through May 20.
"I love Omaha Public Schools. I think it's very diverse. I love diversity. I love my culture, and I love different cultures as well."
"Feeling so voiceless at a young age, and the fact that my parents had to run from war in order to find peace, people listening to me gives me a very good passion. I made it, I'm here."
"Running a student section, running a large group of people, talking in front of a crowd, taking hard classes, challenging myself, learning from real people—it really just put real life, the real world, in front of me in high school."
"I love being able to help those younger kids, my fellow peers. I'm just a regular kid who likes to advocate for a lot of stuff and who likes to be involved."
"I had to figure out exactly it is I want to do my hardest on. As the years went by, I found a passion in being in JROTC and being involved in our Raiders team."
"Being there to lead people has been something I feel like I've been called to do."
