uSome postpone college, others compelled to transition to higher educationBy Times Editorial [email protected]; 810-433-6786 As they transition into college life and the adult world, some of our local high school graduates open up to share their high school experiences as well as what their future plans hold.

KAITLYN OLDENBURGLinden grad “If I had a dollar for every time someone asked me about what I was doing after high school, I’d have a million dollars,” said Kaitlyn Oldenburg, 18, senior at Linden High School who’s enjoying her first day off. Instead of going to college right out of high school, Oldenburg is opt-ing for a more ad-venturous path. “ I s t a r t ed looking at col-leges and schol-arships and it just didn’t feel right. I started looking at mission trips. I did two in Haiti and I wanted something longer,” Oldenburg said. She came across The World Race, a nine-month mission trip traveling to Central America, Southeast Asia, and Africa. She’ll spend three months on each continent and will find out which countries that she and dozens others will visit. During those months, Oldenburg will be going to different homes, serving food, talking to people about God, playing with kids, and maybe teaching English in elementary school.

Local graduates ready for next adventure The trip costs around $12,000. Oldenburg has raised about $3,000 from support from family, friends and the community. “Family and friends have donated, the community has donated. I’m having a garage sale and all the funds are going toward the trip, along with the money from my open house,” Oldenburg said. Finishing high school was bittersweet, she said. “You leave all your friends behind and I’m literally leaving the country. It’s going to be a lot, doing the open house and graduating.” She was a flag girl in marching band. While in school, Olden-

burg went to Haiti twice on mission trips, once her sophomore year and again this past

spring break. “It was eye-opening seeing a

different culture besides Lin-den. Eye-opening and life-

changing,” Oldenburg said. After her nine-

month mission trip, Oldenburg plans on going to college to become a nurse.

CAITLIN WILEYFenton grad C a i t l i n Wiley’s atten-tion to academ-ics at Fenton High School has

paid off for her in a big way — with

a Gold Medallion Scholarship for her

next four years of edu-cation at Western Michi-

gan University. One of four Salutatorians,

Wiley is in good academic com-pany at FHS, with six Valedictorians

leading the Top 10. “We have a very strong class, both academically and athletically,” said

Wiley, the daughter of John and Diane Wiley of Fenton. She also has a sister, Erin, a sophomore at FHS.

GRADUATESContinued from Page 3 While Wiley emphasized academics, completing her high school career with a 3.996 grade point average, she allowed herself to expe-rience a full range of activi-ties — from drum major in the FHS Marching Band to National Honor Society president and captain of the Girls’ Ski Team. “I’ve tried to push myself with leader-ship activities,” she said. She also likes to have fun. Many times, she’ll be out with friends playing Alternate Frisbee, a cross between football and soccer. In the winter, you’ll find her skiing most weekends at Boyne Highlands, where her father is a member of the ski patrol. She also loves to travel, and plans to create a lifestyle for herself that will allow that for her in the future, putting China, Hong Kong, Germany and South America on her “bucket list.” Wiley plans to major in political science at WMU, and hopes to continue her education by attending law school. “I’m definitely interested in politics, but I’m leaving myself open for changing my mind once I get to college,” she said.

‘‘ ’’

While she looks to her future with optimism, Wiley prefers to experience the present as fully as possible, appreciating her family, friends and teachers who have taught her so much about life. “You only gradu-ate from high school once,” she said. “I plan to take it all in and enjoy it.”

CAMERON WALKERLake Fenton grad As salutatorian of his graduating class, Cameron Walker, 17, has to give a speech at graduation. He pondered whether the speech should be serious.

“This is going to be the last time I address my class,” Walker said. “I can’t be serious.” His class at Lake Fenton High School is small enough that he’ll know everyone he’s addressing. “I loved high school. You hear about the people who are like ‘I can’t wait to be done’ but I’ve always loved Lake Fenton,” Walker said. “It’s always felt like a family to me.” Walker’s mother, two of his uncles and one of his aunts also attended Lake Fenton. His favorite class was government, which fits what he’s going to college for — political science and pre-law. In fall of 2014, Walker will start his freshman year at Olivet Nazarene University in Bourbonnais, Illinois, major-ing in political science and double minoring in French and legal studies. “I’m just really looking forward to becoming more independent and learning stuff that’s important to me. If you’re going to do good, now’s the time,” Walker said, Walker plans to become a constitutional attorney or a criminal prosecutor after college, hopefully in Washington D.C. The decision to become a lawyer was easy. “A big thing for me when I knew I needed to become a law-yer, was watching my friend’s sister get sworn in to become an attorney,” Walker said. His driven nature helped him keep up his 3.992 GPA in high school. “I remember sitting up in my room at two in the morning, just staring at papers. I never got discouraged. School was my job. It never occurred to me to not study,” Walker said, a recipient of a scholarship from the Genesee County Association of School Board Members, “It was hard, but I was driven.”

I learned to not look like a tourist and that guided tours are not the way to go.Nadine BahlqeLake Fenton High School graduate

‘‘ ’’Nadine Bahlqe - Lake Fenton grad Many people have plans to travel after they finish school. However, Nadine Bahlqe, 17, is graduating from Lake Fenton High School this spring and has already been to Spain, Italy, France, London, China, South Korea, India, Japan, Singapore, Germany, and Paris. “I definitely enjoyed high school. People say it’s the ‘best four years of your life’ but it’s really not. It was fun,” Bahlqe said. She will attend Florida State University going into the medical field to become at Veterinarian. Bahlqe chose Florida State University because it’s “basically Michigan State but with better weather.” People were friendly when she visited back in November, she said. After college and graduate school, Bahlqe wants to settle down south, mainly because of the weather. “Hopefully, if everything goes right, I want to open my own veterinarian practice in Georgia,” Bahlqe said. Bahlqe has also been to school in Japan, where she attended an international school for first- through third-grade. The big-gest cultural difference was the attendance policy. Bahlqe’s school in Japan didn’t enforce attendance because they wanted to encourage kids to travel. Bahlqe’s family is originally from Germany and she goes to visit every year. The main cultural difference between Germany and the U.S. is “things that are insulting here would be normal there,” Bahlqe said. She didn’t like Paris because the people were rude and it was dirty, but she loved Spain. Traveling has made her more open-minded than her peers. “They don’t want to go see Asia and I think that’s weird,” Bahlqe said, adding that she’ll miss high school for “the first two weeks of college, but not really.”
