The motivation for senior Carson Sherman is low.
“I don’t like school, I would rather not do work and would like to do trade school instead,” he said.
As the end of the school year draws to a close, many seniors like Carson are finding that the struggle with senioritis is a real challenge.
Senior Keely Kleiwer said her motivation is also low: She describes it as “dragging by” and doesn’t want to be at school anymore.
A challenge Keely faces is staying focused and attending each class. She said she is going to get all her work done at night and stop procrastinating.
Lastly, some advice Keely gives other students is: “Push through and finish work that’s assigned.”
Although Carson’s energy is draining, he said he is motivated by lacrosse. He does his homework to keep his grades up so he is able to play lacrosse.
“Do the steps you need to do now so that it’s lighter in the future,” Carson encourages other students.
Senior Elijah Minear’s motivation is to stay on track to keep moving forward. Elijah doesn’t find school interesting, which makes it even more difficult to even wake up in the morning.
“I’m always coming to school late.”
However, he is motivated to pass each of his classes.
“As long as you get everything done in the moment it will not stack up,” Elijah says to future seniors.
Senior Bryanna Dodson says plans to stay focused and attend class.
“It’s harder to be motivated to do the work because I know my final grades are coming up.”
However, she keeps herself motivated by her grades since she knows summer and finals are coming up.
“Stay consistent,” is Bryanna’s advice to future seniors.
Karwan Rasho is going to finish his senior year strong.
One thing that keeps him going is knowing that he has already done three years of high school so one more is not going to hurt.
Karwan is currently figuring out what he is going to do after high school.
“If I do good in school, it creates a good future in providing for my family,” he said.
He also encourages future seniors to “Do your work, turn it in on time, ask questions.”
