“I have always loved theatre and performance, and my ultimate goal is to pursue that as a career. UNC is the perfect place to develop the skills to be a professional, which makes it my dream school and a dream come true to get to study acting there,” she said.

She hopes to be a professional actor on stage or screen and come back to her community to give back to programs supporting her.

“I know there are no guarantees for the future. I would love to stay in Colorado because I love it here, but eventually, I might end up in New York or elsewhere for theater,” she said.

Brighton’s Dylan Leonard said his interest is science. He’s attending Colorado School of Mines after graduation from Brighton High School. He received the Bill Berens Memorial scholarship for $1,000.

“I plan to major in mechanical engineering with a focus on aerospace engineering,” Leonard said. “I was re- ally unsure about both my college and major for a long time. I really had no clue about where I wanted to go, all I knew was I wanted to create things. is led me to Mines.”

Once Leonard visited the School of Mines, he knew it was a match to enroll in the engineering program.

“ e engineering program there is amazing and it will give me the best chance to go far in my career. My major was undecided until only recently, but after thinking about it, I realized that I have always been fascinated with space and space travel. is led me to pick aerospace engineering as my major,” Leonard said.

Leonard also dreamed of starting his own company. But would accept the idea of working for NASA.

“I want to be able to control my life more than that would allow and I hope I will one day be able to achieve the best of both worlds owning a company and contract with di erent organizations like NASA or Space X,” Leonard said.

Brown will attend the University of Massachusetts, in Boston in the fall. She received the United Power Youth Leadership scholarship for $1,500.

“I will be majoring in biology. I have always had a passion for science and the endless mysteries it allows us to explore. My goal is to eventually pursue a Master’s degree in forensic science, a bachelor’s degree in biology is my stepping stone to get there,” Brown said.

“ e world of DNA and crime evidence is extremely fascinating to me,” she said. “(I’m) following my true crime dreams.”

Brown said her hopes and dreams to become a successful forensic scientist investigating, solving major criminal cases, and focusing on ensuring the evidence is correct, criminals are convicted, and the victim receives justice.

“I’d also like to become a young adult novelist along the way and own a corgi named Walter,” Brown said.

“ e last four years of high school I have been a part of my school’s Biomedical Foundations Program which has inspired my interest in studying diseases and other medical issues,” Hanks said. “While doing nursing I will be able to continue to build on the knowledge this program has given me, while also being on a career pathway that will allow me to better the lives of others.”

Hanks said she is excited about her journey at the University of Alabama.

“It will be a considerable change being so far from home, but I know it will open up so many new opportunities and friendships, she said. “I plan to continue my education and become a nurse practitioner.”

Aasmundstad-Williams said he has many hopes for the future and wants to use his professional degree to make a di erence.
