Judges’ goal: Name the best of the best The 2018 All Academic judges are counselors, principals and superintendents.

In selecting judges for our annual tribute to outstanding high school students, The World-Herald invites education leaders and representatives of schools that have had students selected to our All Academic teams.

This year, the 12 judges gathered at The World-Herald Building in early April. After lunch, they broke into four groups to select the members of the All Regional Teams: Eastern, Metro, West-Central and Western Iowa.

Twelve were picked for a first

team in each region and, in Nebraska, 12 for a second team, as well.

The following week, a representative of each Nebraska regional judging panel met via conference call to select the nine-member All State Team. Those three judges considered the 36 students who had been named to regional first teams in Nebraska.

The process allows each judging panel to determine what weight to give the various pieces of information on the nomination form.

For example, it may be the rigor of a student’s schedule in the final semester of high school or the

variety of coursework taken over four years. The World-Herald does not interfere with the process, just asks that the judges focus on academic achievement.

The All Academic Program traces its roots to 1992 with selection of the first World-Herald All Metro Team. The newspaper followed with an All State team in 1994. In 1998, a western Iowa team was added.

Each year, every secondary school in Nebraska and western Iowa is invited to nominate its two top-ranked students for recognition. In addition, schools are asked to nominate any other senior who

achieved a test score of 32 or better on the ACT or a 1450 or better on the SAT. While the criteria for eligibility set a high bar, they still brought 1,252 nominations this year from Nebraska and western Iowa schools.

The 1,119 Nebraska students represent 234 schools. A total of 308 schools were invited to nominate their students for recognition.

Seventy-four high schools in The World-Herald’s western Iowa circulation area were invited to participate. Fifty sent a total of 133 nominations.

The task for our judges wasn’t

easy. Consider: » 22 earned perfect scores — 36 — on the ACT college entrance exam. » 102 achieved scores of 35 on the ACT. » 166 posted scores of 34 on the ACT. » 82 scored 1500 or better on the SAT. » 96 of the nominees are National Merit finalists.

Congratulations to the Class of 2018 and the parents and teachers who have supported the students on their educational journey.

2018 All State A

SOARING ACH

By Shelley Larsen • WORLD-HERALD STAFF WRITER

Meet the nine members of The World-Herald’s 2018 All State Academic Team. • All, of course, are accomplished at school. • In fact, all had a perfect 36 on the ACT in addition to being ranked at or near the top of their senior class. • But their accomplishments go beyond grades and test scores. • They also put their energy into sports, music and other school activities while not overlooking the need for downtime. • Discover more about these talented students and where the future might take them.

GALDINO GUZMAN-NAVARRO South Sioux City: 2nd in class of 297, 36 ACT, 1520 SAT, National Merit finalist Parents: Galdino Guzman and Maribel Navarro College: Harvard; economics Scholarships: UNL regents, dean’s scholar; UNO regents; Creighton Scott Scholars; National Merit; University of Chicago Odyssey and University; Harvard faculty On which test attempt did you get a 36 on the ACT? Fourth.

When did you first take the ACT? Seventh grade.

How did you prepare for the ACT? One test prep class, one online course, mostly practice tests.

Favorite school activity and why? Soccer. I grew up playing the sport with the same teammates and love the feeling of being on the field.

How do you spend downtime? I love to ride horses and spend time with my family.

A surprising thing about you? I skipped third grade, so I just turned 17.

What tips would you offer a younger student? Set yourself up for success by balancing your work with extracurriculars that you enjoy.

Challenge yourself, and remember why you want to succeed.

How do you see yourself in 20 years? I see myself working as a lawyer and running my own business.

Average amount of time per week doing schoolwork outside of school? Ten hours.

Favorite social media? YouTube.

JESSE LIN Lincoln East: 1st in class of 496, 36 ACT, 1580 SAT, National Merit finalist Parents: Xiaomao Lin and Ruiju Yang College: Princeton; physics Scholarships: UNL regents; Nebraska State Fair Academic Competitions; National Merit On which test attempt did you get a 36 on the ACT? Second.

When did you first take the ACT? Eleventh grade.

How did you prepare for the ACT? I prepared exclusively using prep books and practice tests online.

Favorite school activity and why? Debate because it changed how I think and view the world. It introduced me to many of my academic and personal interests and gave me some perspective on what I want to do in the future.

How do you spend downtime? I enjoy reading philosophy books/ articles and recent political and technology news. I also love listening to and discussing music, especially hip hop.

A surprising thing about you? I used to be a super picky eater and hardly ate anything. Now, I probably eat too much. Life plays cruel tricks on us sometimes.

What tips would you offer a younger student? The most important thing is to do what interests you — but be interested in a lot of different things. And have some collection of goals in mind of what you want to do and how you want to help the world. Academic success is not a goal, it only helps you get there (and it doesn’t necessarily help you get everywhere). Enjoy yourself! Finally, getting adequate sleep is better than cramming most of the time.

How do you see yourself in 20 years? Hopefully teaching and researching physics (or some other science) at a university.

Average amount of time per week doing schoolwork outside of school? Probably about 20-30 hours per week if you count the amount of time I get distracted while studying.

Favorite social media? I’m not a fan of social media in general, and so my favorite is Snapchat because the stories I post have to disappear eventually.

BENNETT WRIGHT Elkhorn South: 3rd in class of 305, 36 ACT, 1520 SAT, National Merit finalist Parents: Mark and Terri Wright College: UNL; computer science Scholarships: UNO regents; UNL chancellor’s, Raikes, engineering; Elkhorn Public Schools Foundation-Achieve On which test attempt did you get a 36 on the ACT? I got the 36 on my fifth attempt if you include my middle school one.

When did you first take the ACT? I was in seventh grade.

How did you prepare for the ACT? Taking the ACT once every year starting freshman year really helped me to prepare, and my school did a little bit of prep work as well as a practice test.

Favorite school activity and why? My favorite school activity is show choir because I love singing, I love dancing, and I love spending time with all of the other people there.

How do you spend downtime? I like playing video games (probably too much), watching TV shows on Netflix and playing board games with my family.

A surprising thing about you? I was actually in a movie when I was younger. It’s called “Lucky” (2011), and you can find it on IMDB. It was a really cool experience.

What tips would you offer a younger student? I suggest paying attention in class and doing your homework. I know it’s tough, and it’s really easy to get distracted, but a lot of times, if you pay attention in class, you barely even have to do the homework or it’s a lot easier because you know what’s going on.

How do you see yourself in 20 years? I see myself doing something with computers, probably on the software side. Not exactly certain what yet, but my planned major is either computer science or software engineering, so probably something with that. Maybe cyber security? It’s like anti-hacking basically, finding holes in security systems, that sort of thing.

Average amount of time per week doing schoolwork outside of school? In junior year, I probably spent at least five hours a week on homework, but now that I’m a senior, my workload is a bit lighter, so it’s closer to three. In both cases, there are occasional spurts where it’s a lot higher than that because I’ve got a project due or something.

Favorite social media? While I don’t use social media all that much, my favorite is probably Snapchat.

Fifth.

When did you first take the ACT? Seventh grade.

How did you prepare for the ACT? I used a few online videos and practice questions on topics I had to improve.

Favorite school activity and why? Baseball has always been my favorite activity; it’s a great distraction from other work. I really enjoyed joining the EconTeam this year, too.

How do you spend downtime? I like spending time with my friends and older siblings. Reading, listening to music and playing video games are also among my favorites.

A surprising thing about you? I collect minerals as a hobby.

What tips would you offer a younger student? Be committed to being your best, and expect mistakes and errors along the way.

How do you see yourself in 20 years? In 20 years, I hope to be working for my own business. I would expect it would be in a STEM-related field.

Average amount of time per week doing schoolwork outside of school? 8-10 hours.

THE LOCATION

The Torn Notebook sculpture at 12th and Q Streets on the University of Nebraska-Lincoln campus, designed by artists Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen, was commissioned by the Sheldon Museum of Art and installed in 1996. • The sculpture has three pieces — a primary notebook structure and two other pages appearing to be blowing in the wind.

JAE HYUN LIM Lincoln Southwest: 1st in class of 492; 36 ACT, 1580 SAT, National Merit finalist Parents: Jung Yul Lim, Myung Hea Yoon College: Harvard; concentrating in economics Scholarships: Harvard faculty; MIT; Yale; Dartmouth; NYU Stern; USC trustee; National Merit; UNL regents, honors textbook, Forrest C. Blood Jr. On which test attempt did you get a 36 on the ACT? Second.

When did you first take the ACT? Eighth grade.

How did you prepare for the ACT? I took the practice test given to me when I registered.

Favorite school activity and why? My favorite school activity was Science Olympiad because the program at Southwest is really well run and organized by our coaches, and I got to meet a lot of great people.

How do you spend downtime? I spend time with friends, golf, watch “The Office,” listen to music.

A surprising thing about you? I’m addicted to Runza Cappuccino shakes.

What tips would you offer a younger student? There is a definite skill to procrastination, and you’ll get better at it as you do it more often. Really get to know your teachers, as they tend to not only be passionate about the subject they teach, but also can offer insights and perspectives on your own life as they have worked with many students in the past. Finally, form strong positive relationships with your peer group. Whether it be cracking up over a good pun to relieve the stress of studying for a college class or late night talks over fries after a movie, the memories I have made with my friends are what I value most about my high school experience.

How do you see yourself in 20 years? Working as a hedge fund manager on Wall Street and learning to speak another language fluently.

Average amount of time per week doing schoolwork outside of school? 12.

Favorite social media? Snapchat, but if you really want to get to know people, you should talk to them in person.

Benson Brianna Parsons Key Staffer Journalistic roles: yearbook editor; newspaper photographer College plans: Wayne State; photojournalism Parents: Randall and Julie Parsons About: During my 13 years at Benson, I can easily say that Brianna is one of the best students I have ever worked with. She is incredible. I admire her never-ending desire to do well. For her, some things do not come naturally. She has to work for it. When she was in chemistry, she struggled with homework and labs but, instead of complaining, she went in each day after school until she got it. The same goes for her math class. I wish more students were like her.

Bryan Gabrielle Becton Key Staffer Journalistic roles: yearbook editor; previously assistant yearbook editor College plans: UNL; journalism Parent: Kimberly Early About: Gabrielle Becton was chosen because she has been a force to reckon with in the yearbook room. She is one of the best leaders I have had the pleasure of having on staff. She has taken the time to not only tell her staff what to do to create an award-winning publication, but she has sat down and worked with almost every staffer and helped them better their work. Whether it was their writing, layout and design or photography, Gabbie pushed them to grow instead of just doing the work for them.

Burke Kassidy Hart Key Staffer Journalistic roles: yearbook coeditor College plans: Morningside; elementary education Parents: Jennifer and Jonathan Hart About: Kassidy is one of the most impressive editors I have had on one of my staffs.

Our yearbook representative has commented more than once about how she has a great presence and rapport with the staff. He said she might be one of the best leaders he has ever seen (and he travels all over the country helping schools with their yearbooks). In the three years I have been teaching Kassidy, she has never missed a deadline. She is positive, enthusiastic and inspiring to the students she is around.

Papillion-La Vista Schyler Cruse Key Staffer Journalistic roles: yearbook co-editor; previously yearbook section editor College plans: UNL; child, youth and family studies and journalism/mass communications Parents: Jay and Kiley Cruse About: Schyler has been a remarkable leader for the yearbook staff all three of her years here at PLHS. She is able to masterfully balance the need to comfort and encourage her staff with the wisdom of knowing when it is time to speak out for issues that might be unpopular among her peers.

I believe she has taken the confidence she has gained from being a yearbook editor and has applied it to her other classes and endeavors, as well. She will be a positive force to be reckoned with for years to come.
