Flyer seniors share their thoughts about graduation and their time at Bishop Carroll. Today, Brooklyn Bockover.

As I look ahead to graduation I think about all the memories that I have had here at as a student.

I look back to my very first day as an incoming freshman and remember some of the student council representatives cheering us on into the doors. It was very intimidating and embarrassing walking through a tunnel of upperclassmen yelling and cheering, but looking back on it now, I think it was a really awesome experience because they made school seem like it was going to be a fun thing at Bishop Carroll.

Another really great experience of my high school career that has helped me in becoming the person I am today was having to transition from having Coach Racine as a basketball instructor to having Coach Dugan (Steven). I know people have their opinions about Mr. Racine, but I think he made me a tougher basketball player and person in general. I also really enjoyed my last three years of high school being coached by Mrs. Dugan. I think she set a leading example of what it takes to get to the next level if that’s what we really want. Being able to grow up and watch Taylor play in high school at Bishop Carroll and then seeing her play at WSU gave me something to shoot for.

Now looking back I am seeing how far I have come since being a “little freshman” to a “big bad senior.” I am thankful for all the people who have helped me become the person I am today, including my family, friends, teammates, coaches, teachers, and classmates. I honestly cannot wait to see what is to come as I continue on to Kansas City Community College on a basketball scholarship. I know that I will make new memories there with new teammates, friends, teachers, and classmates, but I will always remember the times I spent at Bishop Carroll and the memories that accompanied those times.
