although there were “ups and downs” she enjoyed meeting the new team every year and getting close with her teammates. Robson described Model U.N. as being one of her favorite high school experiences because of the number of kids she was able to meet from other areas. “Coming together with other teenagers and solving problems that arise is really interesting to see how everyone works through the situations together,” she said. “I’ve made friends from all over the

– an independent study course she took throughout the year. “I’m excited to forge my own path,” she said, “to fully pursue and dedicate myself to stuff that I’m interested in. I’ve felt like I’ve been given a lot of freedom here in Burlington to do what I want to do, but now in college it’s going to be another level of freedom.” Looking back on her time at BHS, Hernandez said that she’ll miss having her friends and family to fall back on, including
Another class that Donegan said helped shape her planned college major was anatomy and physiology with her teacher Troy Everson. “He made everything really hands on,” she said. “Sometimes you just walk into the room and he’s lying on the back table and you have to figure out what’s supposedly wrong with him. It’s a really interesting thing to do – you have to think on your feet.”

her teachers. “I’ve gotten really close to a couple of my teachers and I know I’m going to continue to talk to them after high school, but I’m definitely going to miss having that support system that I have been able to develop here,” she said. A school trip to the Grand Canyon helped Beltran Hernandez develop a closer bond with teachers she never knew before. She said she “got to experience something so extraordinary” with everyone on the trip.
Beltran Hernandez also shared that one of her goals since freshman year was to be top of her class as either the valedictorian or salutatorian. She said she wants to talk about her high school experience in her speech while also trying to reflect the experience of her entire graduating class. “I want everyone to be able to look at this speech and see it as a good summary of their high school life – a good way to close it out,” she said
Donegan said she would miss her teachers and friends most of all. However, she’s looking forward to college: “I’m just excited to be in college with people who are interested in big ideas.” Donegan said she would like to attend graduate school to become an emergency room doctor and eventually become involved in politics. Since Donegan is graduating early –
she started out as a member of the Class of 2019 – she said in her speech that she will talk about the way the Class of 2018 welcomed her. “I’ll probably talk about how the class … has always been there for me, helped me through everything even though I was younger than them, and how they’ve just been a really great influence on me and how I know they’re going to do really great things from that,” she said.

economics took the spot as one of her favorite classes and as one of her highlights during her time at BHS, describing the teacher for the class, Ken Savaglia, as “a great teacher” and “definitely the best teacher” she has ever had. “(AP Economics) really pushed me to decide to go into economics as my major,” Donegan said. “It also influenced me to go into politics.”

country.” For her valedictorian speech, Robson said she hopes to bring a message of taking on new struggles while honoring the past, but embracing the future. “Learning to accept the adversity that we face in all the issues that we’re going to face going through life, just as have through high school,” Robson said. She added “It’s kind of like don’t forget your high school years but also know that you have everything else still ahead of you.”
