lhsimage asks Senior Heather Rightler about life as a senior eagerly anticipating freedom from high school.
Q: Is senioritis affecting you yet?

Q: What is the most stressful part of 4th quarter for you?
A: “Trying to balance all the last minute projects and work, preparing for AP exams and trying to keep track of all the college deadlines.”
Q: What is your favorite LHS memory and what will you miss about the school?
A: “I will definitely miss dances and seeing all my friends every day. Other than that, not much at all.”

A: “Well, I care a lot less about what people think of me. Knowing I wont be seeing most of them after a few weeks, I dont care too much what their opinions about me are.”
Q: How are you preparing for life after high school and how will your life change after graduation?
A: “I’m trying to prepare myself to be more independent and start paying for all my own stuff. I know everything wont be as easy when I’m on my own, but I’m so excited to start my career and the rest of my life.”
