Months away from graduation, many seniors are looking forward to the end of

classes and homework. For some however, the end of college is only the beginning of

much more schooling. These students want to move up in the realm of education into

an arena that is different from that of college. Students feel that they have been prepared

by their professors. Heidi Hopkins, who plans on attending the University of Michigan,

said, "Dr. Wiggins has prepared me the most by giving me tests and projects that are like

graduate school." Teachers take great interest in the progress of their students. As Joe

Conrad put it, "The one-on-one attention by Drs. Henry, Deckert, Ring, and others was

i

of extreme value."

While students have been prepared for graduate school, they will still face various l

obstacles. Some have to face difficult tests in order to attend graduate school. However,

for Micah Tompkins, the greatest barrier is himself. "My old habits and lapses of mental

focus and confidence are problems that need to be controlled," said Micah. Despite dif­

ficulties, seniors throughout the college have the goal of graduate school before them as

they finish their education at Clearwater.
