Owen has helped me grow as a person in many areas
of my life including, but not limited to, physical fitness,
the ability to comprehend complex concepts within an
educational environment and the world around me,
and, most of all, the ability to function socially and
connect with my peers. Also, I have learned important
stress management skills through drama courses and
JROTC. All of the skills I learned at Owen will carry
over into a career with the U.S. Marines. I thank the
Owen staff, students, and teachers for shaping me into
the man I am today.

In my time here at Reynolds High School, I learned
discipline and how to conduct myself through football
and JROTC. My honors and AP classes were incredibly
challenging at first but my teachers were supportive,
and I learned important study skills. The most important
lessons I learned that I would pass on to incoming high
school students are to take risks and push yourself.
Don’t be afraid to branch out and make lots of friends.
Also, take advanced classes. Accept that they will be
challenging, but that’s where you’ll learn the most. Next
year, I’m enrolled in ROTC at Clemson University.

After high school, I will attend Blue Ridge Community
College and get my pre-associate’s degree in nursing,
and plan to earn a paramedic license in the summer.
While I am going to school I will be working as a Certified
Nursing Assistant (CNA), hopefully at Mission Hospital.
My aunt is a huge inspiration in my life. She has been
a CNA for 29 years and has been my role model since
I was little. Enka High School’s Career and Technical
Education program allowed me to graduate with my
CNA.
