the atmosphere. “I like Florida. The
school is close to the beach and the
architecture of the school is very
modern. I went to a couple of classes
and it was really interesting,” he said.
“It will be a good change of pace.
I just like the beach in general,” he
continued. He is considering majoring in engineering because math and
science are his favorite subjects. He
built a Tesla coil which produces
high-voltage, low-current and high
frequency alternating-current electricity with his grandfather. He enjoyed
that process and seeing how it
worked. Victory High School students
recently celebrated the end of school
at their spring semi-formal. They
went out to dinner and then attended
a play in Cleburne. They stayed up
the rest of the night playing laser tag.
“We were all tired but it was fun,” he
said. He’s looking forward to going
to a new place, and making new
relationships, but will miss his family
and getting to see how Weatherford
grows. While in high school, he
participated in Weatherford’s youth
advisory council where he saw
up-close how civic government
32
works. From that experience, he
shared that “You shouldn’t complain
if you aren’t going to take the time to
be involved,” he said. “You should
vote every time you can.”

Parents Jessica & Jason Graham
Cheyenne will be attending
Weatherford
College in the
fall where she
is considering
two diverse
career paths.
One is an
x-ray technician the other
is a cosmetologist. She
is thinking
of becoming an x-ray technician
because it is a high paying career
and you can begin in only two years.
Being a cosmetologist would allow
her to be her own boss, “Taking
all the risks, I’ve always kind of
liked cutting hair,” she said. She
would like to stay in Weatherford to

open a salon. “I love Weatherford.
Everyone’s nice and it’s very hospitable. Going into companies they
treat you like family,” she said. Her
best memory at Victory was coming
in second in state for basketball.
She’s played both wing guard and
post during her basketball tenure.
“Everything about basketball I think
is fun. Running and shooting, the
relationships you build through
basketball, even with other teams,”
she said. “Getting a degree and being
done with school is what she’s looking forward to,” she continued. There
are only two seniors this year at
Victory, so she’s also looking forward
to meeting more people when she
starts at Weatherford College.
