McCallie School valedictorian Duncan MooreRegional high school valedictorians say they’re excited about the upcoming presidential election, full of anticipation. They say they are following the issues, watching debates. They are all planning to vote.
In other words: They’ve got this.
But when it comes to going off to college, their answers are less confident.
“I worry about the sheer number of responsibilities that will face me as a college student. Between studying for classes, working a part-time job and managing finances, college seems to be the first taste of the real world that I will experience,” said Chattanooga Christian School valedictorian Cameron Austin.
“One major problem I know I will face is learning to handle responsibility. I go from being told when I can go to the bathroom to making my own decisions for everything,” joked Sydnee Ruff of Tyner Academy.
