This month has been stressful for Wilson House. With upcoming regent’s qualifiers, the family is working hard to prepare for them academically. In the past Wilson House students have done exceptionally well on the exams and they’re not expecting anything less this time around.
“We have received many new students, some of whom are older and will bring a needed maturity to the family,” said Kurt Hock. “With June graduation approaching, the family is getting nervous; however, the graduates are helping the other students to step up and hold down the fort.” Despite the nervousness, five new leaders have emerged, Joanna B., Parker S., Jillian M., Ross A., and Ben B. all received anchors. “Receiving an anchor gives me the opportunity to actually give back; I feel that now I can be a bigger support in my family,” said Parker.
The family is sad to see their brothers and sisters move on and graduate but many are anxiously awaiting their chance to be the graduates. Wilson House student Joanna B. is very excited that she is graduating in December. Since Joanna is only taking one class this semester the academic aspect of things should be pretty simple. The real test during her last six months will be on her program. She will be spending a lot of time figuring out who she is and what kind of person she wants to be when she leaves the school. “I’m very nervous about the hard work that lies ahead of me but I know that if I have faith things will turn out how they’re supposed to,” said Joanna.
When graduation rolls around things always get a little crazy, but we always pull through as long as we’re there to help one another.
