In a few short months, some of Gibson Southern’s seniors will be living in dorm rooms, some will be working full-time jobs and some will be across the world. While they all walk the same hallways now, their futures all look different.
One of those students, Carson Agee, plans on entering seminary to become a priest.
“This choice came from when I was on a church retreat in Italy last summer, and I was told I would make a great priest,” Agee said.
Going down this path will be about seven and a half years of college, one year living in Evansville, and then he will go to Marion University for three years. After this, Agee plans to study Theology for three and a half years. If all goes to plan, he will be ordained a priest and assigned a parish.
Another senior, Carly Potts, plans to attend and play softball at the University of Iowa. While there, she hopes to go on to achieve her doctorate, majoring in human physiology. This degree fits her interests, which are interventional cardiology, dermatology and anesthesia. She hopes she can narrow it down to one while in school. She chose this path because medicine has always been fascinating to her, she enjoys helping others and she has the passion to learn more.
“I am excited and nervous at the same time, but I think that moving out-of-state will help me branch out to explore new places and meet new people along the way,” Potts said.
Similarly, senior Noah Kuester plans on attending college at Purdue University, where he will be majoring in pharmacy.
“I chose pharmacy because it’s a good mix of science and helping people,” Kuester said.
He is most excited about spending his summer with friends and family before he heads to school in August. Kuester said he is not sure of anyone from his class who is also attending Purdue, which makes him a little nervous, but he knows a few Titan alumni who study there.
There are some soon-to-be graduates who are going to enter the workforce, like senior Jax Coleman. He plans to join the crew at Toyota as a maintenance worker, while riding bulls on the weekends. He will attend Vincennes University in the fall to pursue an associate’s degree in robotics and automation for the Toyota AMT program.
“I am most interested in Industrial technology or machines because they are a lot bigger and, in my opinion, cooler to work on,” Coleman said.
Coleman is a little nervous but excited about what his life will bring. He plans to stay close to home but cannot wait to see what his future holds.
Although the seniors are near the end of their days as Titans, this was just one chapter in their lives. There are great things each and every one is going to do – their futures are bright.
