Senior year can be the most memorable year of one’s life. It can extremely happy and exciting for some and sorrowful for others. For many the year can be both, making it a bittersweet year. Senior year is by far the most memorable year of one’s high school career. All one’s hard work finally pays off. Students apply to the college of their dreams that will seal one chapter of their life and start a new one. This edition highlights yet another fantastic senior: Ventre Woolery. Ventre is planning on attending SUNY Oneonta this coming fall. He is interested in having a dual major in education and social studies. Ventre said, “I am interested in teaching because I love working with kids, and I plan on using this to help me to become a school guidance counselor.” In high school, Ventre played soccer, basketball, and track. Soccer is his favorite sport because he is better at it and “it involves many different ways you can approach and play the sport”. On the soccer field, Ventre will play every position except for goalie. On the basketball court, he is a point guard. On the track Ventre runs the 100, 200, 400, and 800 meters, as well as relays and the triple jump. Unfortunately, due to his torn ACL, he is not able to play most of his sports this year. His favorite memory in his entire athletic career was “upsetting MPH in soccer with a score of 3-1 with having 3 assists as a junior,” said Ventre. He participates in Key Club, Robotics, and peer mentoring. His favorite is peer mentoring because he “loves to work with kids, and it is very fun to do activities and bond with them.” Ventre is President of the Robotics Club. He is one of the main builders and drivers of the robots. Not only that, but he is also a writer of the robotics journal for our team. “My favorite thing about robotics is that I get to hang out with my friends and solve problems creatively which I find very fun and interesting,” stated Ventre. High school is four years long. For some, it feels like an eternity for others it goes by in a flash, but no matter how fast it goes by so many memories are made. Ventre’s all-time favorite high school memory was going to prom and hanging out with his friends afterward and being around all his friends during it. His advice to any underclassmen is this, “Give a 100% in anything you do no matter how small, this will show people what kind of person you are and will help you later on, and if you make a mistake it’s okay, just make sure you learn from it and don’t make the same mistake again. Also, don’t forget to have fun, you won’t be in high school forever so make sure you balance school with your social life.” When asked what his favorite year of high school was Ventre said, “Although my senior year has been disappointing sports-wise, it still has been my favorite year so far because I have classes with almost all my friends, and almost all my classes are really fun.” Ventre is going to miss hanging out with all his friends in school and his teachers. No matter how much of high school you are going to miss, everybody is excited about college!
