December Alumni of the Month

"My time at Thomas Nelson High School had numerous positive moments and very few negative ones. Winning the 2012 Football Royal Court or getting the honor of performing with the drama group were two of my most enjoyable moments. I was involved in multiple groups and organizations, my favorites being Tennis, Ultimate Frisbee, and Drama/Performing Arts. Thomas Nelson always encouraged me to get out of my comfort zone and try new activities and that sense of adventure has stayed with me as I entered the real world. After graduating high school I started working as a veterinarian technician at a clinic in Lexington, KY while taking charge of a very large county wide grant involving the feral cat population. The grant funded the spay and/or neuter surgeries of eight hundred cats that I had to locate, trap, and release. A large part of this grant was public interaction and education, which thankfully, I have no issues talking to strangers. I’m most thankful for the opinionated teachers that took the time to teach me about the real world outside of high school – special shoutouts go to Mrs. Cornish, Mrs. Horn, and Mr. Robinson for teaching me the values of working hard among numerous other things.”
