“For market steers there are different classes, one is halter calfs, I have two of those and I also have six advanced feeder pens this year, and the entire goal of those is to get those to weigh as much as possible. I’m planning on being an agricultural engineer, so that I can help farmers.” -Logan Pfannebecker 19

“Robotics has given me an opportunity to learn how programming is done in a real setting instead of classroom. You actually have deadlines of things to be completed. You have to work on a code base and it’s not a single project at a time. So, that’s part of it. I don’t actually plan to go into robotics, but it has given me a better understanding of how programming is done.” - Yegor Kuznetsov 20

Ive been drawing ever since I could basically use my hands ... [My style is] very sketchy and abstract ... For the longest time Ive only done black and white ink, but over the last, Id say half a year, Ive started to paint. I want to be a fine artist and arts always been a great passion [of mine] and to do it for a living would be ... a good thing. My parents and friends have always been really supportive about it and my parents have never been like, Oh whats your backup? or whatever because they understand my drive and motivation for it. -Kiel McBrearty 19

I really like Crocs ... I have two [pairs] right now. These are furry ... so these are my winter Crocs. Then I also have my summer Crocs ... I think its great that they are making a comeback. I remember when I was little, I always had a pair of Crocs. As soon as I outgrew my old ones, I would get a new pair. I dont usually put [Jibbitz] in them because that kind of hurts my toes ... [but] I love wearing fuzzy socks with Crocs. -Annabel Hendrickson 21

“The life at home is totally different than it is at school because, at home, it’s like I’m still in Ethiopia. My family still follows Ethiopian traditions … but then when I’m at school my life is more Americanized.” -Awelu Abdalla ’20
