It’s no question that students go through a lot of changes throughout high school. It is the point in life when you’re not quite an adult but you are conscious enough to understand that you can make your own decisions. High school is a time when many people are figuring out who they are. From freshman year to senior year we have gone through so many changes, whether physical or emotional. I put together some of the most drastic “glow ups” of our senior class.

Brady Becco:

Holy transformation! Brady’s baby face was replaced with a glass jaw but I can contest that he kept his silly humor throughout high school. Brady says, “High school made me who I am today.”

Jake Thornally:

And to think, three years ago neither of them knew they were destined to be writers for the Jetstream Journal…

Natasha Clarke:

Natasha went from a blonde beauty to a brunette beauty.

Ryan Henley:

Ryan Henley says, “High School didn’t change me, I changed High School.”

Emily Olson:

“High school has changed me by allowing me to become more confident, compassionate, sociable, and successful in my life both inside of school and out. I have learned so much and grown over these four years in ways that I never would have imagined. I now feel ready to take on the future by welcoming all new opportunities and experiences as I continue to learn in college.”

Last but not least, yours truly…

Wow. I had a lot of hesitation putting this one up for everyone to see. Braces were a necessary evil that cursed me for four years.
