Leaving Bethany, I had a firm foundation for many obstacles that high school threw at me. I feel that my time spent at the school taught me to ask deeper questions, become more organized, and connect with staff. Everyone was very dedicated to the students in our endeavors during the time spent at Bethany and that gave way to a competitive edge that I am able to say is still maintained today.

Some of my favorite memories were the science workshops we did with Mrs. Dunwell and Mr. Johnson. I distinctly remember the egg drop and mouse trap cars. In fact, they make for great dinner time stories.

Of course, I would like to thank all of the staff for the time and energy they spent making us better students. I would like to specifically thank Mr. Johnson for help in math and science, he gave me the knowledge base that I needed to pursue higher education in a combination of those subjects. If I didn't understand a lesson, he was always willing to work with me until I did and I'm incredibly grateful for that! I would also like to thank Mr. Bremmer for all the laughs but teaching me how to focus when it's needed.

Attending Bethany really has made a difference in my education. I went into high school a more prepared and confident student. It is also such a blessing to grow in a nurturing Christ-centered environment, high school does have trials but leaning on faith during that time does make a huge difference. I feel excited to continue my education in mechanical and industrial engineering at Purdue University this year. I believe my education at Bethany helped put me on track to better things.
