She confidently walks across the stage as her name is called, leaving the only world she knew for a new one full of change and opportunity. As any uncertainty looms in the back of her mind, she reminds herself of all the hard work and dedication it took for her to get here. The only thing stopping her from success in this new stage of life is self doubt. 

As I got to know Kailee during our short time together, I can confidently say she is these three things:

• Driven
• Smart
• Opportunist

After spending her entire Junior year of High School through online learning, she saw the opportunity to make the most of her extra time and started pursuing an AA at the local community college. Her drive and dedication landed the celebration of her success and hard work at not one, but two, graduations this spring. What an accomplishment! 

Her post-graduation plans include enjoying the summer and going into real estate with her mom. I wish Kailee all the success in her new life journey.

No dream is too big or too small, so dream big and dream often girl.
