Senior Delaney Tarpley isn’t just another fish in the pond this year. From being in a leadership position on KLHS, to being a part of the National Honor Society, Tarpley is truly an amazing student.
Like many students, Tarpley is eager to make her senior year outstanding.
“I’m going to try and make the most of this year because it’s my last,” Tarpley said. “I’m excited to finish strong with grades and activities.”
Her strength definitely shows, considering she’s currently involved in Link Crew, National Honors Society, Spanish Honors Society, Spanish Club, Newspaper, KLHS, and tennis, just within the school.
Tarpley also participates in many activities aside from school, like tennis lessons, National History Day and the Teen Advisory Group at Mid-Continent Public Library, more commonly known as TAG, which helps bring teens to the library.
Not only is Tarpley exceptional at living in the moment, but she has her future thought out as well.
“My dream job is that I’m going to college for would be a broadcast journalist or news anchor,” Tarpley said.
Tarpley has been taking steps toward her dream job since she first stepped foot into the halls of LHS.
“What I’ve been doing to prepare for my future career would be the past four years of Newspaper and these past two years of KLHS,” Tarpley said. “I am on the leadership team for KLHS this year, so I’m hoping that’ll look good on my college application.”
Not only that, Tarpley has already sent her application to Mizzou.
“You’re just another fish swimming in a very, very big pond so you really have to try and work hard to prove yourself.”
Prove herself she will. There’s nothing but high hopes for Delaney Tarpley and there’s no doubt that she’ll easily live up to everybody's expectations this year, and for the years to come.
