Pioneer High School Senior in the Spotlight: Student looks forward to college
Senior Shania West decided early that she wanted to graduate as a Pioneer Panther, and chose to attend Pioneer High School for all four years. She thought that it would be a good fit for her and she has no regrets. And, now with those years nearly behind her, Shania is looking forward to achieving her goal of going to college.
As a student who loves nature and the local beauty of the Carson City, Lake Tahoe region, Shania spends her free time going on hikes, finding waterfalls and exploring new places. Soon she will be exploring the campus of Western Nevada College to pursue a career either in criminal justice or the medical field. Shania has a desire to help people who are ill and feels that all people deserve a fair case if they run in to trouble.
Shania’s dream has been to go to college. Now, just a few months away from achieving her goal, she credits her success to her teachers, her mom and her boyfriend. Shania stated “All these people have told me to never give up when I just really wanted to.”
“Thank you Mrs. Watts and Ms. Danielle for being there when I needed help or someone to talk to. Thank you for having faith in me.”
Shania says that Pioneer has helped her in many ways by teaching her to never be afraid to ask for help, because she believes most people definitely will help you “Once I leave Pioneer, I will be sad because this is one of the best schools I have been to,” she said. “They are the most caring people I know. The atmosphere there is amazing. It's like a big family there. Thank you Pioneer for everything that you do.”
Shania, Pioneer will be sad to see you go, but even more, we will excited to see what you have yet to accomplish. Thank you for your success and we look forward to hearing about what is to come
