As the school year begins, some seniors are already excited to graduate and head into their futures including one senior, Tyler Nicole Kampschneider. Despite being an active student in the school community, Kampschneider wasn’t always a member of the Lakeview district, previously attending the Columbus Public Schools.

“I’m excited. I’m pumped because I want to get out of here and go to, like, Florida or Colorado.” says Kampschneider. She seems ready for what lies ahead and already anticipates the difficulties she'll encounter. Seniors face many different transitions, and for Kampschneider, the most difficult is the feeling of not knowing what she is going to be doing. “Definitely the stress of leaving high school and pay a lot of money for more school.”

Daughter of Gary Kampschneider and Kelly Kampschneider, and sister of her younger brother, Cole, Tyler's social skills help her in being a team leader on the wrestling cheer squad. Most people think seniors are treated differently by underclassmen, although that is not the case. However teachers do give more responsibility to seniors.

Even though the school year has just begun, Kampschneider is already thinking about her plans after graduation. “I’ll probably hit up a community college and get my generals.” Kampschneider will face difficulties such as not knowing what she is doing and becoming accustomed to a new atmosphere, but Kampschneider is excited to be heading out on her own.
