Glaser, Shelby Leigh

by alexis beiermann

Shelby Glaser has been attending the district since her freshman year. Before she became a part of the district, she previously attended Columbus Public Schools up until eighth grade, and transferred freshman year. Glaser is the daughter of Brante and Nichole Hayes. She is the younger sister of Gavin, and older sister of Khyler and Gage. Her activities this year are cheerleading and viking voices. This will be her fourth year participating in both.

"It is pretty scary but exciting. I’m scared to leave my friends and start over in a different town and school. But I’m excited for my future career,” admits Glaser. Even though Shelby is a little timid leaving her friends and moving into a bigger town, she is eager to get started on her career. The hardest transition into senior year for Glaser was, “Having to fill out financial aid and scholarships. Also, getting on the right track for college.” For the seniors, there are more important things to be focused on compared to other years in high school.

“I'm just looking forward to spending time with my friends and enjoying cheer and music.” It seems Shelby really enjoys spending quality time with her friends, cheer and music while being in high school with the time she has left. She is making the most of it by getting herself involved with the activities she loves the most.

Glaser’s plans after high school are to attend the two-year program at Xenon in Omaha for cosmetology and esthetics. There, she will first learn all the basics in cosmetology and esthetics, and go more into depth about the two.

Seniors of Lakeview High School only have one semester left before they go their separate ways and begin the rest of their lives. Drew Schaad is one of the many seniors who is preparing to to start the rest of his life.

“It is a little nerve racking, but I am excited to move on to college and begin my career,” said Schaad. He has always been part of the Lakeview District starting at Shell Creek Elementary. His parents are Kelly, who is a teacher at Lakeview,  and Bob, who works at BD’s. He also has a younger brother named Cody who is a sophomore, and younger twin sisters in 7th grade named Carly and Emily.

Schaad’s high school experience has been quite busy. He is involved in FBLA and is an officer in FFA. Both groups are good at getting students involved and teaching them valuable lessons. Schaad also participates in track and has been a state qualifier in wrestling and cross country. As his final wrestling career is in progress, he has been doing well and set himself a goal of qualifying for state once again.

“Though I will miss the teachers and classmates that I have gotten to know, I will be ready to continue my education and start my career,” said Schaad. “I do not fret over this being my last year in high school, I try to see it as a new opportunity ahead of me.” Schaad is planning to work towards his career as a veterinarian and will enter the pre-vet program at UNL next fall. From there, he will enter a 2-2 program for vet school in which he will do the first two years at UNL and the last two at Iowa State. After getting a degree in Vet Med. and his license, Schaad plans to open his own clinic.
