Anthony Godfrey:
Hello and welcome to the Supercast. I'm your host, Superintendent Anthony Godfrey. It is a time to reflect on memories that will last a lifetime while looking forward to the future.

On this episode of the Supercast, we sit down with some members of the graduating class of 2023. Find out who inspired them to succeed and what's next as they make new memories in their journey beyond high school.

Introduce yourself and tell me about a teacher or adult that's been impactful for you at school.

Linda:
I'm Linda and I'm from Riverton High School. And a teacher that has been impactful for me through school. I'm so grateful because I had the opportunity to have so many great teachers in my life. I remember in third grade I had my teacher, Ms. Colgan, and even though we were homeless or the different things that we would struggle with, she was always so kind and always was so loving and it just always made my day brighter.

I remember one thing, she brought me snow boots for the winter because I had no snow boots. And I will never forget that moment because she showed her love and her kindness. At the high school, I've had so many great teachers, Ms. Elliot, Brett Nelson, and my wonderful counselor, Mr. Christensen. Having these great teachers, having them not judge me, and be there for me, and know that I'm capable of greater and my grades don't define me, my past doesn't define me, and that I'm going to grow into a great person. Just having them and their great example has helped me a lot.

Anthony Godfrey:
He's taught you there's always that next step forward. I love that. That's great. What advice do you have for those who are entering high school or their senior year?

Linda:
I would say that life as well as high school is going to be what you make it. So I think oftentimes whatever life throws at us or whatever we go through like in middle school coming in, again like I said it won't define you.
