Volleyball, varsity basketball, and track are just some of the things Kathryn Mills spends her time doing. Needless to say, her freshman year of high school at ERHS has been a busy year.
"Kathryn is a good student and her strengths are her organization and commitment to completing assignments, and her goal oriented characteristics,” said Whitmyer, head coach of the girl’s varsity basketball team and teacher at ERHS. “On most days it is enjoyable to have Little Scat in my class. But on some days she can be talkative and a bit too social.”
Mills regards Mr. Whitmyer as her most influential teacher because he is also her basketball coach and she looks up to him. “He also gives great advice, and I know if I have any problems I can go to him.”
Mills’ says she plans’ to attend Central Michigan University after high school and wants to be in the medical field and possibly as a brain surgeon.
"Hopefully I will go there on a basketball scholarship. I want to go there specifically because my parents both went to that school.”
As we all know, high school can be very challenging for some, especially for those who are involved in athletics. For Kathryn the hardest part has been keeping her grades up during sports, and getting ready for tests.
"Don't let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do," by John Woodsen is one of Mills’ favorite quotes that she tries to follow and suggest that others do the same.
"To me the quote says that if you have problems don’t let them hold you back and interfere with your life,” said Mills. “Don't let limitations stop you from achieving your dreams."
Mills' favorite thing about ERHS has been the camaraderie between the student bodies and says that she has enjoyed her first year in the high school and cannot wait for the next three years.
“Kathryn deserves to be student of the month because of her consistency in turning in assignments, being a good kid, and creating a positive atmosphere in the classroom,” said Whitmyer.
