The Collegiate
24
Kristin Smith, School Counselor “One of my favorite events every year is graduation. It reminds me of what a privilege it has been to work with these students who so quickly transform into young men. Seeing many of them for the first time as nervous freshmen in the Cullen Center for the Arts and watching them cross the stage at Kleinhans as confident graduates is always emotional for me. The path to graduation is easier for some than others, but watching the journey for all of them is so rewarding! I’ve learned over the years that while trends have changed, kids, for the most part, have stayed the same. All they really want is to be heard and understood. If they feel safe and valued, they will be successful.”
