In an effort to reveal the hidden talents, personalities, and accomplishments of Lakehill's most experienced students, the National Junior Honor Society presents:

NJHS Spotlight on Seniors!

This week's senior: Sydney Thompson

Sydney Thompson has attended Lakehill for four years and has enjoyed the experience. She likes Lakehill because the small class sizes make it easier to learn, and she loves the caring faculty.

Sydney is a great leader in the Lakehill community. She is cheer captain, Pan American Student Forum president, track manager, a member of Sisteens, NHS, ambassadors, and choir. Her favorite memory at Lakehill was from her sophomore year: A severe tornado warning forced most of the Metroplex to go on lockdown. She was at a track meet two hours away, and the entire track team had to take shelter in a Whataburger for three hours until the danger passed.               

The best advice she's gotten out of Lakehill is: "Don't look back and have fun." Her advice for students entering highschool next year is: "Try not to procrastinate and make the most of your highschool career because you don't get these years back. And, realize how valuable Mrs. Dondis is."

Some of Sydney's greatest accomplishments are: getting a bronze medal on the National Spanish Exam two years in a row, being on the homecoming court twice, and coming out junior year with an A in chemistry. Sydney has been accepted to Texas Christian University, Southern Methodist University, Carleton College, Baylor University, Texas A&M, Louisiana State University, Spelman College, High Point University, University of San Diego, the University of Louisiana at Monroe, and Centenary College of Louisiana. While she has not yet decided on a school, she plans to major in either psychology or pre-med.

The support of her family and friends has played a major role in her life. She says that they have helped her stay focused and make sure that she has her goals and priorities straight. Sydney hopes that she has made as good an impact on the people at Lakehill as they have made on her. She has definitely completed that task. Sydney truly is, and will always be, a great Lakehill Warrior.
