*SENIOR SPOTLIGHT*
Cora Thompson written by Myah Tanking
On August 21, 2007, Dustin and Manda Thompson welcomed their second child, Cora Elaine Thompson, into their family. She has one older brother, Nick, and one younger brother, Luke. Her interests are vast, but include spending time outside during the summer, quality time with friends going to Walmart, Taco Bell, and with her family hunting and fishing. She is graduating from Centralia High School with the Class of 2026.
Cora is an active member of multiple extracurricular activities. These include basketball, cross country, track, cheer, dance, StuCo, NHS, SADD, SAG, KAY, FCCLA, FBLA, and the school play. Cora’s favorite was cross country. She has made connections and friendships with people she might not have talked to otherwise. She is very grateful for every cross country team because each team has felt like family to her. Cora’s personal achievements throughout high school include being NHS president, winning state basketball, making the basketball All-Star game at Highland, and qualifying for state track twice. Cora was asked, “What was your favorite memory from high school?” She answered with, “My favorite memory from high school has been the bonfire every year, but especially senior year. It was so much fun getting to set up and joke around with classmates.”
Cora plans to further her education at Kansas State University to earn a degree in Chemistry or Biology. Then, she plans to apply for Kansas University’s Pharmacy Program. Cora has been influenced by many teachers at Centralia, but stated that Mr. Shearer has been the most influential. He is always willing to re-explain something and he makes classes fun to learn in. Something she has learned during high school is to not take everything so seriously. Set a goal for yourself and focus on that, work hard for yourself. Cora said that high school has prepared her for the future because, “It has taught me so much about myself and about work ethic and how to be involved within my school and community. High school has also helped show me what path I want to pursue after graduation and there have been so many people who have been a part of that journey.“ Some tips Cora has for next year’s senior class is to, “Focus on making memories with the people in your class. Soak up every memory because it flies by and you’ll be graduating before you even realize what’s happening.” Although Cora is sad about leaving Centralia, she is excited to start this new chapter in her life.
