Titan Times is proud to honor senior Ariel Schweiger who will be joining her fellow seniors at graduation on May 22nd, 2024. Ariel has been attending Hidden Valley High School since her first year, and has fond memories from her time here. Including, her choir concerts and the time she served as a member of Color Guard.
Ariel is heading to Virginia Western next Fall, where she plans to find a career path.
She states that choir has helped her out the most throughout her high school career, because of the skills she has learnt. She has been attending Mr. Miller’s choir class for seven years and states, “I learned how to speak in groups and how to collaborate with others. It wasn’t just communication, it was also life skills; because, it wasn’t just curriculum, it was also based on the environment and the people there.” One of her favorite teachers was her choir teacher Mr. Miller. “I’ve just known him for so long and it’s like I’ve known him my entire life.”
Ariel does regret a couple things, such as not being in more extracurriculars. “I always felt like I missed out on that opportunity to meet new people.”
As she continues her educational career, something she will miss dearly are her underclassmen friends. However, she leaves her underclassmen with important life advice, “Make a small group of friends and stick by them no matter what. Its better to have that inner circle that you know you can always trust. However if they wish to leave just let them, you cant save anyone that doesn’t want to be saved.”
We wish Ariel luck for whatever her future may contain.
