This week, we shine the light on Kaydee Day as our Senior Spotlight. Kaydee is a dedicated and involved student at Wallenpaupack Area High School, and she values determination, hard work, and most importantly, friendship. Outside of school, some of Kaydee’s hobbies include reading, working, and hanging out with her friends, but her favorite thing to do will always be going to the movies with her best friend.
Many of Kaydee’s favorite memories from her time here at Wallenpaupack lead back to the football games. The thrilling anticipation in the car on the way to the games with her friends, getting there earlier than others for an exciting view of the field, and the overall enthusiasm of the student section have all granted her memories that she will continue to cherish beyond high school.
Looking back at herself from freshman year, Kaydee has noticed incredible growth in both herself as a person and as a student. One of her biggest areas of growth would be her dedication and commitment to school and sports. Kaydee says, “I care more about the grade I get on my work than I used to; I take the time outside of school to study and practice my curriculum.”
Her uplifting determination has led her to become a positive influence on all those around her as she continues to strengthen herself both academically and athletically during her senior year.
This upcoming season will be Kaydee’s second year involved in swimming, which she treasures deeply. Although Kaydee has only started competing recently, she designates swimming to be her favorite school sport. Competing in the 100 butterfly and the 200 relay, Kaydee has made remarkable improvement in her brief time as a member of the team. Some aspects that make swimming very enjoyable for her would be her encouraging teammates and the discipline that the sport instills. Kaydee says, “The people on the team are very good to be around, and I enjoy how hard I have to work to be good at the sport.”
We wish Kaydee the best of luck this next swim season!
After high school, Kaydee plans to continue her education by attending a university, where she intends to major in business marketing. She hopes to use her education to pursue a successful career in that field. As Kaydee prepares for this next chapter, she will continue to move forward with perseverance and radiate her positivity upon others. Her unwavering dedication will make her memorable for students and teachers here at Wallenpaupack. We are so excited to see all that Kaydee accomplishes on her future journey!
