Kendall Oliver, University of Denver

“Set your expectation high for yourself, and low for everything out of your control.

Set hopes for the future, but don’t obsess over it.

Be yourself in a crowd of people, even if you stand out.

Be the one to stand up and take charge.

Create a path that will make you the best you can be.

Don’t take life too seriously and live in the present, or else one day you’re gonna look back and realize you missed out on enjoying high school”
