🎓 Today`s 🌟 Senior Spotlight!🌟 features Grace Kairu

I have really grown to appreciate the strong community at WNS, akin to a close-knit family. At WNS every student is valued and supported, creating lasting friendships. The teachers are reliable mentors. The campus is not only safe but also offers a liberating and refreshing environment for exploration and growth.

During my time at WNS I`ve participated in basketball, football, and volleyball serving as captain for football and basketball in my final year. A memorable experience was our basketball team`s trip to Ethiopia. I`ve also enjoyed exploring ceramics this year for new learning opportunities.

My advice to incoming freshmen would be to stay true to yourself—high school shouldn`t change who you are. Enjoy your time with friends while also prioritizing your well-being. Don`t be intimidated by upperclassmen; it takes time to adjust. Remember, friendships aren`t bound by grades; be open, kind, and flexible with everyone you meet.

The most valuable lesson I`ve learned at WNS is the importance of embracing community, interacting authentically with others, and staying true to myself.  This experience showed me that I don`t have to pretend to be someone else, as there`s always a place for me in a community like WNS. It also gives me hope that I can find similar supportive environments wherever I go.

Grace, we celebrate the years we have spent with you, and look forward to all that lies ahead for you!  Congratulations! #wnsseniorspotlight

🎓Take a look at today`s 🌟 Senior Spotlight!🌟 Naleen Eshuchi

I joined WNS in 10th grade.  During my time here, I`ve been a part of the volleyball team twice. Alongside this, I`ve joined board games club, volleyball club, and pottery club.

One achievement I`d count as significant is being the Yearbook Editor-in-Chief this 2023/2024 school year.

In my opinion, what sets WNS apart from other schools is its dedication to the integration of Biblical teachings into ANY subject.

The most valuable lesson I`ve learned at WNS is to never procrastinate because it will only catch up and add onto new assignments.

After graduation, I think I`ll miss the community most--all the teachers and students, as well as just the small environment.

So far, I`ve gotten acceptance into all four universities I applied to in Canada, however, I haven`t decided which one I`ll be attending yet. I`m also looking into Spain for universities in case I want to begin university in January instead of September.

I intend to pursue Global Health Studies or Public Health to guide my studies toward working at NGOs like the UN.

Congratulations Naleen!! Enjoy the last few moments of this year and we will watch eagerly to see how God continues to work through you in the next part of your journey.

🎓 Today, we are shining our🌟 Senior Spotlight!🌟 on Jeremy Maina.

The aspect of WNS I appreciate the most is its close community it feels like being part of a family.  The environment is set up so that everyone can find their footing. Additionally, there is unlimited room for growth because of the healthily high standards that the school holds.  Having been in WNS since kindergarten, I can truly say that the positive impact the school has had on my life cannot be overlooked.

I played on the U15 boys football and basketball team from 6th - 8th grade and the U19 boys football and basketball teams from 10th - 12th grade. I also played U19 volleyball during 11th grade. Sports played a great part for me as I was honored to be the U15 boys football and basketball captain in 8th grade, and the U19 boys football and basketball captain in 12th grade. In addition to captaining the U19 basketball team in 12th grade, I was also greatly honored to receive 1 of 5 all-star selections at the ICSA tournament in Bingham Ethiopia, as well as other standout honors in tournaments this year. 

My advice to incoming freshmen is to enjoy as much of the experience as possible while correctly prioritizing what needs to be done. It`s easy to feel alienated when joining high school so I would encourage one to be as open as possible to the new opportunity.  Try to step outside of your comfort zone and push yourself in whatever ways you can. Whether this means picking up a sport, choosing AP classes, or communicating openly with those around you, the downside may not be easy to see, but the rewards are far greater than you could imagine without the experience.

I plan to attend Baylor University in Waco, Texas, studying Electrical and Computer Engineering. Engineering has always interested me as I`ve always been fascinated by solving problems and making things generally better. Knowing that I will be able to make noticeable differences to the lives of people on a daily basis keeps me motivated and driven to work as hard as I can in university. 

Jeremy, We know God has big plans for you. Thank you for the mark you have made at WNS. Congratulations. ...
