Jessica Rader, Cheyenne, WY.
Jessica graduated from Central High School in the top 15% of her class of 386. She participated in many extracurricular activities including, but not limited to, Drama, Soccer, Indoor Track and the National Honor Society. One of her teachers stated that “Jessica is a serious student who demonstrates determination, dedication and commitment to her education.”
Jessica’s Mom was diagnosed with MS when Jessica was 4 years old. Through the years she watched her Mom give herself weekly shots and have impaired vision. Her Mom was always strong and positive. Although MS has subjected her family to hard times Jessica feels the overall impact has been constructive because it has given her the ability to look on the bright side, no matter what trials she is put through.
Jessica plans to attend the University of Wyoming and receive her Bachelor’s degree in Social Work or Education. Her goal is to work with children and their families.
