IN TOUCH Health THE UPS AND DOWNS OF MY SENIOR YEAR JOSH THOMAS Southwestern High School Senior Southwestern High School senior Josh Thomas writes about his tumultuous senior year of high school. From enjoying his final year of high school to coming down with the COVID-19 virus to being awarded the prestigious Brown Fellows Scholarship. MAKING THE MOST OF MY SENIOR YEAR I went into my senior year with anticipation and excitement. I made a conscience effort to enjoy every minute of it because I knew it would fly by quickly. It’s the last year my friends and I would all be together, so I rode the wave of my senior year and went full out on everything. I went to the dances, the games, and hung out with my friends. I appreciated the little things knowing it would all come to an end this year. My friends and I relish the fun and competition of SWHS sports. You could easily spot us at all of the boys and girls basketball games, cheering and strongly voicing our opinions to the refs. There was an incredible amount of energy at every game. 6 • In Touch with Southern Kentucky June 2020
