Kendra Crist - 2022

When did you graduate from Arlington?

I graduated in 2022.

Where do you go to college?

I am currently going to BGSU.

What are you going to college for? 

I’m studying to go into History Education.

What advice would you give to high school students?

Don't stress about what's to come, life seems like it's coming super fast. Things will work out, you'll find your people. Stressing will only end up making things worse. 

What inspired you to want to do what you do?

The teachers at Arlington, how caring and helpful they are. I want to help students the way my teachers helped me and be able to impact the lives of others like my teachers did. 

Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

I hope to have a steady teaching job close to home or at least in a small town. 

What’s the best part of BGSU?

Honestly, everything, the people, the campus, the whole experience is amazing. Coming from a small town I'm introduced to so many new cultures here and it has helped me grow and evolve as a person. The people here are amazing and have helped me grow and get out of my shell.

What was your favorite part of Arlington?

The closeness of it all, it was a comfort knowing everyone and being such a close-knit community.
