“The teachers and coaches at Walker taught me
how to push myself. I know what I am capable
of now, and they taught me not to settle for
less.”
Hannah, Class of 2021

resilience that has shaped me into the person I
am today. My favorite memory is playing for the
state volleyball championship my junior year”

“Taking advantage of all the amazing opportunities
offered and pushing myself to become a better
student, classmate and friend has allowed me to
become the best version of myself.”

Christmas is all year. She decorates all year for
Christmas and it just when it gets close to Christmas
when it gets on the outside.”
These days, more of Marie’s trees are artificial,
though she has three real ones ordered this year
already from Pike.
More and more of the decorations stay in their
spot year to year and she is running low on space for
decorations downstairs.
And there is something about those decorations
that are soothing to her.
“I just like to come in here and turn on the
Christmas lights when I go to bed sometimes and
just be in that ambiance that that gives up,” Marie
said. “I just like Christmas.”
COVID-19 over the past year and a half has
changed some things. But not all of it.
They didn’t host their family and grandkids for
Christmas Eve with Santa last year, instead they
heated up the pool on a December day and got
together outside.
And, a week after getting their COVID-19
vaccines last Dec. 30, they had COVID-19.
“We didn’t get it from the shot, obviously, but
we didn’t get it very strong either,” Marie said.
This year, she isn’t certain what traditions will
continue or change, though another pool party
sounds fun.
As long as it involves Christmas, and decorating,
she will be content.
