This semester, 12 potential Pueblo students will be marching to the traditional \u201cPomp and Circumstance\u201d at Catalina High School Auditorium on Thursday, December 22, 2016 at 6:00 p.m., along with all other December graduates in T.U.S.D.<\/p>\n

Noah Kowaleski is one of those proud seniors who will be attending the ceremony.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s about time that I graduate,\u201d Kowaleski said. \u201cLAZINESS and PROCRASTINATION\u2014with capital letters\u2014were my two best friends. Luckily, they moved away, far away, and I was able to focus on finishing my credits this semester.\u201d He paused and said, \u201cI plan to attend Pima next fall, after saving some money.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another senior on track to graduate, Hugo Reyes, said, \u201cNoah [Kowaleski] and I had the same best friends last year\u2014laziness and procrastination. Thank God these \u2018friends\u2019 moved, and I was able to stay on-task with my necessary classes and graduate.\u201d He, too, said that he will attend Pima in the fall of 2017, eventually pursuing a degree in computer engineering.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Francisco Enriquez will be part of this ceremony, too. \u201cMy mom inspired me to finish. It was very important for her to watch me graduate because neither her nor my father graduated from high school. I also want to be an inspiration to my younger siblings. They should be able to see their older brother graduate from high school.\u201d<\/p>\n

Enrique paused and said that he plans to attend Pima Community College to pursue a career as a medical assistant. \u201cI want to help others\u2014it\u2019s important that I fulfill this commitment,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
