Spotlight on Kristen Lykins, 12th grade
Osceola High School, Seminole

 

Kristen on Kristen ...

My name is Kristen Leigh Lykins and I am a 17-year-old senior at Osceola High School. I am a varsity football cheerleader and a member of the National Honor Society, the National English Honor Society, and the Spanish National Honor Society. I am in the Early College program at St. Petersburg College, which means that I will graduate high school with my diploma and an AA degree. I hope to attend FSU and major in criminology.

I'd like to dedicate this spotlight to a few people: to my mom, for supporting me no matter what, and teaching me that the sky is the limit; to my grandpa, for being my role model and my rock; and to my amazing grandmother, who showed me how to live every single day to its fullest.
