MAYCIE – GRACE HIGH SENIOR | SENIORS

Meet Maycie! This girl is always up to something, and when I met her, it was her Senior project. Here in Grace, the Seniors have a project requirement for graduation which entails finding a mentor, providing service, learning about a trade, and presenting their experiences to a ‘panel.’ I can’t believe how much work, effort, and time can go into these projects, but I see a lot of value when real effort is put forth! Maycie came to me looking to explore the world of graphic design, and photography. I can’t say I felt like the most qualified mentor, but I sure enjoyed her company! Maycie is creative. I remember telling her that I had a hard time doodling, something about just relaxing and drawing just did not come naturally to me. She laughed and said she doodled on just about everything- I wouldn’t doubt it! During her project she shared some designs she’s created including a handful of logos- I’d say she’s on the right track! I’m sure her contributions to the yearbook appreciated her talents! I hope BYU-I serves her creative mind well. I think they’ll be excited to have her in the graphic design realm!

I love Maycie’s desire to learn all things in the digital design world- there’s A LOT to learn and it can be overwhelming but her excitement, drive, and determination will be a huge asset.

Day 2: I love Maycie’s desire to try new things.
I am one to order the same thing at the same five restaurants out of fear that I may try something new and not like it. I’ve surprised myself as of late because I’ve tried a new drink each time I’ve gone to Sam’s Soda the last four times- that’s a big deal! Sure every drink is a lemonade base but that’s still a win for me! Maycie on the other hand…well, she’s got more adventure in her veins than I do. On her senior trip, she tried frog legs. I don’t know if that’s a good idea or not, but I’ll just be amazed at her for trying new things!😉

 

Day 3: Maycie loves music. I know, you’ve decided you and Mayc are now friends with just that small piece of knowledge! But seriously, I remember talking to her one day and she told me of her love for all things music, from listening to it, to writing her own, that is her happy place. I may not have seen her in person, but I did get to hear her play the piano during a church service and her talent did not disappoint. I love how she can express herself in such a beautiful way! I started taking piano lessons when I was eight and continued those lessons up to age 17, I also learned to play the flute around the same time but once I hit high school, I let it go by the wayside. Music is powerful, and I loved and appreciated the outlet it gave me. I wish I had the vocals I so desired! Maycie sings, she plays the piano and the guitar and I can’t help but hope she continues to grow those valuable talents!

Maycie, you made it. Graduation is here, be proud, you’ve done it!
