Where Are They Now? - The Class of '18 Revisited

by Aaron Bass

Many of us can remember last year's seniors -- the class of 2018 -- walking the halls here at Orlando Christian Prep, as they graduated just a little under a year ago. We thought it would be fun to follow-up with a few of them and see how they're getting along.

Kai Jones, graduated from OCP but decided to "re-class" and attend Brewster Academy for another year of high school sports and personal improvement. He has recently committed to attend the University of Texas. Ronaldo Segu has been playing basketball for the University of Buffalo, where he was able to play in the second round of this year's NCAA tournament. Rondo has been a stand out player for the Bulls this season, and he looks forward to continuing his success as a sophomore next year.

Amanda Olascoaga made the move to Virginia, where she is majoring in health sciences and surrounded by beautiful mountains at Liberty University. Parker Smith is down in beautiful West Palm Beach, where he is studying finance at Palm Beach Atlantic University. Parker is looking to become an accountant in the near future.

Jeriel Irizarry was able to secure a full scholarship to attend Rollins College here in Orlando. Jeriel turned down scholarships from over ten big colleges from across the country to be able to study close to home. A few of our other graduates, such as Micayla Davis and David Moreno, have also decided to stay local and attend classes at Valencia Community College.

As you can see, many of last year's graduates are continuing their education - in different ways and in different regions of the country! We are so proud of how they are learning and growing in their new environments. We pray that they continue to find success in their educations and careers as they seek to be the World Changers they've set out to be!
