Devyn Green

Starting freshman year, senior Devyn Green had to navigate mental health. She says she struggled with putting herself out there and feeling nervous often. Green ended up making friends who pushed her to go out and make more out of her years in high school.

Green’s teachers are a big inspiration to her. After high school, Green wants to become an English or drama teacher.

“The way [my teachers] teach [inspires me]. They love and care about their students and help them when they’re feeling depressed or sad and just need somebody to help them out. They understand their students,” Green said.

Green feels she has improved a lot since freshman year. She learned from past mistakes and put in the effort to get better.

“[To my freshman self,] I’d say everything is going to be okay in the end. Just breathe, because you’re gonna be okay. It’s okay not to be okay. Just step aside, breathe. Talk to somebody,” Green said.
