Ingalls — Tiffany Beavers
Published 5/23/2009 in Youth In Excellence
If Tiffany Beavers meets her current goal, some of her fellow Ingalls High School students might end up receiving haircuts at Beavers' own business before long.
The lifelong Ingalls student plans to attend Garden City Community College next fall to major in cosmetology and work toward opening a hair salon, she wrote on a questionnaire provided to The Telegram.
She thinks she and other classmates are set up to succeed, and she'd tell them, "Good luck to everyone, and keep your heads up. We're going to go far!"
When they remember her, she said, she hopes fellow graduates think of her as the "fun, outgoing, spontaneous girl" she's been in high school.
She's had fun with favorite memories like prom night her junior and senior years. She was a part of the Booster Club, which put together fun, safe activities for students to do after prom.
In addition, Beavers was involved in organizations like Student Council, band, choir, Kansas Association for Youth, I-Club, National Honor Society, yearbook and Students Against Destructive Decisions.
Kansas Association for Youth, a community service and leadership group, was her favorite activity, Beavers said. She said she enjoyed projects like planning fun nights for kids in the community and students joining together to each donate small amounts of money toward a local senior citizen's medical bills.
She also has participated in athletics, including volleyball and basketball.
But with all her activities, she's never let her grades slip. As Ingalls High School's valedictorian, Beavers also has landed on the A-B honor roll, and she's received University of Kansas honors and the Governor's Honor Award.
Some of her favorite classes during high school have been English — she enjoys studying grammar — and physics, because the teacher was fun. However, she's found that math and science aren't her subjects.
Regardless of which subjects they prefer, incoming freshmen should study hard, Beavers said. She leaves them with this advice: "Don't slack off, and pay attention to all the advice you get."
