As high school graduation approaches, it's time to celebrate the incredible accomplishments of students who have not only excelled academically but have also made a mark in their school communities. One such student is a standout senior who has balanced being on the competitive dance team, has a passion for theatre, and a commitment to service—all while maintaining an exceptional academic record. Let’s take a closer look at this remarkable individual, Miss Lillie Derouen, who is about to embark on the next exciting chapter of her life.
A Diverse Passion for School Activities
When asked about her favorite school activities, this senior quickly highlights her involvement in the school’s competitive dance team, theatre program, and two service clubs. These activities are not just hobbies for her—they are where she’s been able to develop skills in leadership, teamwork, and creativity, all while contributing to her school’s spirit and community.
Her love for dance and theatre showcases a dedication to the arts, while her involvement in service clubs reveals her commitment to making a positive impact on those around her. It’s this well-rounded approach to her high school years that has set Lillie apart.
Outside of School: A Love for Reading
While school keeps Lillie busy, she also finds time for her personal hobbies, one of which is reading. Books provide her with a form of escape, but also with knowledge and inspiration. This hobby allows her to continually grow intellectually and find new perspectives on the world, which is a perfect complement to her academic pursuits.
A Quote That Inspires: "The Words You Speak Become the House You Live In"
When it comes to personal inspiration, this senior is guided by the quote: “The words you speak become the house you live in.” It reflects her belief in the power of words—how what we say can shape our experiences and our world. For her, it’s a reminder to be mindful of her language, both in how she communicates with others and I’m sure how she talks to herself as well.
Uniqueness That Stands Out
What makes Lillie unique is her ability to thrive in multiple areas. Whether it’s excelling in the arts and athletics, maintaining a rigorous academic schedule, or serving her community, she embodies the balance of strength and creativity. Her academic achievements, including an impressive 31 ACT score, participation in multiple Advanced Placement (AP) courses, and acceptance into Tulane University’s prestigious First Year Honors Program, speak volumes about her dedication and intellect.
A Bright Future Ahead: Next Steps Post Graduation
Looking ahead, this outstanding senior has already made her mark in the academic world. She has been accepted into Tulane University, where she will pursue a major in Cell and Molecular Biology. It’s clear that her interests extend beyond the arts and into the sciences, and she is eager to take her intellectual curiosity to new heights at one of the nation’s top universities.
Her choice of major is a natural extension of her deep commitment to understanding the world around her, and Tulane’s First Year Honors Program will provide her with the academic challenges and opportunities to excel further in her chosen field. With her passion for science and her proven track record of hard work, there’s no doubt that she will continue to thrive as she embarks on her college journey.
As Lillie heads to Tulane University in the fall, there’s no limit to what she will achieve, and we can’t wait to see all the great things she will accomplish in the future!
