With the support of her sisters—Presley, Madison, and Josie—Marlee plans to attend the University of Louisiana Monroe (ULM) to fulfill her dream of becoming a registered nurse. She anchors her faith and future in Isaiah 60:22: “When the time is right, I, the Lord, will make it happen.”

Backed by the love of his family—including his mother, Aerial Perkins, three brothers, and one sister—Elvis plans to major in Business Management in college with the ultimate goal of launching and running his own enterprise. Guided by the motto, "That move you're scared to make might be the best move," Elvis is ready for the future.

"No matter how much negativity came his way, he kept fighting and never let that stop him from doing what he loved," Myron notes. With an ultimate goal to play in the NFL, Myron lives by the pop icon's wisdom: “Always believe in yourself. No matter who’s around you being negative or thrusting negative energy at you, totally block it off. Because whatever you believe, you become.”
Preston Ezell
Junior Preston Ezell, 16, is building a foundation of strength and service through his involvement in Powerlifting and the FFA. The son of Gary and D’ann Ezell and brother to Levi, Preston thrives in World History. He views his father as his greatest example of what a true man should be. Preston's ultimate future goal is to become an inspiring role model for the next generation while working hard to succeed in all his endeavors. He finds inspiration in the manga Berserk: “But if your dream still lives, if that castle still gleams just as brightly in your eyes, then it is your obligation to lay the stones that surround you now.”
