The Community Foundation for Crawford County is pleased to introduce Kaylyn Risner, a 2022 recipient of one of the two Rollie & Esther Wilson Scholarship awards.
Kaylyn is a 2022 graduate of Colonel Crawford High School. She will be attending North Central State College this fall and studying Respiratory Therapy.
What inspired you to choose your intended major?
"What inspired me to do this major was because I love helping people. Since COVID hit I have seen a low in health care workers, and that is not fair to the people that need help if they have no one there to help them. Coming to this major was not my first choice at all. I looked at different majors in the medical field, and something about this one sparked my mind. I want to give back to the people that need it.
What are your career and life goals after you graduate?
"My career goals after I graduate is to find a job right away. I want to start working right out of college in this profession. It is a really big goal of mine because if I have the degree I might as well put it to some good use. A couple of years into it, I want to move out of my parents' house on my own and buy a house and start a family. I also think I want to take pictures on the side because that is something else I am very passionate about."
Congratulations and good luck in the future, Kaylyn!
