Student spotlight: Shelbi Cheatham - proof is in achievement Dream of becoming a registered nurse with a four year degree, can be realized by talented, active Adair County High School student, just three years after she graduates with her ACHS Class of 2015 - thanks to Indian University and Lindsey Wilson College. Click on headline for story wih photo(s) By Shamarie Claiborne, Media Coordinator Adair County School District, 1204 Greensburg Street, Columbia, KY I have always heard the saying "the proof is in the pudding" – but for Adair County High School Senior Shelbi Cheatham the proof is in the achievement! Shelbi is one of the pilot students involved with Indian University at ACHS this year. Last year, the top 30 juniors were given the opportunity to have a different kind of senior year, with more flexibility than ever dreamed of, in the history of the school. Students enrolled in "Indian U" have been allowed to take classes at both the high school, and the college of their choice, during the regular school day. Dreams of becoming a registered nurse For Shelbi, who dreams of becoming a Registered Nurse, the logical answer was to take as many classes as possible at Lindsey Wilson College while finishing high school. Currently, Shelbi is taking four classes at Lindsey, one class at ACHS, and continues to be a member of the ACHS Varsity Cheerleading Squad. When Shelbi finishes her current schedule in the spring she will not only graduate ACHS but start LWC in August as a sophomore. Yet the most impressive fact about Shelbi’s success is that she will be eligible to apply for Lindsey Wilson’s Nursing Program this coming March while still a senior in high school. Schedule is challenging, she says, and can be stressful at times When I asked Shelbi about starting college early and how this year has been different than the rest of her academic career, she said “It is challenging, I have to work hard, and I won’t lie, it is a little stressful at times. But if I continue to work hard, hopefully, I will graduate from Lindsey with my Nursing Degree three years after graduating from high school, which would make it worth it, in the end. “ Focused outlook increases he odds of reaching her goals 100 fold For those who haven’t had the pleasure of meeting Shelbi she is graceful and well spoken. But more than anything, she is focused, which increases the odds of her reaching her goals 100 fold. The district looks forward to sharing other success stories throughout the year. But Shelbi is one of our first and we could not be prouder. I am sure her parents Bryan and Tiffany would agree with us when we say - Keep up the good work Shelbi! - Shamarie Claiborne, Adair County Board of Education, District Migrant Recruiter / Media Promotions / Technology.
