Senior Alison Bodine has been impacted by English teacher Emma Walker. “(Walker) has always believed in me,”  Bodine said. Bodine’s grandma and eldest brother have also played a huge roll in her high school years. She said they were the most influential people during high school years. Her grandma is also her role model.

Bodine is most proud of the fact she took year-round schooling to graduate a year early; she never gave up. She plans on taking online classes to become a nurse practitioner after graduation. She decided to major in nursing because it has always been an interest of hers.

Bodine enjoys reading good books, a fresh set of nails, sushi and her best friend, fellow senior Jaicee Peckenpaugh. Bodine’s top 3 favorite books are “I Wrote This For You,” “Crank,” and “18 Years.” She is also a former AHS cheerleader. If she could “re-do” one thing in life, she would go back to freshman year and participate in more sports.

She hasn’t always been an Atlantic Trojan, though; Bodine moved to Atlantic the summer before 6th grade, from Great Bend, Kansas. There, she had attended the Lincoln Elementary School. Her family made the move due to a job transfer.

Bodine is the daughter of Robert and Anna Bodine. She has two older brothers, Robby and Juan, and a cat, Mischief. If she had $1 million, she would buy her parents a house somewhere where they’d be the most happy. In the future, Bodine hopes to be far away from this small town. Bodine would like her classmate’s to remember her as, “always happy.”
