Olive Koslovsky (‘26) is excited to begin her journey to a successful future working with her biggest passion, animals, meeting new people, and growing herself.
Olive is planning to start her post-high school education at a two-year community college, then transferring to Colorado State University (CSU) for animal science. She plans on starting as a veterinary technician after college, then working her way up to eventually owning her own clinic.
Olive has been told her whole life that she’s very understanding of people’s feelings, leading her to originally wanting to be a therapist, or to work in another profession involving psychology. Through the several pets she’s owned, though, she’s found comfort in the logic behind everything animals do, something humans don’t have consistently.
“There’s logic behind what [animals] do, because everything is instinctual.”
Her favorite memories she’s made in high school involve choir and Journalism, meeting good mentors and joining and growing in a community. Olive has been in choir for all three years she has attended Mead High School, and she even was in choir at her middle school. She joined Journalism this year, and the mentors and memories she’s made in both are unforgettable.
Olive wishes she could tell the underclassman to learn self-discipline as soon as possible.
“Learning self-discipline is important. You can’t just sit there and do nothing while you wait for instructions.”
Olive cannot wait for her future to come, excitement and nerves around meeting new people and starting adulthood surrounding her mind. Through it all, Olive knows she’ll always remember Ms. Hedlun, who taught her how to be confident in her writing and pushed her to join Journalism. Olive also knows she’ll always live through her mom, who pushed her to be the kind and caring person we all know today.
