Eliana Jenson is the daughter of Cindy Jensen and Aaron Joseph Jensen. Throughout high school she was involved in Band, Choir, Robotics, Church Young Women’s Presidency, Church Institute. Her future plans are to get an online job to save up for a mission while living her best life with her best friend. What she’s looking forward to the most next year is getting to sleep. A teacher she’d like to thank would be, “Mrs. Schockmann, thank you for growing me musically. Choir was always a consistently fun class for me. Now that I look back on it, I can see all the progress I’ve made. I wouldn’t trade my time as your student for anything.” Her biggest achievement in high school was, “The friends I made. They’re the best.” Her best memory from high school was “Probably that time my freshman year I was performing for a marching band show at a competition but I snuck cheezits into my instrument so during what was like a 20-measure break I had myself a little snacky-snack. I didn’t really get to do it anymore after that, though, because I kept getting parts with itty bitty breaks and big-as-heck playing sections. What a bummer.” To celebrate the end of this era in her life, “I’ve been collecting every paper I’ve received throughout high school. I’m gonna burn it all in a big bonfire as soon as I get out of here.”
