Rian Dotson is the son of Lynlee and Jason Dotson. He plans to attend Missouri State University to study and protect the natural life on this planet. His favorite memory is seeing the difference between his sophomore and junior picture. His advice to students is, “It’s ok if you don’t know who you are yet. It took me seventeen years to figure out what gender I am and I’m still discovering things about myself. So what if it’s a phase? The moon has phases and we don’t question it. Do what makes you happy, even if that means taking a nap. We get so little time in this life so make it yours.”
