My name is Shalyn Whittemore, and I am currently a senior at Oil City High School. I am an honors student with a 4.0 GPA and have worked hard over the past four years to maintain this accelerated pathway. I am involved in various clubs and activities such as National Honor Society, Leadership Council, High School Varsity Softball, and I am currently a student ambassador for the Venango County Department of Veterans Affairs. My future ambitions include attending the University of Pittsburgh to obtain a bachelor's degree in nursing before returning to school to eventually become a nurse practitioner. I one day hope to work in a setting that specifically assists veterans, as I have dedicated my time to this community throughout high school.
