Senior spotlight… Lindsey Aden

What are your plans after high school?

I hope to attend Stanford University to double major in political science and international relations before pursuing a degree in law.

What is your favorite thing about SJO?

The sense of community and togetherness at SJO amongst both the staff and the students is unlike anything you’ll find at another school.

Who is your biggest inspiration?

My mom has shown me what it means to be a hardworking, Christian woman her entire life, and there is no one better I could aspire to be.

In 10 years where do you see yourself?

In ten years, I picture myself prospering at the heart of the political scene in our country, while also managing a happy home life with my husband and four kids. 

What is your favorite class at SJO?
