Lauren Graehler
17 years old
Assumption High School
I believe that possessing character,
loyalty, and determination will get you
higher than any grade point
average.....In addition to my peers, I
want to inspire my elders into having
faith in the youth of America and that
there is great leadership in store for
our future.  Taking care of the
environment is a priority for Lauren. In
her lifetime she hopes society’s
dependence upon oil will be eliminated
with the further development of hybrid
cars and public transportation. She
sets high goals for herself too, earning
the opportunity to photograph
Kentucky Oaks 133 for the Kentucky
Derby Archives and writing a bill for the
Kentucky Youth Assembly on mountain-
top removal mining.
