Parents: Jason and Laura Thomsen
School(s) attended K-8: St. Michael’s
Favorite place on campus: My favorite place to be is in the chapel, because I know I can go there and just sit in the presence of Jesus and I find a sense of peace being in there and knowing that God has everything under control.
Activities at Pius X: Student Council, Campus Ministry, and Future Healthcare Leaders
What is/was your favorite class at Pius X, and why? My favorite classes in high school have been science classes, specifically anatomy and chemistry. These two classes helped me to find my passion and helped me to decide what I wanted to do with my future.
How has your faith journey evolved during your time at our school? Are there particular experiences or programs that have significantly impacted your spiritual growth? My faith journey has come a long way from the start of high school and I am now in a place where I am filled with so much peace. I have fallen in love with my faith and become best friends with Jesus. The best thing that helped me with this was the opportunities I had to go on retreats and take time away to be truly present with Jesus.
What are you most proud of about your time at Pius X? Throughout my time as Pius I have grown into the best version of myself, with meeting new people, learning new things, challenging myself, and strengthening my faith life.
Where are your plans after high school (college, military, job, etc.)? What do you plan to study? I plan on attending Wichita State University majoring in chemistry on a premed track.
