February Senior of the Month: Kyle Walborn

February's Senior of the Month, Kyle Walborn, sponsored by OhioMeansJobs of Champaign County

Congratulations to the February Senior of the Month, Kyle Walborn, sponsored by OhioMeansJobs of Champaign County. Kyle is a senior at Triad High School. Learn a little more about him and his accomplishments below!

School Activities and Awards:  
Played baseball, football, and wrestled. Have lettered in football and wrestling.  
 
Favorite school memory:  
​My favorite memory was this year's wrestling season. This was probably the highlight of my high school career in sports.
​

People who have been an inspiration to me & why: 
My grandpa Charles has always been a big inspiration to me. I took every lesson he gave me about building and tried my best to keep ahold of that. He has made me love contracting and has inspired me to become a contractor just like him.
 
Lately, I have been reading: 
1984 in English class and to be honest it isn't that bad. It's a dystopian book about this big brother government that controls everything you do. Well, the main character Winston isn't one to believe in the government that is controlling him.
 
 
My advice to parents:  
Be stern but not a dictator. Let your kid be a kid. Always show love and try to understand where they're coming from. Being able to talk to your kids about issues freely without yelling at them makes a big difference to the life your kid will have and how they treat their children in the future. Life is too short to just yell at your kids.
 
 
My biggest regret:  
Not giving everything I got in my sports last year. Who knew my wrestling season would get taken away by a broken leg?
 
 
Next year I will be:  
Working out in Honda to gain money to get my contracting business started, hopefully, within the next few years.
