Senior Model Profile–Conner

Conner Wysong is a senior at Holland Christian, where he is recognized as a leader on the lacrosse team. A camp counselor during the summer, Conner spends the school year keeping busy with sports and volunteer work at the men’s mission in Holland. He is a great public speaker.

Conner’s English teacher, Ms. Rooks, sent this fun letter about Conner to us:
“Conner Wysong is without a doubt one of the very most memorable students I have ever taught.  I’ve taught for over 25 years, and I’ve taught thousands, so what makes Conner among the most memorable?  Is it because he is so big-hearted, compassionate, and kind?  Is it because he has the most incredibly inquisitive and questioning mind?  Is it because he is funny, witty, good-humored and at times, even hilarious?  Is it because he is incredibly bright, always making connections, always willing to think out of the box with questions so many don’t even begin to articulate?  Is it because he is incredibly generous, sweet, and yet always humble? Is it because he has heart for the vulnerable and a passion for justice and the rightness of things? Is it because he has the best smile, with the brightest light shining from within? Is it because you can look into his eyes and see something so good, so wonderful, and so real, you can’t even say what it is, but you know it is there?
I have no clue which of these things makes Conner Wysong so memorable to me.  I only know all of these things are true about him, and I suspect that it’s the combination of all of these qualities, all rolled into one young man, that make Conner the person he is, a person I’ll always remember, as long as I live.”

Conner has an unmatched sense of humor and keeps people around him smiling. As a senior model for Embolden, he brought a fresh dose of fun to the mix. It’s not easy being one of the lone boys on our team, but Conner found his place and fit right in. We’re so glad you could join us this year, Conner, and we know you’ll be off to great things in your senior year!
