Sanai

Oasis Academy College Prep Senior Sanai Barnes will graduate this May with both her high school diploma and her Associate of Arts from Western Nevada College. The senior plans to stay local and continue into the WNC Nursing Program. 

“I would like to go into nursing because I find the human body fascinating, and I want to learn more about it. I would also like to help people, and I feel I could learn a lot from studying nursing." said Barnes.

Barnes’ time at Oasis has included being active in extracurricular activities. “My favorite memories at Oasis were having fun playing basketball and getting into the regional honor choir twice!” She has also participated in ceramics and volleyball. 

The fun and lessons have not just been through extracurriculars. She’s enjoyed all of what Oasis has to offer. “I started at Oasis at the beginning of seventh grade. It’s been a lot of fun and even though it’s a small school, I never really felt enclosed. My favorite class was Mr. Evan Brandt’s Geometry class. I loved the projects we had to do. He made the class interactive and entertaining,” added Barnes.

“I would also like to thank Mrs. Angela Viera. As a teacher, she helped me realize that I can do more than I think I can, and to not doubt myself.”

“My advice for future students is that the little things matter and because of that start good habits now to help you in your future,” finished Barnes.
