“Ethics is an important part of my life because of the things that I have seen God do throughout the years of my life. He has been so good to me and I am so blessed.” –Carter Hancock

Carter Hancock is a 2024 graduate of Wheelersburg High School in Wheelersburg, Ohio. He’s pursuing a degree in healthcare administration this fall at Mount Vernon Nazarene University in Mount Vernon, Ohio.

“Ethics is crucial in my life because it guides me in making decisions that align with my moral principles and values. It helps me navigate complex situations, maintain integrity, & build trust with others.” –Halle Heagen

Halle Heagen is a member of the class of 2024 at Kings High School in Kings Mill, Ohio. She will be attending Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio, to study mechanical engineering in the fall.

“As I am entering into the world of nursing, ethics are so important so that I can provide empathetic care to every patient & create a trusting environment. Ethics will guide my decisions so that my patients can get the best care possible.” –Izzy Heimkreiter

Elizabeth “Izzy” Heimkreiter is a ‘24 William Henry Harrison High School graduate in Harrison, Ohio. This fall, she plans to begin post-secondary studies in the nursing program at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio.

“When it comes to knowing what decisions to make and when to make them, ethics plays a crucial role in determining how we respond to certain situations. In this way, ethics acts as the compass that guides us throughout our daily lives.” –Joshua Zyzak
