Senior Chris King, a determined young man, averaged 42 hours a week at Fast Track to pay his EHS tuition. Chris began working a daily six hour shift after school and weekends his sophomore year. Monetary problems put Chris' family in a financial crunch; he had the option of attending Woodlawn High School or paying his own way through Episcopal. Chris chose to graduate from EHS. Chris gets home most school nights after 11 p.m., yet he still finds time to hit the books. His theory: I'm paying for it; I might as well study. From his job Chris learned what a lot of people are gonna learn when they get out of high school ... responsibility. Hopefully. It's what life's all about, said Chris. Chris' grades began to slip around January of this year, and his mom offered to help him out. Chris only works 25 hours a week now, and he still does odd jobs like cutting grass and cleaning his mom's office. To earn enough money for college, Chris plans to work next year as a Fast Track manager. He w-ould eventually like to become a veterinarian and will most likely attend LSU. Outside of work, Chris shows a love for animals. At one time he claims to have owned a zoo. He had the usual dogs and cats, but he also had a ferret, snakes, parakeets and turtles. Chris also shows a love for the outdoors; he enjoys hunting and fishing. Although, he admits, I haven't had much time to do those things. 83
