Individual Crossroads Reflections

Taunya Hilfrink

Crossroads Class of 1984

Crossroads set the stage that allowed me to be successful in my life. I gained confidence in myself; I learned to form my opinions and take some risks. The teachers pushed me, and I pushed myself to meet the high expectations. More importantly, it was a safe place where differences were embraced and we could become ourselves. I was at Crossroads 7th – 12th and I graduated in 1984. I went to college right after in Olympia, WA, graduated in 1988 and have lived in Seattle ever since. I am so grateful for my time at Crossroads and the people who helped me grow!
