Osiris
Osiris graduated from Jefferson West High School and grew up in Meriden, Kansas. Osiris was involved with the National Honors Society and was a varsity athlete for football, wrestling and track. Osiris was 11 years old when he lost his father, Quinton, to Colorectal Cancer in November 2020 just weeks after being diagnosed. Quinton was also diagnosed with COVID before his death, limiting the time his family could spend with him while he was quarantined. Osiris remembers his father through their shared love of sports where he learned to wrestle and become a football player, though the biggest lessons Osiris learned from his dad he remembers outside of sports. Osiris’ dad taught him that he is always in control of his effort and his attitude, something Osiris carries with him daily. Osiris plans to attend Pittsburg State University where he will play football and study Exercise Science with the goal of eventually becoming a Physical Therapist.

Bella is proud of her academic accomplishments as well as she was twice awarded with Academic All-State. Bella lost her mom, Heather, to multiple myeloma, in October 2020 when Bella was 12 years old. Bella remembers her mom as a hardworking woman who was the Chief Nursing Officer of a major hospital and was always putting others before herself both in her career and as a loving mom. Bella believes her independence, empathy, resilience and discipline were shaped by the loss of her mother. Bella and her family have used these skills to help build a scholarship in honor of her mom that provides scholarships for aspiring nurses, in her mother’s honor.
