It’s high school graduation season for thousands of Central Indiana students, so WFYI thought it’d be fitting to sit down with graduating seniors from several area high schools to talk about their thoughts on life during and after high school.

We’ll be hearing parts of their conversation throughout the month.

The students are: Bobby Greaser, Carmel High School; Kyle Castner, Ben Davis High School in Wayne Township; Cori Concepcion, Herron High Charter School; and  Nick Hornedo, Park Tudor School.

Part 1 Students talk about who helped them succeed and their fears about the future.

Part 2 In this second part of that roundtable discussion, they discuss breaking that millennial stereotype, addressing social issues, and what it’s like being seen as a leader at a large high school.
