Graduating high school
Then there was this moment which again made the family a headline for various newspapers. The event was the graduation of Kenny and Bobbi’s seven children from Carlisle High School in May 2016. It was a very emotional and nostalgic moment for them seeing their children in black and red graduation gowns “It’s sad to see things end,” Bobbi told Today, “but there will be lots of firsts coming.”
Goals and aspirations for each one
Interestingly, all seven of the septuplets have different goals and aspirations in their lives. For example, Nathan has a strong interest in science and is hoping to pursue a career in that field eventually. Alexis was the top of her high school and wants to become a teacher one day. Kelsey, the smallest of all the babies, has a passion for music and wants to continue to study it in college. Every single child, however, all has a goal for the future.
Different career paths for all siblings
As mentioned, each septuplet has a different goal and aspiration. Other than Alexis and Natalie, who both want to become teachers one day. Joel wants to work in a field to do with computer science, and Kenny Jr. has a passion for the construction industry. Each of the seven children has all made their own choices in life, along with the help of their parents and their older sister. And it’s interesting to see how unique each one is.
Free university places
When they were first born, the septuplets were offered an extraordinary opportunity – scholarships for the Hannibal-LaGrange University in Missouri. In fact, the State of Iowa offered them full scholarships to any state university of their choosing, too! Only four of the septuplets accepted the generous offer from Hannibal-LaGrange, however; Natalie, Nathan, Kelsey, and Joel. Each sibling is now studying to fulfill their aspirations.
Des Moines college
Both Kenny and Alexis decided that the best place for them was at their local college in Des Moines. Kenny Jr. is attending the college in order to carve out his career in the construction industry. Alexis, on the other hand, is learning all she can to become a teacher. She graduated at the top of her high school, despite battling cerebral palsy, but wanted to stay close to her home for further learning.
Joining the military
Brandon was very different from his siblings when it came to choosing their career’s path. He chose to join the United States Army as this was the thing he had been dreaming of since his childhood. He was so obsessed that he would purchase all the things related to the army from a very small age of three. It was for the exact reason that he made a decision of not taking a full scholarship.
