The Septuplets Go on Different Career Paths
Even though the family declined any press coverage in the week before the graduation, they talked with the press after the event, and let the entire world know their plans for the future. They shared their dreams with NBC News and stated that they thought it would be good for them to go on their separate ways from now on, after 18 years of living together and going to school together. “It will definitely be different and weird, but I feel that it will be good for us to get out of our comfort zone and meet new people,” Kelsey said.

On the other side of the barricade, their parents Bobbi and Kenny had opinions of their own regarding the seven siblings leaving the nest. “It will be weird at first,” their father said. “It will be easier in the sense of (less) groceries and more freedom to do things, but harder in the sense of wondering how each is doing with classes, basic training and just daily concern for his or her well-being.”
The septuplets were confident they had the right skills for entering adulthood thanks to their parents who did their best to teach them everything there is to know about what expects them outside the family while shielding them from the public the best they could. In the words of Kelsey: “I think that we are extremely prepared and know what we are going into from the guidance from our parents. They have taught us well, and from not having all the fame that we could have had, we have learned to be normal and to live life and just be a normal family.”
