her story: Carrie doesn’t hesitate to take the lead when it comes to things she cares about. She shares, “I am captain of the varsity cheerleading team, I am on the core team at my youth group, and I am also part of the executive counsel in Spirit Club.” She has been on the varsity softball team since seventh grade, and the varsity cheer team since tenth grade; she recently began playing varsity basketball. She adds, “I was named an All-American cheerleader at cheer camp, and was an All-Metro honorable mention for softball. For both softball and basketball, I have received multiple sportsmanship and coaches awards.” In all that she does, Carrie wants to be remembered as “being a friend, and someone who always uses kind words to make others feel welcome.”
what’s next: Carrie shares, “I want to be a mother and work as an elementary school teacher because I love kids. Ever since I was little, I always admired the thought of being a teacher. Now that I am about to finish high school, I have to start thinking about careers, and teaching is sticking out to me more and more. I have always loved children, and look forward to having a big family of my own. I figured that I can use my love for children in teaching elementary school.”
