Who were your role models growing up? Who inspires you today? Growing up I was inspired by Steve and Bindi Irwin. Today I look up to my Pawpaw and Mawmaw Hammond, my dad, and Great Grandma Hooley.
What do you consider your biggest life accomplishment so far? My biggest life accomplishment is going down to Hoosier Girls State and running for Nationalist State Party Treasurer. My goal was to be a delegate, so I furthered my goal last minute while I was down there. It was a spur of the moment thing, but I'm thankful I did it. I had to do a time limit of a minute speech telling the audience why I would be the best candidate and get their votes. I achieved this goal, and this made me more confident in myself and public speaking.
What impressions do you hope you've made as a scholar, athlete, and/or member of the community? I hope to make a positive impression on my community. A person who is hardworking, an achiever, but also someone who came out successful through personal life challenges.
Do you have any special talents? I'm a pretty good dancer.
What's something interesting that most people don't know about you? I still have a baby tooth and had braces for 4 years
If you won an all-expenses-paid trip to anywhere in the world, where would you go? Australia
If you had 2 hours every week to do anything you wanted, what would it be and why? I would dance on a big stage because I love dancing and I've danced since I was little.
Is there anyone you would like to thank or give a shoutout to? My grandparents Gerral & Patricia Hammond and my dad Shawn Hooley
Anything else you would like to share about yourself, your class, hopes, dreams..... ? My hope is that the class of 2020 will all come out stronger and better than ever. We WILL be the class remembered. We got 2020 Vision!
