2014 Senior Rep | Elie

I’ve been so blessed this year with an AMAZING group of Senior Reps! Each one of them has their own personality and uniqueness!  With that being said, I will be conducting interviews with my 2014 Senior Reps throughout the year and “spotlighting” them each week on the CHP blog. The lucky person chosen for this week is Miss Elie!

What High School do you attend?
Hammond

Are you planning on attending college after you graduate? If so, where do you want to go and what will your major be?
Yes sir, I plan on attending Wofford College or Clemson and I am torn between the majors of special education and criminal justice.

After college what are your plans?
I plan on persuading my dreams through the major I choose and later on settling down and starting a family.

How would you describe your fashion style?
I am more of a preppy modern but yet laid back type of dresser.

Do you have any nicknames? If so, what’s the story behind it?
Elie Belle – my favorite princess was Belle from beauty and the beast because she was so loving so my parents gave me her name too!
Bambi – way back when I was a flyer I was so floppy in the air that my team said I looked like a baby deer and gave me the name Bambi.

Complete the sentence, “To me, God’s love is…”
…overwhelmingly miraculous.

If you had to give a 10 minute speech in high school, what would it be about and WHY?
I would give a speech on the mission project that our church takes each summer in Hollywood, South Carolina.  The trip is so very inspiring and I could honestly talk about the trip for hours.

Who is your hero and WHY?
My step grandfather Guy Terrance is my hero because even though he was in World War II and saw horrific things, he was still so happy to be alive and to be apart of our family. I loved him very much and he cared for everyone he met.

If you could go back in time for one day, what day would you choose and WHY?
When I was in the ought grade my father and I rode horseback into Yellowstone National Park and it was beautiful.  The experience was amazing and the bond my dad and I formed became inseparable.

What is your least favorite food and WHY?
I am a very picky eater and don’t like a lot of foods.  But I really really don’t like the consistency of chunky yogurt and soggy bread.

Fill in the blank…what’s your favorite:
Bumper Sticker Slogan: Lights out for Sea Turtles
Birthday Memory: My best friends threw me a surprise sweet 16!! It was so cute!
Unusual Food Combination: I actually don’t like my food to touch at all or mix flavors.
Book: Wildwood Dancing and Wenny has Wings

What do you like most about Craig Hewitt Photography and WHY?
I like the bonds that form between girls and boys who wouldn’t usually have become friends because I think meeting new people is a great way to become a better person.

Thanks Elie Belle, Bambi Elie for being YOU! You are an outstanding individual and a perfect fit for a CHP Senior Rep!

2014 Senior Rep | Grace

I’ve been so blessed this year with an AMAZING group of Senior Reps! Each one of them has their own personality and uniqueness!  With that being said, I will be conducting interviews with my 2014 Senior Reps throughout the year and “spotlighting” them each week on the CHP blog. The lucky person chosen for this week is Miss Grace!

What High School do you attend?
Hammond School

Are you planning on attending college after you graduate? If so, where do you want to go and what will your major be?
Yes, I would like to attend Clemson University and major in Pre-professional health.

After college what are your plans?
After college I hope to become a physical therapist for kids and teens. Both my brother and sister have needed physical therapy and they are my inspiration for this career.

How would you describe your fashion style?
My fashion style is Southern and Preppy. I love bright colors and pretty patterns.  My favorite piece of clothing is white shorts because I can pair any cute top with it!

Do you have any nicknames? If so, what’s the story behind it?
When I was little my Dad used to call me “Petunia” which he later shortened to “Tunia”. Only my family calls me this but its definitely my favorite nickname. Also my friends call me “Gras” which is their own shortened version of Grace. I can’t remember how that one got started but now it’s just my name!

Complete the sentence, “To me, God’s love is…”
To me, God’s love is comforting and unfailing. I know God has already made a great plan for my life and whenever I am worried about something I put my trust in Him. He never fails.

If you could invent one thing what would it be and WHY?
If i could invent something it would be a teleporter. I am very impatient and long car rides or plane rides make me wish I had a teleporter. It would make traveling so much easier!

What do you usually do when you’re alone in the car and WHY?
When I’m alone in the car I lip sync to my music and sometimes even dance; I look ridiculous but it entertains me!

What would I find inside of your refrigerator right now? (Be specific)
Zoe’s Chicken Salad! I’ve been told that I eat this stuff like it’s my job which is definitely true.

What is your biggest pet peeve and WHY?
My biggest pet peeve is when people whisper to themselves in class. I don’t know why it bothers me so much but it makes my skin crawl.

Fill in the blank…what’s your favorite:

April Fool’s Prank You’ve Pulled: I once pretended that I lost my brother while I was babysitting him on April Fool’s Day. My mom didn’t think it was as funny as we did.
Tradition:  Every Christmas Eve my parents let me and my siblings each pick one present to open. I love Christmas  and this tradition is definitely something I look forward to.
Board Game:  Can it be card game?! I have many favorite card games but no favorite board games.
Soup: Chicken Noodle

What do you like most about Craig Hewitt Photography and WHY?
The pictures are all so beautiful, but my favorite thing about CHP is the chance to meet new people! There are many people from different schools that I would never get the chance to meet if it weren’t for this experience. Sometimes I can be shy but all of my fellow Senior Reps are so friendly and fun to talk to.

Thanks Petunia, Tunia, Gras Grace for being YOU! You are an outstanding individual and a perfect fit for a CHP Senior Rep!
