Kendall Grider is a young woman with her eyes on the future and her feet on the ground. Her ambition is refreshing in a time when so many teenagers don’t know what they want out of life.
Her post-high school plans are to continue her education at the college of her choice majoring in journalism, special education, or landscaping. With such solid plans for her future, one can easily see why it is highly likely that she will succeed in all of her endeavors.
Kendall was quick to say that she greatly admires her mother due to her strength of character. Kendall admires her mother because of her courageous nature and her great sense of what it takes to work hard and accomplish.
Kendall, who is a diehard shoe lover, would go as far as to say that she could open a museum to display her vast collection of various styles of foot wear.
Kendall loves to read suspense novels and just so happens to own much of the Agatha Christie collection. Kendall loves the mystery genre so much that she is currently formulating a manuscript all her own. Her idol in the writing world is without a doudt Mary Higgins Clark
In addition to enjoying reading and writing, Kendall also likes rock as well country and contemporary. Kendall plays the guitar, which she does just for the enjoyment of playing. In addition to these interests, Kendall also likes to play pool and cruise with her friends.
Kendall is a determined young woman who never gives up on any aspect in her life. It’s no wonder she has accomplished so much in such a short time.
According to Kendall, she is a woman of great extremes when it comes her emotional side. She can be at the highest highs and fall straight to the lowest lows. Kendall’s birthday falls on March the nineteenth, which is the last day of winter, making her a Pisces. Being a pisces makes Kendall a dreamer with enough emotional attachent to those dreams to make them become a reality.
Michelle Harris, much like Kendall, has solid hopes for her future as well as the abilities needed to get her where she is going.
Goals that Michelle has placed high on her list include going to college and playing soccer. She would also like to save money earned working at Texas Roadhouse for an apartment in the near future.
Michelle credits her father for these good ambitions due to his responsible and hardworking personality. It is because of his encouraging, not demanding, ways that Michelle has been able to shine as an individual in every aspect of her life.
Another peron whom she looks up to is her brother who is going to college and working hard at keeping his grades high. Michelle wishes to follow his example and excel in her academic endeavors.
When she isn’t working hard or laying down the groundwork for her future, Michelle can be found cruising in her baby blue Geo Prism, singing along to Eminem, moving her head to the rap beat that she enjoys. Michelle also likes to record her thoughts in a journal and even write stories.
Michelle also enjoys lunching with her best friends Emma Hunt, Mandy Trogden and Erica Wilson., sharing jokes and laughing at the jokes that they share.
Michelle has acheived many accomplishments in the sporting realm. Michelle made the all-district soccer team, attained the coaches award, and she even lettered in soccer during her freshmen year. Nonsporting accomplishments include making the A-B honor roll for her hard work and superb study habits.
Michelle enjoys the drama genre of movies but strives to keep it out of her life. Some favorite movies include Riding in Cars With Boys and Titanic. Her choice for favorite actors and actresses include Tom Hanks, Ashley Judd and Meg Ryan .
Being a Scorpio, Michelle is a mellow and low-strung young lady who can handle her problems with finnesse. She has a natural quiet and easygoing nature which masks her hardcore strength of character and her intense, competitive need to be prosperous in every portion of her life.
