EXAMPLES

Gracen Loraine Aldaya
Edinburg, Texas

Writing is my passion, books my lifeblood, and music my escape. I see life as a scavenger hunt for deep truths, wisdom, and beauty. Loyalty, sincerity, and ambition are my highest ideals. My dream is to write novels, speeches, movie scripts, Bible studies and anything else I can dream up. Above all, I want my life to matter. I have been blessed beyond description by faith, family and friends, much more than I know or deserve. I have been accepted and plan to attend Hillsdale College, MI. I will reside in a log cabin deep in the woods in the company of 20 cats.

Abigail Jennifer Collinsworth
Charleston, South Carolina

Make it a rule of life never to regret and never to look back. Regret is an appalling waste of energy, you can’t build on it, and it’s only good for wallowing in. —Katherine Mansfield

I am  the daughter of Debra and Jeffrey Collinsworth and have one brother. I volunteer regularly at church, and love sports, debate, and baking. My favorite CC memory is of meeting one of my best friends in Challenge A. I plan to study biology at Clemson University in the fall to prepare for medical school.
