her story
Carly loves attending Tallassee High School because of how
small the community is. She shared, “I love that everyone
knows each other and we support one another through everything.”
At her school, she is a member of the concert and
marching band, DIVAS Show Choir, Women’s Choir, Yearbook
Staff, National Honor Society, Mu Alpha Theta, and is a THS
Majorette. She is a Majorette captain and has been baton-twirling
since she was three years old. Carly is also a DIVAS Dance
Captain and Yearbook Editor. She shared, “I want to be remembered
as a friend to everyone who always had a hard work ethic
and remained true to her Christian faith.”
what’s next
After high school, Carly wants to pursue a profession in the
medical field. Since she was a little girl, she was always intrigued
by the healthcare field.
PG (parental guidance) rating
Carly shared her appreciation for her parents by saying, “The
constant encouragement and support that my family gives me
is definitely one of the biggest reasons that makes me proud
of my family.” The best advice she ever received was from her
mom who has told her ever since she was young, ‘You can do
whatever you want if you believe in yourself and stay confident
in yourself.”
parents’ perspective
Carly’s parents expressed, “She is an amazing daughter and we
admire her determination, work ethic, integrity, and her character.
She is strong in her faith and has a big heart. She makes her own
decisions and does not have to follow the crowd. Her willingness to
work hard to achieve her dreams is truly inspiring. She has set goals
and she is determined to make it happen.”
parent-to-parent
Clint and Jennifer Hornsby gave this advice to other
parents, “Many life disappointments will happen, but
how we react is more important. I always remind her of bible verses
or quotes to help her with life’s challenges. Keep your child growing
in their Christian walk.”
