Campus in Aledo. In addition to
excelling academically, Brittin stands
out among her peers for her leader-
ship abilities, extracurricular involve-
ment, and desire to serve others.
She serves and supports the Bearcats
through the athletic trainer program,
attending practices and games for
several different sports, including
football, soccer, and baseball.
She is an active member of the
Leading Ladies, a philanthropic
organization for young women at
Aledo High School, which focuses
on growing and inspiring young
women to be leaders in the commu-
nity and beyond. One example of
service that Brittin has completed
with the Leading Ladies group is
helping prepare and serve a spaghetti
dinner to raise money for scholar-
ships donated by the Aledo Education
Foundation this spring. She also
serves with Friends of Rachel, an
organization at her school that focus-
es on showing kindness to others
and reaching out to welcome new
students at the campus.
Outside of school, Brittin dedi-
cates her time to working with
special needs students at Camp
Summit in the summers, volunteering
at the Center of Hope, and leading
worship at her church, all of which
she immensely enjoys. She has
participated in several international
mission trips, including multiple trips
to Jamaica and Canada. In a few
weeks, she is traveling to India to
serve for a week during spring break.
While there, she will be working
with orphans in a children’s home,
ministering to widows from the local
villages, and visiting people suffer-
ing with leprosy. Brittin clearly has
a heart for service and is making an
impact in our community and around
the world.
Brittin is the daughter of Bryan
and Julie Choate of Hudson
Oaks. She has an older brother and
best friend, Ben, who is a senior at
AHS.
“Music is a huge part of her life,
and she loves to sing while playing
the piano or guitar, especially when
she can sing with Ben. Outside of
school, she enjoys hanging out with
her family and friends, shopping, and
just being an everyday teenager,” her
mom said. Brittin has a special spiri-
tual connection and says, “I believe
God has given me the ability and
called me by name to love others in
a way that is different than the world
is used to. The things I do are simply
a response to that calling.” Her plans
are to pursue a degree and a career
in nursing after graduating in 2022.
