Coming to you from Kilgore High School, your September student of the month Caroline Adams is currently Student Body Vice President and has also been Junior Class President, a yearbook design editor for 3 years, and Prom Committee secretary. She has also earned many awards in various organizations such as Yearbook for Best All Around, Best Writer, Best Designer, and Best Photographer. Caroline’s awards don’t just stop there, she also serves as a leader on Fellowship of Christian Students, was a Sophomore and Junior Beauty, was the Student Council Princess, and has placed in the VASE art competition.
Throughout Caroline’s high school experience, her proudest accomplishment is becoming an amazing version of herself that she loves.
“I am proud of the person I have become because of the clubs/ organizations I have been a part of,” Caroline said. “Being in the yearbook has made me get out of my comfort zone, being in Student Council has made me a leader and help others, and being Student Body Vice President has made me do things I never would’ve imagined doing. I can now say I am a completely different person who loves to get out of my comfort zone!”
Outside of school, Caroline is very involved in her church and when asked what her favorite activity is outside of school, church was the answer without any hesitation.
“I am a part of my church’s worship team,” Caroline said. “I have done it for three years and have loved every bit of it! It is constantly getting me out of my comfort zone. I love worshipping the Word and being a part of something so special.”
Through her years at KHS, the one person she knows she can turn to for anything is Brandi Parrish. She has taught her so much and helped her have a stronger relationship with God and with everything in her life.
“Mrs.Parrish has pushed me outside of my comfort zone and she has also been a second mom,” Caroline said. “I call her my ‘life coach’ because she’s always cheering me on and giving me advice when needed.”
Thinking back on everything that has happened in the last four years, Caroline will miss plenty of things that came with KHS such as Bulldog Blessings and Battle of the Badges.
After high school, Caroline plans to attend the University of Mary Hardin Baylor with her sister because whenever she goes to visit her the atmosphere feels like home to her.
“I want to major in Christian Studies or ministry,” Caroline said. “I also plan on getting a minor in graphic design to pursue my calling in glorifying the Lord through graphic design.”
Caroline’s life has been filled with ups and downs but she never let that define her as a person. Although life seems to be moving fast now she wishes she could take time and go back and talk to Jack Stone if she was given the opportunity.
“I would probably sit down and talk to Jack Stone (a student in my class who passed away a year ago). We would just talk about life! He was such a good friend to anyone and everyone and I loved that about him,” Caroline said.
