Ashlyn Cullifer - Top 15
1.If you could make one rule that everyone in the world had to follow, what would it be?
1. I have a very close family, and we are all very involved in each other’s lives. One special person that completes my family is my three year old brother, Braxton. Watching him grow and being able to teach him new things about life is an unmeasurable blessing. Even though we are very distant in age, we always seem to meet in the middle and share a very unique relationship.
2.If you could have any superpower, what would it be?
2. I recently wrote and delivered a thesis to my peers that required a minimum amount of two thousand and five hundred words with a ten minute speech. I prepared this paper my entire junior year, and it was solely based on The Motivation to Volunteer. Through this paper I was able to share and defend my belief that all volunteering stems from the heart.
3.When do you feel a child or teen becomes an adult?
3. Something a lot of people do not know about me is that I play softball for six years. This not only taught me how to lead others, but it also taught me how to encourage others. My “love for the game” is what connects me to my platform, The Miracle League Program.
4.What do you feel you have learned in life that will be the most useful?
4. I have been actively working with The Miracle League Program for over two years, and through these experiences each child with special needs that I have encountered have each taught me valuable life lessons. Their patience and positivity is contagious, and no matter what obstacle they face giving up is never an option.
5.What do you feel is the hardest job in the world and why?
5. I have always been the type of person that is constantly creating a better version of myself, while also seeking out different ways to impact others. Through reading Sarah Dessen books, I have been able to relate to different scenarios that characters in her books overcome and learn the powerful meaning of always staying true to myself.
