2016’s 20 Under 20: Serai Barton, Christian Fellowship School

 Serai-Barton-20-under-20

Serai Barton, 17, Christian Fellowship School

 

Post-graduation plans:

I will be doing a lot of traveling this summer, as current plans are to spend time in South Dakota and Virginia before taking a tour of Europe with my grandparents. I will then be kicking off my college career at Mizzou in August.

Favorite class in high school:

Math — one of my teachers in particular made it fun, but I like that there is always a definite right or wrong answer.

Proudest accomplishment in high school:

My high school soccer team won the MCSAA state championship the last two years. I loved how we came together and fought until the end. My high school soccer career was highlighted by being selected as an All-State performer all four years.

Biggest lesson learned in high school:

That my successes and achievements are a result of giving my best effort, always working hard, and persevering, but more importantly, having people around to love and support me. Regardless of whether life is easy or difficult, I never want to walk through it alone.

Future goals:

I just graduated! I need a little breather. I don’t really have any grand goals . . . yet. I am 17 and have a little time to get some things figured out.

What you do for fun:

I LOVE to read. One of my favorite things to do is to get lost in a big bookstore. Hours can fly by as I look at all the wonderful books and wonder which one I should read next. I also love my friends and the time spent with them.
