“I have been doing gymnastics since I was six years old through the Hartland Gymnastics Academy. The competitions are always on weekends, we have one or two a month.The first thing I do when I get to a competition is warm-up. The coaches have their official meeting, and after the warm up we go to our events. We compete in front of three judges,after the routine you’re given a score. Over the years I have done a lot of competitions, it is an all-year sport. The higher level you go, the more advanced the skills get. In my gym, I am strongest on vault, so I usually take the lead on that. My favorite thing is having all my teammates supporting me. If you gain a new skill, they will always cheer you on. The coaches are there and they are also very supportive.”

"If there was one piece of advice I would give to others it would be to try to be happy. I think the key to life is happiness rather than successfulness. I just go day to day trying to improve, I don’t need a lot of money, I just want to be happy with what I have.”

"My biggest fear is being in a car crash during an ice storm. I was in a car crash when I was 19 in an ice storm, and I came within a foot of death. I got sucked underneath a semi, the semi ran over the car on top of a viddock and then the car got shot out of the viddock, hit the railing, where we all waited to die and we didn’t, we got pushed back onto the freeway and almost got hit again by the oncoming cars. I can still picture it in my head today.”

“My biggest influence is my sister, Kayla Barnard. She is 26 and graduated from Fenton in 2011. She is my biggest influence because she has gone through a lot of trial and error. Like all younger sisters, I grew up worshipping my older sister. She could do no wrong, and I want to be exactly like her. She is always so happy and cheerful and makes the best decisions for herself and her loved ones. She’s the perfect influence for me.”

“The biggest life lesson I’ve ever learned is that quality over quantity is true. Having a few really good friends has been so much better and made me so much happier than having an endless amount of friends who don’t really know me. I leaned it by growing up. I know I’m still so young but I can still reflect on where I’ve been. I apply this in my life by appreciating the right people.“

“My mom played the saxophone when she was younger, and she told me it was pretty easy which made me decide to try it. I started playing [the saxophone] in sixth grade and I’ve been playing ever since. I think it’s super interesting in how complex the instrument is and how far you can take it. I practice almost every SRT in the uniform room as long as I don’t have any homework. I hope to apply to Interlochen and make it into their school. My advice is, if you ever want to get into music, try it, it’s going to be hard at times but it’s more fun when you know all the skills.”

“At a very young age I started gymnastics and I learned a ton of different skills. Gymnastics transitioned into dance and I did dance and gymnastics for a really long time. From there I went onto competitive cheer, I’ve never done competitive cheer but I automatically made it onto varsity. Varsity cheer is really fun, it’s actually a lot harder than it looks, especially competitive cheer because we have to lift people up and throw them and then you’re getting throw yourself which makes for a lot of hard work to get to that point of trust with one another. Overall, I’m so happy I’m on the cheer team and with all of the relationships I’ve formed because of it.”

“Leading up to the blood drive, there’s a lot of work that goes into it as far as coordination and communication. When it comes to the day of, the blood drive is pretty self-sufficient, but it’s nice to see all of our hard work pay off and know that we put in work to such a great cause.”

"I'm leaving for a position where I think the job opportunity is better. The type of classes I will teach and the opportunities I will have are better at the other school, Waterford Kettering. My biggest concern is how the programs will run once I leave, that they will find someone to teach what I've been teaching. Part of the reason I am leaving is the change from the block scheduling to the six period block, less kids can take CADD due to how many elective slots there are. I don't know how much longer I'll be able to teach CADD with the scheduling change."

“(My trip to Mount Kilimanjaro) was really good but also really hard. It took seven days to climb, five to go up and two to come down. Everyday we would go to a different camp and make camp and spend the night, and as soon as the sun went down it would drop to 30 degrees but during the day it was really nice. The farther we went up the mountain the colder it got, so on summit night it was negative 20 at the top, so we had to wear seven layers. Summit night was the worst night it was 15 hours of climbing and we started at midnight. It took eight hours up and seven hours down. Overall it was a great experience though, and I’m so glad I got to go.”

“A year ago or so after I started, I began to like swim. When I first jump in, I’m just thinking of how cold it is. But when I’m competing I get so focused on the race that I don’t think. I like improving myself. I want to reach my goals. I want to be the best that I can be so that some day in the future I never have to wonder if I could’ve done better.”

“I have a pretty busy life, I do a lot of things outside and in school. I do ambassadors and cross country; academics and music are important. Music is probably the most important thing between ambassadors and my freetime. When I’m not sleeping or eating, I’m playing guitar, piano, singing, writing music or practicing music, it’s what grounds me and helps me balance out all the stuff I do and relieve stress.”
