The three words that best describe Addison are kind, helpful, and outgoing. When asked what country song best describes her, Addison replied “like my mother does” by Lauren Alaina because “this song reminds me of me because my parents have taught me to never give up and always to give it my all. I love to laugh and always try to smile even when things get tough. My family is very important to me, we are always there for each other, no matter what.” Addison role models have been her teachers. Her teachers have helped her learn and grow. Addison teachers always help to spark an interest in learning new things. They have been an inspiration for her love of learning and wanting to be a teacher when she grows up.
