Name: Mackenzie Russell

How many years have you been a student at CGS?

Mentor Club – 12th, Beta 8th-12th, Dream Team-12th, Volleyball 7-12th, Soccer – 11th/12th

What is your favorite Clover Garden memory?

My favorite memory at Clover Garden is sitting with Mrs. Lassiter while scaring her with mice or Watching Mrs. Cox run away from either a “Big Spider” or a mouse.

If you had to choose one person from CGS that has really made a difference in your life who would that be?

Mr. Dodson, Mr. Dodson has always been an inspiration to me. He has helped me through my hard times, always makes sure I am on top of things and He has been through so much in his career with his kids, he just deserves everything he can get. I will never forget Mr. Dodson and I hope someone else sees him the way I see him.

If you had to choose two people from outside CGS that have made a difference in your life who would they be?

My dad, because he has been through so much in his life with health problems so just seeing him fight and do everything he can for us no matter what he goes through just makes me feel really good and I wouldn’t be able to do half of the stuff I do without him. My nana has helped me through my worst times, if I need help knowing how to do something for school, she does everything she can to help me. She has no idea how much she means to me.

What is your plan for after graduation?

I was accepted to UNCW and ECU. I have chosen to attend UNCW in the fall. I am going to major in Elementary Education and minor in Special Education.
