She works so hard behind the scenes to make things run smoothly and are well taken care of. Casey is also extremely dedicated in the classroom. She typically is one of the top students in every class that she has ever taken. In some classes, if it doesn't come easy, she'll be the one who will sit and study and work through it long after her peers have had enough. She knows what she wants out of life and is working hard to continue to earn the hard way everything that she's ever gotten in life. I can't wait to watch this young lady grow into one of the most successful students that I have had the privilege to teach and coach throughout her high school career.
