Alyssa Henderson

I am a seventeen year old student at Boiling Springs High School in the Upstate of South Carolina. I enjoy attending school where I learn and grow daily with my friends and classmates. I have grown up vacationing and spending as many of my summers as I can at Lake Greenwood. As soon as I turned sixteen, I got a job at a locally owned business, The Lake Bowen Fish Camp, where I am a waitress. It has taught me the importance of managing my time and money. I spend tons of my free time at Boiling Springs First Baptist Church with other life group leaders. I have been working with my pastor to become more and more of a leader for the youth ministry and others in my community. I enjoy spending time with my friends in after school clubs and high school sporting events. We also spend time around our community at local state parks watching the sunrise in the Blue Ridge Mountains, swimming at Lake Bowen, and putting our hammocks up in the great outdoors. My little brother is who motivates me, I strive to be an example for him in everything I do. The experience of the global pandemic has helped me realize the value of my family, friends, and being able to see my teachers and classmates daily. My goal is to graduate from high school and attend college, which will educate me and hopefully provide numerous opportunities for my career in interior design.
