It’s this Dunlap Eagle Senior’s birthday so I thought it would be extra special to spotlight her ahhhh-maaaazing senior pictures today!  Happy Birthday to the super sweet and gorgeous Class of 2020 senior, Camille Peters!

Camille would describe her personality as very friendly and she loves to meet new people!  “I am super passionate and invest a lot of myself into everything I do!” After high school, she plans on attending college but not quite sure what she will major in yet… possibly something in marketing!

The event she has most looked forward to this year would be senior night at the their last home football game. “All the senior football players, dancers, cheerleaders and band members are recognized for all the hard work we have put into our teams and school! It will also be my last time dancing on the turf with my team which has been one of the highlights of my high school career. I love going to football games whether it be a home game where I get to put on a uniform and pump up the crowd, or an away game when I  join my fellow classmates cheering on the Eagles! The atmosphere is contagious!  I love school spirt and there’s no better place to show your pride than at a game!”

Camille’s favorite teacher would have to be Ms. Shambaugh. “She was my British Literature teacher my junior year and her passion for teaching was so evident and she really pushed us to dig deeper into the text we were reading. I love to find deeper meanings and the creativity it gives students to expand our thinking!”

Camille has bee a member of the Dance Team for the past four years and she has also been on a competitive dance team at Waterstreet Dance Company for 8 years. “It has been such a huge part of my life!”  Besides dancing, she loves to watch movies and binge watch Netflix.

Camille would describe her perfect day like this: “I would wake up and first go get a caramel iced coffee from Dunkin. Then I would probably go hang out with my friends, maybe watch a movie, play with my dogs, and find some time to dance a bit in there!  

Three things on her bucket list include: 1. Travel across Europe 2. Skydive 3. Get a chocolate Lab!

What advice would you give to incoming freshman? “Take everything in! High school goes by so fast so take advantage of all the things your school offers. Tryout for that sport you love to play, join a club you’re passionate about, meet new people! It will all make your high school experience that much greater.”

“One of my proudest moments was when my team won state my sophomore year. We put so much hard work into that season and it was our final time preforming that routine and it was the best it had ever looked. We all knew watching it back that we had just put everything out on the floor and it payed off!”

Random Fun Facts and Favorites:

1. My favorite holiday is Halloween
2. I love Christmas time because my whole family gets together and we go to my Grandpa’s house and we exchange gifts and play white elephant. It is always tons of fun and filled with lots and lots of yummy food.
3. My favorite sport to watch is football because of how energetic the crowds get and my favorite sport to play is competitive dance.
4. I love so many genres of music so it is so hard to pick favorites! But one band that holds a special place in my heart is Queen. My dad had this DVD of a live Queen concert that always seemed to be playing and I vividly remember seeing Freddie wearing this bright yellow jacket singing his heart out. It wasn’t until later in my life that I really started to appreciate their music, but now I will always connect it to my dad.
5. Nickname? Cam
6. If I could travel anywhere in the world, I would got to Italy! There is so much culture and history there that I would absolutely adore exploring.
7. The most daring thing I have ever done is zip line in Jamaica and it was extremely high up!  (I am afraid of heights so this was a milestone for me!)
8. My Oma always thought I would grow up to be a librarian because when I was little, I would sit in the corner and just read all of the time.
9. I had scoliosis and when I was 13 I got a spinal fusion surgery so now I have a metal rod in my back! I like to think I am part Terminator now!
10. Why did you choose Shelby Photography for your senior portraits photographer? I love all the work you have done for other seniors. I love that you can see each of the girls personalities through the pictures! Everyone’s are unique to what makes them, them!

FOOD and FAMILY:

1. My hero is my mom because she has shown me what it means to be a hard worker and to love people unconditionally. She is who has made me into the woman I am today and I will continue to live by the example she has put in front of me.
2. My favorite family trip was to Disney with all my extended family because we all got to bond and experience the nice Florida sunshine together! Not to mention it is the happiest place on earth!!!
3. One of my favorite childhood memories was from 3rd grade. Me and two of my other friends competed in our schools talent show. I remember practicing in my friends basement and her mom choreographing a routine for us to “Dancing Queen” by ABBA. The day of the show we wore layers of different princess costumes, colorful makeup (done ourselves…yikes) and tiaras and sang and danced our little hearts out! We ended up getting 2nd place but we had so much fun we didn’t care!
4. My grandma’s lasagna is my favorite family recipe because we only have it a few times a year when we all can get together so its always super special.
5. If I could eat only one meal for the rest of my life, it would be chicken nuggets from Chick-fil-a!
6. The best thing about my parents is their selflessness. They give so much of their life up to support me and my sisters. Whether that be driving me to practices everyday when I was a kid, or coming to dance competitions all weekend they are always there cheering me on. Nobody has been more supportive to me and I have endless gratitude and love towards them.
