Country girls are like other girls, but they know how to shoot a gun, ride four-wheelers, own a big ole truck named Harold, and look just as good in a dress as they do came. Yep, that’s Madelyn!!  Her mom calls her “Tootie”

Madelyn would describe her personality as kind and funny, “but I can be moody and cranky at sometimes too.”  After high school, she plans on attending college to become a nurse! When she was a little girl, she wanted to be a lawyer. Her favorite teacher throughout the years was her 5th grade teacher and her favorite class is math.   Madelyn’s favorite high school event is Community Night because, “we always have a big bonfire after the show.”   This is Madelyn’s advice to incoming freshman: “Don’t be loud and annoying, bring headphones, no making out in the hallway, and actually walk in the hallway. Don’t stop right in the middle and talk to someone. People will yell at you to move out of the way.”

She would describe her “perfect day” as spending time at the lake on a boat with her family.

Bucket list items are Swimming with sharks and dolphins
