Everyone can learn something from Callie Ahlgrim. The first thing would be her style. She wears a black Jonas Brothers cut-off tee shirt (but she doesn’t like the band), turquoise shorts and a beaming smile. This laid-back fashion sense reflects her attitude towards high school: just relax.
“It’s sort of cliché, but do what you like because I feel like a lot of people at Staples get caught up in college and academics, but it’s also important not to kill yourself with schoolwork.”
Great advice.
For someone so nonchalant, Ahlgrim is actually very concerned with the past; history, that is. She loves looking back at articles from past decades because she feels she can really understand what life was like during the different time periods. The eighties and nineties were Ahlgrim’s favorite decades because of the British invasion in music.
Don’t be fooled by this great-dressing, music-listening, cool-girl persona, though. Callie spends a lot of her spare time doing schoolwork, participating in Teen Awareness Group and soccer.
Soccer has taught her to be determined and persevere. She doesn’t let anything stop her from doing what she loves.
Somehow Callie Ahlgrim manages to master high school and stay stress-free. Maybe everyone should learn a lesson from Callie!
