Leesburg Sophomore Olivia Roberson Makes the Grade as a Well-Rounded Student

Olivia Roberson

My favorite class: I really like my biology class. I like the teacher and the subject is really interesting to me.
Future goals: I don’t know exactly what university I want to go to, but I do want to major in political science and family sciences and go to law school.
Greatest accomplishment: I won “Most Improved” for my tennis team last year. I just started playing as a freshman, so that was exciting.
I look up to: My mom and my sister. My mom is a really strong person. She was a single mom for a while and raised my sister and me with help from my grandparents. She just really inspires me. My sister is very outgoing and says what’s on her mind and I really admire that about her. She always pushes me out of my comfort zone.
My message to the world: Always be empathetic towards people because you never know what’s going on behind closed doors and what they’re really going through.
As a hobby: I really like to read. My favorite book is Twilight.
Everyone should know: I’m pretty funny, like once you get to know me. I have to get more comfortable, but I would say I’m funny and witty.
Topping my music playlist: Definitely Noah Kahan. I love all of his songs.
My go-to food spot: I do love Chick-fil-A. I usually get the cool wraps and fries.
If I could have a superpower: I’d definitely would want to stop time so I could just stop at school and take a nap.
