Associate of the Month

Congratulations to Walker!
I am 19 years old and have lived in South Carolina for my entire life. I do not mind staying so close to home, as that is where I can always find familiarity and family. Interacting with friends and family has always been so positive for me, and I hold so much value in that I am especially glad to have this opportunity to work here. It likely would not have been possible if it weren’t for my brothers, Atticus and Cole, who worked here first and were prepared to help me feel comfortable. My lovely girlfriend, Lily, has also helped me greatly and is a strong motivator for me, and I am thankful to know her and be able to talk to her. I am also so thankful for my family at home who are always supportive, and my grandmother who assists me in so many ways that I’d be lost without. 

As a person who is not very sociable, I am so grateful for my position that it allows me to be comfortable, and speaking with the residents here helps me so much to improve my speech, as they are so respectful and accepting. My surroundings here are so comfortable, and everyone has been very accommodating to me since I first arrived.

I greatly enjoy spending time playing video games and creating different forms of both two-dimensional and three-dimensional art. I plan to attend Clemson in the fall to study Biological Sciences. I would like to use that to work with animals, although I am excited to see where my studies lead me once I am in the middle of it all and independent.
