Allissa Nevison likes to think of a quote by Larry Bird when she thinks of things she admires.
“I’ve got a theory that if you give 100 percent all the time, somehow things will workout in the end,” Bird said.
Here’s more from the Cardinal junior:
LISTENING: I listen to a wide range of music. It stretches from old country to rap. It all depends on the day. My favorite artists right now would be Eric Church and Chris Stapleton.
WATCHING: I do not watch a lot of TV due to my schedule and I end up binge watching tv on weekends. I watch “Supergirl” and sitcoms like “The Middle” and “Modern Family.”
SUPERPOWER: A super power that would be cool to have would be the power to fly. It would be so cool to travel the world.
BEDTIME: I try to go to bed by at least 10:30 on weekdays. However, that usually doesn’t work out due to homework and sports. During the weekend I stay up until 12. I try to get 7 to 8 hours of sleep a night.
BREAKFAST: I eat the same thing for breakfast every morning which is wheat toast with peanut butter. Before games I try to eat healthier and drink a lot of water. Especially during Cross Country and Softball season due to the heat.
STYLE: My personal style is very laid back and casual and probably has something to do with sports.
GRADUATION: After High School I plan to go to college. Right now i’m just trying to keep my grades up and study so I can get into the colleges I want.
READING: I actually love to read. I usually just read books I find interesting in the Young Adult section in the library. However, I don’t prefer a specific genre.
TRAVEL: I would love to visit Italy because my family came from Italy and I think it would be an amazing experience. I actually went to Costa Rica this past summer through a school trip. It was an awesome trip we got to experience so much.
ADMIRE: I really don’t have one athlete I admire. So many athletes show so many great characteristics. They help the less fortunate and show through hard work all things are possible. A good example of this is Lebron James, he continues to give back to his community and is from this area.
