However, she set aside those plans to help her mother in taking care of her father with his recovery after several surgeries. Her mother often told her she lives life by the beat of her own drum.

She may bend but does not break. Her family, friends, village, and auxiliary are excitingly waiting to see her complete all her goals.

Resilience is the quality Hunter Holley has that infuses every aspect of his personality, particularly regarding self-improvement when addressing demanding situations. It is his belief that through selfimprovement you can strengthen yourself, your family your neighborhood then your community. Recognizing the resiliency of others informs how he communicates with them because the difficulties that require someone to become resilient also require compassion and understanding.
Growing up as an only child, Hunter created his own fun and entertainment. This made him put his imagination to great use. As a toddler, he received a Fisher Price basketball hoop. He learned the game of basketball while attending bitty basketball camps. When he was 9, he received a microphone, an amplifier, a whistle and a coaching board for Christmas. When his cousins would visst, he was the coach, referee and announcer all in one. This sparked his love to be a sports broadcaster.
Becoming a sportscaster will allow him to take his love of sports and combine it with his overall knowledge of sports to share with the world. During the pandemic, he created his own podcast called Sports Talk With Hunter. His podcast covered the NBA, college basketball and football and the NFL. His ultimate goal is to be a part of a sports program that is not only informative as it relates to sports but also entertaining to keep the audience engaged and coming back for more.
Hunter believes going to college will provide him with the ability to learn and excel at every aspect of broadcasting and journalism. Having an education has unlimited benefits and expand personal growth. He wants to be a role model for future generations. “It ‘s important for me to be the best version of myself to motivate and encourage our youth.”
