About Me

Hello, my name is Alissa Edwards, and I am an 18-year-old senior at Blue Ridge High School in Farmer City. I am very active in athletics, participating in cheerleading, volleyball, basketball, and track. I began competitive cheer at the age of three, and it has remained one of my greatest passions throughout my life. Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, playing guitar, doing nails, and working. I am currently in my second year at Texas Roadhouse, where I have built many meaningful relationships with my coworkers and have gained valuable experience in teamwork and customer service. I also live on a farm, which I love, and I spend much of my summer outdoors, especially enjoying time in my pool. In addition, I have many animals that I care for deeply. After high school, I am interested in pursuing a career in real estate. I believe the CEO program will be a tremendous opportunity to prepare me for my future. I joined because I knew it would provide a unique learning experience beyond what I could receive in a traditional classroom setting. This program stood out to me in so many ways, and I am truly excited to see what this year holds and what I can take away to carry into my future. Thank you for this opportunity. I look forward to growing through this program and contributing my best throughout the year.
