Tell us a little bit about yourself and your plans for college.

My name is Ella Blalock and I am a Senior at Corner High School. I have been enrolled at Corner for 3 years. I am in many clubs including; student council, beta club, HOSA, FCCLA, diamond dolls, and volunteer at Bagley and the Mission of Hope. I am a member of the Bowling Team and have been for two years. I love my dog, Chanel, and my ferret, Rebekah. I am very passionate about animals. I have one full sister, two half sisters, one half brother, and three step sisters. I am very family oriented and love my friends. I love to work and have been working since I turned sixteen. I work at Dora Discount Pharmacy now which I enjoy so much. Corner has changed me for the better. I have learned so much from moving here and am blessed for the things Corner has brought me.
My future goals might not seem like a ‘dream job’ or a ‘dream life’ to some but it does to me. My main goal in life is to make something of myself. Neither of my parents have a college degree and my mother did not even graduate high school. Another major goal of mine is to be happy and successful in my career. I plan to attend a four year university and get a masters degree. I am planning on going to the University of Mobile. They offered me a scholarship for bowling. It is a Christian and Private University which I love. The students there are more than just a number to the professors. I am thinking about getting a degree in psychology and maybe going into Human Resources. I want to go into Human resources because I enjoy working with others. It can give me the chance to make positive impacts on people's lives and companies. It is a very diverse field and I feel as it offers a lot of opportunities. I think it would be a great fit for me.
