Personal
Daughter of Deb Belk and Albert Strong... favorite movie is The Titanic... enjoys listening to George Strait... likes to watch Law & Order SVU... favorite class is art... favorite book is The Bible... favorite athlete is American boxer Mikaela Mayer... enjoys homecooked meals... likes to watch football... enjoys drawing... favorite quote is, “In the end, it’s extra effort that separates a winner from second place. But winning takes a lot more that, too. It starts with complete command of the fundamentals. Then it takes desire, determination, discipline, and self-sacrifice. And finally, it takes a great deal of love, fairness and respect for your fellow man. Put all these together, and even if you don’t win, how can you lose?” - Jesse Owens... hopes to become an art/creative director... greatest athletic moment was being named most athletic during her senior year of high school...
