Spring Sports Senior Spotlight – Kaleb Adkins

Parents –Anthony and Amy Adkins

Sports Played-  Baseball – 3 years supposed to be 4, Cross Country-3 years (freshman-junior), Football-1 year (senior)

Athletic Awards- I received my varsity letter in each of the three sports. Baseball/freshman year, cross country/sophomore year, and football senior year

Other Activities- Scouting all through my years of high school and am a proud Eagle Scout.  I am also apart of the youth group at St. James, Cornelius and Cyprian Catholic Church. I also play in the vintage baseball team, The Stockbridge Rough and Ready’s, that Mr. Perry has brought to the Stockbridge area.

Favorite Sports Memory – It is very hard for me to pick a single particular sports memory as my favorite memory. For baseball, I think my favorite memory would be our final game of the regular season when we broke the school record for wins in a season. That was a goal the team worked very hard for the entire season, and seeing that goal be accomplished was something amazing to be apart of. For a fall sports memory, I think my favorite memory was the homecoming run my freshman year. For many people, freshman year was the year that your finding your footing and trying to find your path. The homecoming run that year made me realize something that would stick with me for the rest of my 4 years. I wanted to be apart of something bigger than I. I wanted to contribute to something that would benefit the coming generations when they get to that age. Not just for cross country, not just for baseball, not for just sports, but for everything in life. Running through the halls of the elementary schools, put a smile on my face because I remember how I felt when the older kids did the same for us when we were the age of those younger kids.

Favorite Teacher – That’s a tough question, and I don’t think it would be fair of me to pick a particular teacher. But the two teachers I enjoyed the most was Mr. Perry and Mr. Richards. Yes I spent a lot of time in both of those rooms over years because I enjoy their classes. But I chose these two teachers because I believe in the way they teach and instruct their students. They will let you fail if you don’t want to put the work in, but they will help you excel in that field as long as you are willing to work and willing to ask for help.

Favorite Teacher- Currently it is “Designated Survivor”

Favorite Movie- Either “Gone in 60 seconds” or “The fast and furious”(the first one)

After School Plans- I am hoping to do an apprenticeship through the local 190 of Ann Arbor for pipefitting. After the 5 year apprenticeship, I want to get into commercial or industrial pipefitting.

Thank You- There are many people I would like to thank, but only 2 in particular and that would be my mom and dad. Thank you for holding me to a high standard and always pushing me to do the best I can!
