With a Warm Smile
--Trent Johnson, Kecoughtan High School
A strong sense of warmth and approachability is the message that Brunswick Academy junior, Chelsea Whitman, plans to offer as Senate President Pro Tempora. By definition, Chelsea is a scholar, an athlete and a self-motivated person from very rural, Jarett, Virginia, however, she goes far outside and redefines this definition. Her motivation for running was to allow for “people to be able to talk and discuss ideas without worrying of being in an environment where ridicule is present.” Her smile, something that cannot be shown in a speech from a podium, adds to this overall theme of warmth that completely describes her personality. In her future after high school she hopes to follow in her mother’s footsteps, an inspiration for her, and own her own business, “I’ve always been a person who set goals for myself and accomplished them.” Her mission is simple, but its responsibility is great and with your help this evening she wants to achieve her goal of becoming the next Senate President Pro Tempore..
Outside of her very busy and productive schedule that includes many clubs, softball and volleyball practice and mountains of homework, Chelsea likes to hunt, fish and relax in her jacuzzi. Musically, she enjoys the contemporary singer Corey Smith who, “sings about life in a way that I can relate to.” On occasion, you can find this young lady wake surfing on Lake Gaston while enjoying her favorite color blue, shining through the sky on a cloudless day. She stands as a true testament that people cannot be described or fit neatly into a two-minute speech or a 500-word essay.
Campaign strategies for Chelsea were short and sweet, “to be genuine with a warm and welcoming smile.” She offered the same advice to any future candidates for office here at MGA saying, “be warm and welcoming to everybody,” a lesson that can be applied to not only a campaign but as well as every relationship and experience encountered in life. When asked what would make her smile the most she hinted at your vote tonight for her to be the next MGA Senate President Pro Tempore.
