Hi! My name is Avery Staus. I am 16 years old, and I have lived in Roswell, Georgia my entire life. I have attended The Walker School in Marietta since seventh grade, and although it is small, I have built strong friendships and became involved in areas I never thought I would be interested in. For example, I used to believe that I wanted to attend medical school and become a doctor. However, after taking classes outside of my comfort zone, I realized that my dream is to utilize my creativity in my future career and major in marketing, advertising or journalism in college. I have always despised my science and math classes in school even though I tried extremely hard to enjoy them. English and history have always been my favorite subjects and I am determined to continue my studies in these areas.
When I am not studying hard or finishing homework assignments, you will find me dancing, reading, shopping, watching a new show or hanging out with my friends. I have been a competitive dancer since I was 3 years old, and I have loved every second of it. I currently dance at Rhythm Dance Center where I have found my second family and home. I take classes in all different genres of dance such as jazz, ballet, tap, hip hop, contemporary, ballroom, musical theatre and many more. Not only will I spend hours at the dance studio, but I will spend hours reading books. The genres I prefer to read are romance, mystery and historical fiction. A few of my favorite books are “To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before,” “The Summer I Turned Pretty” and “The Hunger Games.” Another one of my pastimes is watching TV shows and movies, and a few of my favorites include “Gossip Girl,” “Vampire Diaries,” “Gilmore Girls” and “Anyone but You.”
Although I have many hobbies, there is nothing I enjoy more than spending time with my family and friends. My mom, Melanie, and my dad, Justin, are my best friends and we love to watch movies, try new foods and travel the world together. My older brother, Tanner, just finished his freshman year at the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology in Indiana. I hold my two best friends, Audrey and Masoom very close to my heart and we enjoy shopping trips, going to get acai bowls, going out to dinners and traveling together. Our favorite places we have traveled are New York City, New Haven and Florida!
Hopefully you have learned more about me after reading this biography!
