As a 16 year old junior at Downers Grove South High School she is a High Honor Student, a member of the State Championship Varsity Dance team and has had several solos in her schoolÕs Choir Concerts.

Grayson describes herself as balanced, compassionate and intelligent. Even though she may appear to be quite a girly-girl, she is a daredevil at heart. She has surfed, zip-lined, cave-dived, ice-trekked, and done a Gladiator School in Rome. She hopes to add sky-diving to the list one day. No matter where her adventures take her she is a leader and does not follow the crowd. Grayson strives to be a positive role model to her peers and tries to always choose the hard right over the wrong.

Her goal every morning is to try to share a smile, an encouraging word or a compliment to at least one person every day. The best piece of advice she has ever received is ‘Not to worry, God has a plan way bigger than anything you could ever plan for yourself!’ One day Grayson hopes to graduate with a college degree in Mass Communications and have a career in Broadcasting or Film.
