“I want to show the kids here in Liberty County that it’s possible to get accepted into not only just local schools… but that you can get accepted into schools… that you think might be out of your reach,” Ms Crowell told ABC News.
She called the decision to choose High point “one of the best in her life”.

“Always keep a positive sight on these things because it can get a little overwhelming,” the teenager further said.
