Haley Hart
Resilience has been a trait that Haley Hart has relied on throughout her life. It allows her to be a “go with the flow” type of person, someone who is able to easily accommodate many situations. Hart is a junior at MBHS, and this is her third year in Journalism.
Hart has always been very adaptable. She said that this trait stems from her elementary school years, where she watched her teachers struggle with misbehaving students. She said, “I think just because when I was younger I was always a sort of on-task girl, the teachers would sit me with misbehaving students to balance the table out to make everybody behave, so I think I learned really young to try to just go with the flow and help everybody out before I help myself.”
As someone who has always gone with the flow, Hart naturally likes to try new things. Whether at school, or in the confines of her own bedroom, Hart is constantly making an effort to expand her skills. “I try to like, pick up new hobbies all the time,” she said. Hart has tried many different activities, and she said, “I’ve tried to teach myself guitar, so I can play a few little songs on that,” and, “I know how to knit, and crochet.”
At school, Hart is no different. She has been interested in various sports at MBHS, but has ultimately landed on golf, playing since her freshman year. However, she’s eager to put herself out there and try a new one this year. She said, “I’m gonna try track this year. I want to throw shot put because my dad did, and he was good at it, but then again, I’m not like, a six foot three man, so I don’t know how it’s gonna go for me.”
Hart likes to start the school year off strong, and there’s no better place to start than MBHS’s Club Rush. When asked how she utilizes the event, she said, “Every time at club rush, I’ve tried to literally sign up for every single club, and just like, do it.” However, she has found a club that she has been a part of for a year now. In the MBHS Drama Club, Hart was the assistant hair designer, but now that the former hair designer has graduated, she will be stepping into that role. “I'm really looking forward to not having to take up a bunch of random jobs in theater,” she said, “but I also feel like there was a kind of excitement to that, like it was sort of fun to, I don’t know, act like a little Cinderella and getting to do that with my friend Abbie.”
Junior Abbie Leitner-Woolf, one of Hart’s close friends, describes her as “funny, kind, and the life of the party.” She spoke about what her time was like working with Hart backstage during theater, and said, “Haley made everything fun.” I also spoke to Junior Abby Tuller, and she said, “My favorite thing about Haley is how much she makes me laugh.” Tuller described Hart as “creative, funny, and caring.”
Hart is someone who will never fail to make you smile, is resilient and adaptable, and works hard for what she has. Her desire to expand her knowledge and skills is something that many people aspire to have, and she is truly someone who wants the best for everyone.
