Andrew Carr. Someone many people know through his success in Rebel sports. As he is the starting kicker for the Rebel football team as well as the leading center back for the Rebels soccer team. But though he already has so much on his plate due to sports he still finds time to work diligently for the BRN team. Andrew started his work with the BRN/BCSN team this year as a junior and has made a perfect addition to the team.
With the suggestion by Katherin LeMonds, Andrew joined the class and saw it as an opportunity to escape in the mornings, but says, “It turned out to be a very enjoyable class that I really going to miss next year.” Andrew served the class as the photography director obtaining pictures for graphics as well as articles. And also was the SID (Sports Information Department) for girls golf, special events, and girls tennis.
He not only served the class by getting images and providing information about the sports he was covering, but also brought a positive energy to the classroom. He was always willing to help others and give suggestions when he could. But most memorably he made broadcasts entertaining not only for the viewers with his camera work, but with his comments to those working on the productions. He recalls one broadcast in particular, “…When McClain and I started using code names, I was Black Mamba.. McClain was Golden Rattlesnake, and Emily was Gigi.” Andrew brought this type of comedic relief to every broadcast and maintained this attitude all throughout the year.
Carr brought with this positive attitude an attitude to serve others not only in the community but also his classmates. Carr stated learned a lot from his experiences in the classroom, but he realized how big of an impact he could have on others lives. He says, “I will continue to put the spotlight on people who don’t always get the recognition they deserve through my life…” Because of this class Carr was able to learn new life lessons like these to bring others up and give credit where credit is due. He has grown as a person in this way and plans to continue on assuring others that no matter what they are doing they are having a positive impact on the lives of other individuals.
Overall, Carr is grateful for the connections he made with his classmates and the relationships he has strengthened along the way. And in true Andrew Carr fashion he says, “ I want to say a little prayer for everyone who will be in the class next year because my sister will be joining them.” Carr will always be remembered in the classroom as a positive, outgoing, and comedic personality in the classroom and will have a lasting impact on BRN as a whole.
