Meet the Writers: Social Butterfly


Worthington Christian senior Abby Camp is one of the school’s most affable and sociable W.C. students; however, there is more to her than meets the eye.

Abby is what some would refer to as a social butterfly, or a very sociable person who flits from one social event to another. Not only does Abby attend all the social events connected with the school, but she assists in planning them as well. She’s commonly known to be active in the latest affairs and events of WC.

Varsity cheerleading, student council, student body, and Spanish club are a few activities that occupy Abby’s interest, performance, and attention. Abby diligently pursues being efficacious in her schoolwork and her efforts apparently serve her well.

College, for the senior class, is approaching; Abby is preparing for this vast transition and claims Ohio State University as one of her top choices on where she will most likely attend college. Abby says Columbus has been her “favorite place to live so far because it’s an actual city and it isn’t gross.” Essentially, her opinion of Ohio is heavily weighted upon her strong desire to attend Ohio State.

Along with her indefatigable involvement at WC, Abby also possesses a passionate love for traveling the world. Having conquered Ireland, Italy, Greece, the Dominican Republic, and Honduras, Abby now considers Brazil her most desired future destination. She also wishes to travel more often inside the United States.

This affinity for traveling is closely intertwined with Abby’s deepest devotion: the people of the world. Traveling is one of the main ingredients for touching God’s people, specifically those who are lost and suffering; and Abby is adamant about this concern in our world.

The hope that all people would come to know Jesus Christ before breathing their last breath on earth stands as the one element Abby says she would change about the world if only she could. Abby values having a relationship with the Savior tremendously. Making this change would connect to Abby’s compassionate personality and character traits.

Traveling encourages Abby to write about her experiences and encounters while she journeys. She enjoys writing and sees it as a good tool to help recall and relive her travel experiences. Writing things down can assist almost everyone in remembering important events that occur.

Once Abby chooses the college she will attend, she will major in Political Science and Pre-Med, and minor in Spanish. She previously considered majoring in Marine Biology, but has since abandoned that ambition. Abby believes that it could still happen, but isn’t necessarily pursuing that desire any longer.

Abby admits that she is unsure whether she will change her major or not. According to the studies and surveys, a little over fifty percent of all college students change their major the first year. She does not deny the statistic, but she is unsure of what the future will hold for her.

Mr. and Mrs. Camp have never failed to encourage their daughter to pursue her own dreams and follow her own path. They encourage her to be her own person, not
pressing any particular profession or decision upon her. Abby is thankful for her parents, and fulfilling her dreams is exactly what she intends to do.
