Christian Eli Smith was born on April 13, 2006, to parents Jimmy and Juliet Smith. He has three siblings: Josiah, Jonathon, and Gavin. Christian describes himself with these three words: calm, modest, and chaotic. His favorite school memory is all the times he proved people wrong, while his most embarrassing high school memory is “the silly pose in the 2022-2023 yearbook.”
After high school, Christian plans to either attend college or enter the workforce. He is actively involved in the Drama Club. When asked what advice he would give to underclassmen, he said, “Don’t be an idiot. You are not that guy. No excuses—keep pushing yourself because you will never be the biggest fish in the sea.” When reflecting on graduation, Christian feels conflicted. He will miss all the friendly faces at school. Mr. Shrum has had the biggest influence on him throughout his high school years. Christian considers his most significant accomplishment so far to be simply living to see another day.
