Profile on Katie Tims by Whitney Weiss

Even though rising Junior Katie Tims has lived in more states than she can count by the age of 6, she is a Georgia peach at heart. Growing up outside of Atlanta, Tims has always had a firecracker personality. While her activity grocery list is small, the dedication she puts towards the things she loves is evident. From journalism to soccer, Tims ceases to give anything but her best.

Growing up, Tims was basically an only child. Although she has an older brother and sister, Tims admits she was always the spoiled baby girl in the eyes of her parents. However, at age 12, Tims' life changed forever when her parents decided to adopt a baby boy from Thailand, Max. Despite not being biologically related, Tims' relationship with her younger brother is your typical brother-sister banter. Three years following, Tims' parents adopted another baby boy from China, Issac, which only expanded the family for the better. Despite being closer in age to her older siblings, Tims loves her two little brothers with all her heart.

Because her father is a pastor, Tims holds her Christian faith close to her heart, one that she takes extremely seriously. This faith keeps Tims grounded, and reminds her about the greater picture of the world and her purpose on Earth.

When not at school, playing soccer, or at work, Tims loves to be an average teen and spend time with her friends, especially her best friend Katie.

While Tims is not set on a specific college, she thinks of the University of Georgia as one of her top choices.  Because she aspires to work for National Geographic, she is considering majoring in journalism, but still is not 100%.
