Page C-6 - Shetton-Mason County Journal - Thursday, September 15, 2011 By EMILY HANSON Clara Robbins, a senior on the Shelton girls' soccer team, describes herself as an overall positive person. "Five words that de- scribe me are cheerful, optimistic, enthusiastic, truthful and dependable," Robbins said. Rob- ~bins was chosen as the Ath- lete of the Week by her coach. Mike Mal- pass. "She is a natu- CLARA ral leader ROBBINS and she leads by example," Malpass said. "I think the other girls see that and try to emulate her." Robbins plays center de- fense for the Highclimbers and said she has played defense her whole life and center for about two years. She began playing soc- cer when she was 5 years old and has continued for the last 13 years. "My par- ents put me into soccer and I just, loved it from the start," Rob- bins said. "I love the team, be- ing able to play, the way it makes me feel. I can be aggres- sive and "She is a natural leader and she leads by exampleoo. t think the other girls see that and try to emulate her°" then smile at the end and shake hands. It's a great team sport." Robbins said she has been awarded the Most In- spirational Player award for the last three years with the Highclimbers and that she hopes to play at a 2A or 3A college next year. "I haven't really re- searched it but right now I'm looking into Linfield College in Oregon," she said. "It's a smaller school and the area around it is small like Shelton. It also offers athletic training ma- jors, which is what I want to major in. Linfield also has a great study abroad program." Robbins said she has al- ways loved to travel and study other cultures. "I've always wanted to go to Sweden but I hon- estly don't have an an- swer why," she said with a laugh. "My dad went there when he was in college and he said the land is just beautiful." Soccer is not the only sport Robbins plays. She also plays on the girls' basketball team and par- ticipates in track in the spring. In addition to school sports, Robbins en- joys water skiing, snowski- ing and snowboarding and said her goal before she goes to college is to learn how to wakeboard. When she's not playing sports or being active in other ways outdoors c she also enjoyings hiking and camping) Robbins is a 3.8 to 3.9 GPA student, ASB senior class representative and said she loves to read mysteries. "I love how they capti- vate you and you have to finish them because you don't have a clue how it's going to turn out," she said. Her fascination with mysteries may even be why one of her favorite courses this year is psychology. "I'm a really so- cial person so learning about be- havior and psychology is fascinat- ing to me," Robbins said. "The way people do things, why they do them... it makes me learn more about me and just how people do things." Her other favorite course this year is athletic train- ing, which Robbins is plan- ning her future on. "I'm sure this is going to change, but I would love to get a degree in athletic training, start at a high school, work my way to a college and maybe some day work with professional sports," she said. Robbins said she might also want to start her own firm and live in the same area of Washington some day. She added that she actu- ally enjoys the weather in Mason County. "There aren't major ex- tremes here, but the sea- sons are so different that I love it," she said. ~i~i~!i!~!~!~i!~ii~i~i~!~!~!~i~i~!i:!~i~!~ii~i~!~i:i~i~i
