About Me

My name is Riley Fentress, and I am a 17-year-old senior at Clinton Community High School, graduating with the Class of 2026. I am an active and engaged student, participating in Cross Country, Golf, and Softball, with previous involvement in basketball. During my freshman and sophomore basketball seasons, I experienced two major injuries—tearing my left ACL, followed eight months later by a tear in my right ACL and meniscus. These challenges have played a significant role in shaping my character and future aspirations.

Throughout my recovery, I had the opportunity to connect with professionals in the medical field, which inspired my decision to pursue a career in healthcare after graduation. These experiences taught me the importance of resilience, gratitude, and living in the moment. They also motivated me to apply for the CEO program, where I hope to gain foundational knowledge in entrepreneurship and explore the possibility of launching a future business—potentially within the medical industry.
