I am Haleigh Belt. Although I was raised in Texas I was actually born in California. I have grown up my whole life in a little town in Southeast Texas called Colmesneil with a population of about 550 people. My graduating class had a total of 21 kids in it. The kids I started kindergarten with are pretty much the exact kids that I graduated high school with. I could never wait to get out of that little drama filled town but now that I am 3 hours away from home I sure do miss it. Growing up in Colmesneil was something amazing. In high-school I was involved in all sports, including volleyball, softball, basketball, track and I was a cheerleader. In volleyball I was our main outside hitter and a blocker. In Softball I played shortstop and centerfield and could also hit from the left and ride side. In basketball I pretty much played wherever my coach needed me. I could play a wing and make outside shots or if he needed me as a post I also played down low and was a post. In track I ran the sprint relay, both hurdle events and did pole-vault. In Cheerleading I was a captain my junior and senior and also made All-American Cheerleader my senior year. I strongly believe that sports has sculpted me into the person I am today. It has made me a leader and given me strong determination to reach my new goals, as I was always trying to meet new goals in my sports. I was also involved in FFA which was one of my favorite parts about high school. In FFA I did many speaking events. I did one called Radio Broadcasting and another called Poultry which is where you judge chickens. Now that I don’t have sports to keep entertained 365 days of the year I have started working out a lot and that has taken up all of the free time I have. I really started working out in high school because to play as many sports as I did I had to be in the very best shape. I have gotten more serious about my working out since I moved to college mainly so I do not gain the so called 'freshman fifteen". I really enjoy working out and buying all my clothes and shoes to workout in. I try to work out every single day and if I can’t get to it one day then I just do a harder work out the next day. I love working out it is probably my favorite hobby right now. I read sometimes here and there and I really hope to start reading more I am very cliché when it comes to my reading. I like to read sappy love novels. I mainly prefer Nicholas Sparks books. I also really like to shop. Some call it a hobby but my dad calls it an addiction. I spend pretty much all of my extra money on shoes, make up and clothes. I could spend all day every day in a mall if my bank account could handle that. I probably own half of aggie land outfitters. I also really like to spend time with my best friend and boyfriend. I pretty much spend all of my free time with them.

  1. Haleigh, I like the bit about "Some call it a hobby but my dad calls it an addiction." Good comedic moment there. You mention reading "sometimes here and there". What kind of stuff? I'm a book nerd, so of course I'm curious.

  2. How did you get into working out? Also I'm with you on the whole spending all my money on shoes, make up, and clothes. Spending my money instead of saving it is my biggest weakness.

    1. Well I have always worked out with sports. I just decided to get more serious about it since I moved up here cause I really don't want to gain the freshman fifteen.

  10. Hey Haleigh, I think its pretty cool that you graduated in a class of 21, compared to mines that's not even a full classroom. Also, I think its great that you work out to keep your body busy, since you're use to doing sports so your body is already in that active stage.
