Whitney Lockard is a freshman from Maumelle and is pursuing a degree in accounting.
“I would like to be an accountant so that I can save up money. My goal is to open my own ice cream store,” says Lockard.
Lockard is a member of CBC’s volleyball team and says that it takes up most of her free time.
“I started playing in the eighth grade and it was our first year to have a team at our school so everyone played and I really liked it,” says Lockard. “The next year I started homeschooling so I played with the homeschool team.”
Besides being a member of the volleyball team, Lockard also serves as being a member at New Life Church in Conway.
“I am passionate about volleyball and just being involved with my church like serving at whatever events they have going on,” says Lockard.
Lockard is proud of herself for getting to college and for winning nationals in volleyball, but her family is one of the most important things in her life.
“My family plays a big role in my life and I rely on them for everything,” says Lockard. “They’re my support system.”
Since Lockard was homeschooled, she decided to come to CBC because of the small campus and its religious background.
“I wanted to go somewhere small and I wanted to go to a Christian school to get my foundations right before I start my job,” says Lockard. “Everyone here is so nice and it was really nice when I toured. I really loved it.”
