Lauren Ashlie Morrison, of Montbello and a senior at Thomas Jefferson High School, is ready for college. On Feb. 6, Morrison signed a letter of intent to play volleyball next fall. She will be attending Brevard College in North Carolina.

Lauren also played volleyball in the 30th annual CCGS/BADENAll-State Volleyball Gamesand received an All-State Award. Her extracurricular involvemnet in school includes DECA; she is also on the committee to help students not to drink and drive.

Lauren will major in business, and is expecting to acheive great collegiate endeavors .

When asked why Brevard, she replies, "I really love the campus, its a small four- year college and it doesn't seem to be overwhealming at all," she said. "The facility and the students were really nice and it fits my personality."

"It's really far, and I am the first out offour siblings to leave home for college, a little scared but I believe I will adjust fine. I feel that God is really looking over me for this door to be opened. Not only will I play one of my favorite sports (basketball being my favorite), I'll be able to get an education. I want to succeed, and make those who have prayed for, believed and invested in me proud."

There were a total of 13 students that signed from Thomas Jefferson High.

Lauren narrowed down her choice from CSU, Adams State College, Loyola University and Prairie View A&M University.
