Freshman Jillian Adolf is already an established soccer player, singer, and horseback rider. What many don’t know, however, is that Jillian has some serious country roots.
NP: When did you become interested in horses?
JA: My cousins own a farm and that’s kind of how it all got started. Someday I’d like to live in Kentucky or something and be an equine vet.
NP: Do you own a horse?
JA: I don’t own a horse, but I ride a horse named Foxy. I ride him once a week at my lesson and I try to get out whenever I can during the week for free rides.
NP: What other activities are you involved in?
JA: Soccer’s a big one. I sing and I cantor at church, and I like to draw.
NP: Are you going to try to get involved in any activities at Mercy?
JA: I’ll want to try out for the soccer team this year. I love soccer and it would be great to play for the Mercy team.
NP: How do you like Mercy so far?
JA: I like it a lot. Everyone’s really friendly and it was really easy to adapt. It’s a little bit more work than my old school, but I feel like I fit in really well here. And I really like my iPad.
NP: You said you like war movies, can you give us your top five?
JA:
1. We Were Soldiers
2. Saving Private Ryan
3. Midway
4. Bridge Too Far
5. Gladiator – It’s not really a war movie, but it’s really good.
