Macie Martin is a recent graduate from Spring Hill High School in Hope, Arkansas. During her high school career, she participated in school athletics and activities within her community. When asked how her father’s diagnosis with MS has impacted her life she states, “I make the most of every minute I have with the ones I love. It has also made me realize how important it is to take life one day at a time and to be thankful for each day you have with the ones you love.” She plans to attend the University of Arkansas Community College to complete coursework in the radiologic technology program, where she hopes to transfer to Arkansas State University and pursue a degree in medical diagnostic sonography. Her long-term goal is to work in the office of an OB/GYN and perform ultrasounds for the expecting families.
