Addison VanZant is a junior at Gibson Southern High School. This is her second year being a staff member of “The Southerner” online. Addison works at Columbia Healthcare Center as a Certified Nursing Assistant. She worked this past summer to become certified and is excited to see what the future holds. She is a part of the Sunshine Society; Family, Career and Community Leaders of America; National Society of High School Scholars and is the treasurer for Student Council. Addison also attends Southern Indiana and Career Center in the morning for the Pre-Professional program to better understand the medical field. Addison is the oldest in her family by two minutes; actually, she is a triplet and has one brother and one sister. Outside of school and work, Addison enjoys reading, traveling and spending time with her family. She plans on graduating high school and going to college for nurse practitioner school. Addison has really enjoyed being a part of the newspaper staff and is so glad she joined the class last year because she really has learned a lot when it comes to writing and made some forever friendships!
