Clay feels Texas is her forever place

Miracle Clay may be a California native, but Texas is her forever place.

Miracle Clay was born in San Bernadino, California and moved to Lockhart, Texas at a young age. Clay is now 22 years old and has plans on moving into an apartment. The Fort Worth area is where she wants to be.

Texas Wesleyan has been Clay’s home since 2019. Where she majored in Liberal Studies and earned a 3.4 GPA.

However, keeping up with her grades came along with hardships.

During the first week of her senior year, Clay had a formidable set back. She lost one of her biggest supporters, Charles Trammell. Doubts settled in for her and she had “the feeling of not knowing how to continue school, cheer or anything else.”

Cheerleading and bonds have helped her grow physically and mentally. Teaching her to continue even when things get hard.

Each set back in Clay’s life has helped her understand her goals. “My goals after school consist of getting into the school district coaching at the secondary level.”

Clay has been a cheerleader since she was 3 years old and knows that this is her mission.

In each step of life Clay looks up to her Nana, even though she’s passed away. “I look up to her because no matter what life threw at her she stayed true to herself and followed Christ.”

She want’s everyone to view her in the same perspective and continue to grow in Christ. However, she hasn’t limited herself to these goals and values. Each day she plans to get better and become the woman she’s always dreamed of. Clay continues to live by “Big time players make big time plays. It doesn’t matter what you’re doing in life, do it big.”
