Clarence Gray is currently a junior at Corry High School. He is quite possibly the most popular man in school; often complimented for his good looks, hilarious sense of humor, contagious laugh, and ‘no quit attitude.’ As Clarence always says, “You either go big or go home.”
Clarence was born at Titusville hospital on August 15, 2007. Since then he has lived his life in Spartansburg with his older brother, Donald Gray, who is twenty years old.
When not at school, Clarence keeps busy helping out on his farm at home, because as he puts it, he simply “loves his animals.” He takes care of his sheep and raises cows and chickens. He also shows his sheep at fairs. When asked what he does with the wool after it is sheared, he said that he puts it in garbage bags and brings it to the fairs to show that off, too. Clarence also likes to do other outdoor things like hunting; he is a good storyteller who enjoys telling people about the deer he got this year. Some day Clarence would like to go to Nebraska for hunting.
In Clarence’s future, he sees himself working in a garage and being a professional oil changer. Clarence is a very influential person, so naturally he was asked how one might go about achieving their own future careers. He responded saying, “If you work hard, you will succeed. If you’re tired, keep pushing till you can’t; then do it again.”
Somewhere Clarence plans on vacationing is Alaska. When asked why he explained that he enjoys the cold and has friends that live there. Another place he would like to visit is Colorado.
