This week’s senior spotlight focuses on the friendly Justin Snipes. Justin Snipes has been at RMA since freshman year, and he has definitely made the most out of the time here. He is on the Varsity Golf team and has been a great role model on the team for the past two years. Justin is not only a role model to the golf team, but to his two younger brothers as well. Justin is an avid member of the Key club. He is also member of the Global Studies Program and even traveled to Belize this past summer with fellow Global Studies members. Justin is known for his soft smile and his never failing jokes at the perfect times. You can find him driving in his beloved mustang while wearing some Adidas Mutombo’s or somewhere in Halifax County (and yes, he is a former Halifax Academy Viking). Another fun fact about Justin is that he is the biggest Minnesota Vikings fan I have ever met. He even traveled to Minneapolis to watch them play this past season, and was lucky enough to meet Adrian Peterson. Lastly, Justin loves to spend time at Lake Gaston and hang out with his friends.  RMA will forever miss the entertaining and kind-hearted Justin.
