\u201cIt just fascinated me \u2014 just being able to throw your body around,\u201d Hall said. \u201cEvery Thursday night, I got to just forget about everything else that was going on and just focus on me and the mat and tumbling and nothing else.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aside from that physical outlet, gymnastics and cheer helped her stay active through elementary school, middle school, and high school \u2014 and it helped her in the long run through college scholarships as she cheered at Tennessee Tech University. Even more importantly, it gave her an opportunity to teach others in return. Those experiences helped her grow her patience and her communication skills in a way that was applicable in all areas of life \u2014 as a STEM major, Hall said her communication skills are often surprising to interviewers. Patience and communication skills have also been helpful when she volunteers and tutors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hall has volunteered at Good Samaritan and various food pantries since she was little, led by her parents. At school, she found joy in tutoring people, helping them understand the math and science that came easily to her. She has tutored high schoolers, college students, and students with disabilities like Turner\u2019s syndrome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat\u2019s really just all I would like to do with my life \u2014 is help people,\u201d Hall said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n She graduated college with a degree in chemical engineering, and she was hired by Y-12 National Security Complex. There, she is getting involved with local service organizations like Young Life and its middle school counterpart, WyldLife. There, she will be able to serve others through her love of cheer and gymnastics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019m getting connected in WyldLife, and, hopefully, whatever middle school or high school I get placed with over in Oak Ridge \u2014 maybe there\u2019s going to be a position available for a cheer coach,\u201d Hall said. \u201cIf not, hopefully I can find a local gym and I can work there; maybe do some private lessons.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n She may not be in a uniform anymore, but Kenadi Hall is still living out the lessons she learned through her years of cheer and gymnastics training. Her commitment to the sport, to service, and to teaching will be a blessing to anyone lucky enough to work with her.
