Starting a new school as a junior can be daunting, but Oliva Graves is the kind of teen who embraces all that life has to offer.
She loves biology and art, she runs indoor and outdoor track, helping Country Day win a state championship last year, and serves as teen president of the Queen City Chapter—Jack and Jill of America, Inc. She also runs her own art business, OGG Creates, in which she uses a small ink pen and writes names, words, or dates repeatedly throughout the piece to bring her custom portraits to life.
