Cole Abbott is one of the peer counselor for Bonner Scholars, which is a community service scholarship that 80 of Berry’s students participate in. Ever since meeting him shortly before classes began, I knew he was a fabulous person. He quickly became an even more fabulous friend. Join HC Berry as we get to know Cole Abbott!

Do you have a favorite hashtag? If so, what is it?

“My favorite hashtag is #BonnerLove because, as a Bonner Scholar here at Berry, I get to be part of a really close knit group full of love and passion. The Bonners are my second family.”

Do you have any siblings?

“I have a twin sister named Hannah. She’s also a student here at Berry. I also have a 9-year-old sister named Audrey. She’s in the fourth grade at Saint Mary’s Catholic School here in Rome.”

What is your best scar story?

“When I was a little boy, I was so perplexed by the fact that women (specifically my mom) shaved their legs. I don’t know why, but I found this intriguing. I wanted to be able to shave my legs just like my mother, so one day when she wasn’t looking I snuck into her bathroom, stole her razor, and attempted to shave my leg. I ended up shaving the skin off of my right knee. I had to shamefully hobble into the living room with a bloody knee and admit to my mom that I stole her razor to shave my leg.”
