Growing up from a family of lawyers, North Carolina women’s fencer Sydney Persing was raised to be a go-getter. From a very early age, both Persing and her twin brother learned the value of assertiveness, thanks in part to the creative way that their parents made them settle disputes. “We would have family court,” Persing said of the cases that started when she was 6 years old, which ranged from squabbling over the television remote to finding out who broke a vase. “My brother and I would have to present arguments with detailed evi- dence to back up our claims as to why our argument should win,” Persing said. “Then one of us would win the case depending on who did a better job presenting their argument.” With their parents operating as the judge and jury, Persing was implant- ed with the very skill set that would later become essential to her future careers — fencing and journalism. “I feel like that does instill a sense of confidence in you when you’re younger,” Persing said. “I always really appreciated that.” Each argument, each deposition, each family court case pushed her to who she is today — a tenacious fencer, a confident journalist, a self-described go getter. “That more than anything probably molded the kind of fencer I am and DTH/BARRON NORTHRUP journalist I hope to be,” Persing said. Senior Sydney Persing didn’t decide she wanted to fence until high school. Similarly, she didn’t know she wanted to be a local TV reporter until this year.
