Cali Eliason is known by many in the Madison School District. She is from her home town of Howard, South Dakota, which she finds to be a little boring at times. Cali Jo Eliason was born to Curt and Connie Eliason at the Avera Hospital in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. She moved from Elkton at the age of four to Howard. Cali Eliason is seventeen years old and is a part of a family of six. Cali has 3 other siblings: Cooper who is the oldest, Cayden, and Casi who is the youngest. As a family, they run their summer restaurant called 6C’s, where Cali works. Cali hopes to land a job this summer as a lifeguard at Howard’s local pool, and maybe work at her dad’s business, Renew Energy Maintenance, to help her understand more about engineering. After graduation, Cali wants to go on a mission trip with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Cali plans to join the Coast Guard Academy to be an Aviation Survival Technician.
Cali enjoys watching her favorite movies like The Miracle or Ford Vs. Ferrari and the tv show, The 100, which influenced Cali’s decision to play Clarke Griffin from The 100, if given the chance. That doesn’t, however, define her personality, which is more like The Hunger Games character Katniss Everdeen. Sometimes, you will find Cali quoting movies or eating her favorite foods like savory red salmon or chicken, which she prefers fried, chopped in a salad, or BBQ’d. Cali loves to listen to her favorite band, Imagine Dragons, whom she saw in 2018 at the Denny Sanford Premier Center in Sioux Falls, SD.
If Cali had the chance to try to do anything and money was not an object, she said that
“I would like to fly an airplane because it would be fun.” When it comes to having a special superpower, she would want to be able to read other peoples’ minds. Cali loves mint green and pastel yellow as her favorite colors. However, she would not have used any of those colors on her dream car, which is an original 1967 Ford Mustang. Hers would be a soft top in Aspen Red with a black interior.
Cali would love to live in Ireland for a year, travel the island and see the popular cities like Dublin, Galway, and Cork. Cali would enjoy seeing the breathtaking landscapes of Ireland such as the Cliff of Moher. She would also take the only thing she could not live without, beside her cellphone, which is her nice warm blanket. When it comes to life advice, Cali would recommendation to “listen to people who are wise and are abundant with knowledge.”
If Cali Eliason was given a chance to have $5 million, which had to be spent within five days, she would give $1 million to animal shelters. The other four million dollars would go to environment protection, her parents who helped raise her, Cancer Research Institute, and finally, Feeding America. Cali would like to be a contestant on endurance show American Ninja Warrior. She feels that going on American Ninja Warrior would push her to her limits and give her a challenge mentally and physically. Fifteen years from now, you will find Cali in the Coast Guard as an Aviation Survival Technician and hopefully married to her better half living life to the fullest.
