Hurst sees her goofiness as her biggest weakness, but also as her biggest strength. She said she has a good attitude and can find humor in anything.
Hurst has done a great deal in her life to prove to others just how determined she can be about doing things her way.
In high school, Hurst was involved in several clubs and organizations. She did the morning announcements and played several musical instruments.
"I marched French horn [in marching band] and played French horn in concert band," Hurst said. "Then my senior year I marched trombone. I just wanted to switch it up, and I thought it was a fun thing to learn. And I can play trumpet and baritone also, so basically every brass instrument besides tuba."
Hurst was also successful in learning how to knit.
"I knit. I found some knitting needles in my house and I was like 'oh look, mom teach me how to use these,'" she said.
Another hobby, another day in Samantha Hurst's unpredictable, though always interesting, life.
