Faint outlines of shoes have etched into the carpet, just a small indicator of the lengthy line of students that stand waiting for the front desk.

“Front office, how can I help you?” Once one call ends, three more appear. 

A constant flow of people trying to get into the building sets off the entrance buzzer every few minutes.

Green pass after green pass is written and exchanged within seconds. “Here you go sweetie, have a nice day!” 

Alongside the rings and dings, chit chat suffocates the room. 

This is the norm for front office receptionist Elizabeth Little. 

“When I go to lunch, it takes three people to do what I do,” Little said.

Little has worked on campus for the past three years. Even on the most chaotic days of the year like holidays and special events, she manages to handle every task handed to her. In addition to all that she does for the school, she lives a life that might surprise most. 

Little grew up right in San Antonio, Texas. As a kid, Little would spend a lot of time with family. She would hang out with her grandma, watching lucha libre. This interest followed her into adulthood, the admiration she had for the sport never fading.

“I wanted to be one of those photographers around the ring, taking pictures,” Little said. 

That dream became her reality.

For over 20 years, Little has taken pictures of wrestlers. She would travel around show to show, taking pictures of wrestlers actively fighting in the ring. The 40,000 pictures she has, goes to show how dedicated she is to this childhood dream.

“I’ve been out in the rain, the cold, the hot, I’ve been hit with a chair, and kicked in the arm.” Little said, “One time a ladder bounced off the turnbuckle and hit me, but I got the shot.”

Little takes these pictures free of charge due to the same reasoning as to why she’s a school receptionist; to help people. One picture at a time, Little shot hundreds of wrestlers. 

“I found it as a way to help them achieve their dreams,” Little said.
