<strong>2015</strong> HONOREE<br />
When I was younger I was never into arts and crafts or recess, I enjoyed reading<br />
books that let my imagination wander. I began my strong study habits early and<br />
pushed myself to get high grades. This drive has continued with throughout high<br />
school. This desire is not only to get high grades, but, to expand my intelligence and<br />
develop my skills. As the years have gone by I see myself furthering my education<br />
and obtaining a degree in marketing. By continuing my education, I can accomplish<br />
my goals and make my dreams a reality. I heard about the Trey Whitfield Foundation<br />
from my mother and did some further research. I then realized how much of an<br />
impact this foundation has made on the community. The foundation has a firm<br />
belief in education, friendship and dedication - three key qualities that can are all<br />
needed to be successful. Education will always be an important key in my life and<br />
by furthering my knowledge, there is no telling where it can take me.<br />

I am active in my community and I work hard in the classroom each and every day.<br />
My academic dedication lead me to the honor roll and numerous pride awards - these<br />
awards are given to a select few students at our school who demonstrate leadership<br />
and strong work ethic. At my church, I was involved in starting our youth group<br />
to get the youth off the streets on Friday nights and divert their attention to more<br />
positive life aspects. I’m also involved with my cousin’s basketball team, where<br />
the goal is to help kids who are not as fortunate, play on a structured team to teach<br />
them life lessons. I also care deeply about Huntington and actively participate in<br />
“Night Out Against Crime” where we raise awareness about issues that plague our<br />
small town.<br />
