Fry Family Foundation Junior Leadership Award, 2010
Fry Family Foundation Junior Leadership Award, 2010
My biggest memory from this award was the gathering that was hosted while we were still in high school. This was a lot of fun but also gave us a chance to see the residences and start to become familiar with the Memorial University campus. It really boosted my confidence to arrive on my first day as a student and feel like I already had friends at school! It was also enriching to have connections in so many disciplines in the university. Throughout my 5 years at Memorial, I often encountered other Horizons students as many of us became very active in student life.
I used my scholarship from the Foundation to buy my first laptop. As an engineering student, this was a very important tool to facilitate my independent learning and help me stay on top of my studies. This laptop served me throughout my entire five-year bachelor degree and when I moved to Denmark to pursue my master's degree, that same laptop was still by my side! I studied in Denmark and the Netherlands for my master's, now I am living and working in Norway for a developer as a wind energy engineer.
This photo is from that first Horizons gathering when we were in high school. I am the one in the wheelchair (due to an injury I sustained that summer), and despite my injury, I have fantastic memories from the weekend.
