Fry Family Foundation Junior Leadership Award, 2013
Fry Family Foundation Junior Leadership Award, 2013
The impact this award had on my high school life was tremendous. It gave me the confidence and courage to do better with my academics. I became the president of my student council and became a tutor and a peer helper/big brother. Being from a small town it gave me the drive to set and achieve goals. I went from playing regional volleyball amongst the small surrounding communities to playing volleyball for the provincial team for 3 consecutive years and attending 21U nationals.
I always knew that I wanted to join the Canadian Armed Forces. After a year at Memorial I joined the military, and I am proud to say I have been serving as a Medical Technician ever since, now in Halifax at the base clinic, treating military personnel alongside military and civilian doctors and nurses. I was recently deployed to Manitoba this past year to help out with the high numbers of COVID-positive patients.
