Peter T. Buecher Memorial Scholarship
Winner
Growing up with two very athletic older brothers and a father who served as the Activities Director and girls basketball coach, I was exposed at a very young age to the opportunities that arise from high school sports. Though I didn't quite match the athleticism of my older brothers, or the expectations of many around, I would not change my experience for the world. I was fortunate enough to serve as a captain of both my volleyball and basketball team, as well as the award winner for "Most Valuable Teammate" on both teams at the end of the season. With this, overtime I understood what people meant by "Sports are more than just practice and competitions." Sports were lifelong friends, being a resource and a positive influence to the younger generations, dance parties in the locker room, and a chance to gain timeless skills: communication, teamwork, leadership, accountability, and selflessness. I would absolutely not be the driven person I am today without my experiences revolving athletics. Overtime, I have silently realized that my purpose is to serve and lead those around me. Each morning serves as a reminder that I am given a day to either be a greater good to this planet, or waste the opportunity. I grew up in very small, tight-knit, mid-west community that truly showed me what the word community means. Generations before laid the pavement and dirt roads in which created generational friendships and organizations that promote serving others. As early as I can remember, I witnessed so much selflessness in my community that I have eventually come to realize is the greatest attribute that one can contribute with their time on Earth. I currently strive to enrich myself in ways that can further enrich those around me. In May I will be traveling to Guatemala to provide free healthcare with various other volunteers to underserved communities. While this is an extravagant example of serving, it can be forwarded and followed by the simple acts in every day life. The interpersonal skills that I gained with sports has inspired me to offer whatever I can give to further our common goal of healthy habits, healthy relationships, and healthy planet as a whole.
