Baron Award of Excellence

During the end of my senior year, I was awarded the Baron Award of Excellence. This honor was the highest level of achievement a student at Buckeye Valley High School could be presented with. It is given to an individual who made a profound difference in the lives of the students within the Buckeye Valley community and signified an appreciation for the work one has done for the school. I qualified for such a distinction through my work as Student Council President and a founder of a peer mentorship program for struggling freshmen. Although my efforts through both positions filled me with enough pride to fuel my future endeavors, this award presented me with an immense amount of gratitude. It reminded me that hard work does not go unnoticed by the collective public. One who works in silence allows their success to make the noise, but my noise what the flourishing community that I left behind after I had graduated.
