Reflection For The Day Of Caring And Day Of Service

For high school, I attended Klukwan School in the Chatham School District. My K-12 school had a population of 15 students, approximately one, sometimes two, students for each grade level. When I had reached my senior year, I was the only graduate. During my high school career, I maintained status on the high honor roll and received the title of being Student of the Month the first month of every school year for four years.

I plan to maintain my work ethic long after graduation and remain loyal to my Alaskan community by strictly working in the state.
