It is with great pleasure that I recommend Robert Terlikowski. A kind-hearted, compassionate and intelligent student, Robert is making the most of his high school career. I have been impressed with his dedication to academics and the school community. A motivated student with an apparent concern for others, he has distinguished himself among his peers.
. Early in his high school career it was clear that Robert is a talented young man with tremendous potential. Teachers, students and staff at the high school consistently speak of Robert in the highest and sincere regard. His resume thoroughly outlines his commitment to the South Windsor High School student body all four years. There is no doubt in my mind that Robert is going to continue to touch the lives of others in positive ways throughout his life.
Robert has consistently challenged himself with rigorous and has met the challenges with success repeatedly from year to year. Both in and out of school Robert is involved in a myriad of activities, which include church youth group, Karate (participating and assisting) for six years, soccer and the outing club.

Open and willing to listen to others and show a genuine care and concern is a rare find in high school today. It was enlightening to learn of Robert’s trip to Haiti where he has gained a broader outlook on the world and life. Robert also has an appreciation for all he possesses and determination to someday make a difference in the world. It is because of experiences such as the trip to Haiti and membership in Common Ground that have inspired Robert to go beyond the required. I admire not only the myriad of activities he is involved, but more the consistency and leadership positions he maintains. What is equally impressive is there is a purpose behind each activity he is involved and not based on the notion it looks good on a

    It is a great pleasure to recommend Rachel Sitasz for admission to the Edward Hospital Student Volunteer Program. She is one of the most empathetic, kind, and exceptional humans I have encountered in my 14 years of teaching. I teach Rachel in my 8th grade advanced ELA class. Her academics, character, innate curiosity, intrinsic motivation, ethical standards, and unwavering desire to give back, have put Rachel in a class of her own. In fact, for the first time in over 25+ years, the eighth-grade team created a brand new end-of-the-year award for our graduation awards assembly.…

    Since attending Spelman College, I have evolved as a person mentally and socially, especially in my efforts regarding volunteering and the production of social change. Before attending Spelman and joining Lady Buds, a mentoring program for young underprivileged girls, I understood to a degree, how social change impacts people and their communities. However, after being a part of Lady Buds, my understanding of social change vastly increased, specifically how it affects the communities within Atlanta and on a larger scale our society. Upon entering Spelman college, I knew I wanted to be involved with a mentoring group, and while there was a multitude of groups to choose from, I decided on Lady Buds because their mission statement resonated with my goal before entering Spelman College.…

    My first memory at North Carolina Governor’s School West is of crying next to my parents on a bench under a giant tree. It was move-in day for the five-and-a-half-week session, and I was already sure that they would be the worst weeks of my life. I was terrified; I knew no one except two students from my high school, who were rising juniors and to whom I had never spoken before. After that stressful first day, I fell asleep unsure of how I could make it on my own in a place filled with such talented, intelligent, and unfamiliar people. A week later, I knew that Governor’s School would be one of the most treasured experiences of my entire life.…

    Be the change you wish to see in the world; Mahatma Gandhi's words of wisdom still ring true to me in my everyday life. His words invoke me to look within myself and evaluate how my good deeds can somehow be powerful enough to change the world. Volunteering at Buckner Shoes for Orphan Souls kindled a fire within me and made me realize that I will not tolerate being a bystander in the world; I must be proactive in order to see results. This center allowed me to see how simply packing, sorting, and shining shoes can help a young child's get to school easier, allow a young soccer play to sign up for their local team, or protect a child from walking on harsh terrain while trying to collect water. The reason why I volunteer is because I wish for the child's troubles to be nonexistent, I want to live in a world where people don’t have to worry about having a function pair of shoes.…

The Non Profit Organization I used to work for had a specific mission to shoot documentaries about the physical and educational needs of some schools in the country and send them to some prestigious international philanthropic organizations to collect funds.…

    Every year at school, I sit through program after program telling me not to be a bystander. I am told to defend those around me; I never realized the true meaning of these programs, until this past summer. During the summer, I worked as a camp counselor for the local Jewish Community Center. As counselors, one of our duties is to mentor campers ages five to fourteen in athletic activities. Throughout my first week, I noticed a disconnect between Senator, one of my co-counselors, and the campers.…
