Michael Roy - 2012 Neechie Gear
High School Leadership Bursary Winner!
I have been accepted in University of Saskatchewan and starting off with 1st year Arts & Science.Being accepted into University is a great honor and gives me a feeling of accomplishment. Throughout my high school years I have been very active in extra- curricular sports, I have a very high passion for volleyball and have been to five school provincial tournaments, I also love beach volleyball and I have traveled to many locations in order to participate in these events, two cities which are the capitals of two provinces, ”Regina and Toronto.” Having participated in so many school sports I was awarded the Senior Male Athlete of the Year. I have participated in other extra-curricular activities within the school such as helping coach the senior girl’s volleyball team for two years. I have attended the Canadian Beach Volleyball Nationals twice in Toronto, Ontario and the Northern American Indigenous Games for indoor volleyball in British Columbia.
I have also been nominated for different awards such as the Sasktel Aboriginal Awards of excellence, Lieutenant Governor’s award and several other academic and sports awards, out of all the nominations throughout high school I did receive the Northern Student Achievement award, Northern Aboriginal Awards of excellence, Student of the Year (2X) and Senior Male Athlete of the Year.
My academics for high school are above average and one of the top students in most of my classes. My marks have put me on honor roll in school since grade eight. My career plan after graduation of 2012, enter into University, complete my Arts and Science and in the future get my degree in Computer Engineering, it is my goal. My other interests that most appeal to me are science and health related jobs, lab technician and geologist. The course that I have chosen will help me to achieve my goal and I know I will succeed in Computer engineering because I know I am the future and will design the next i-pod for upcoming generations.
