When Todd Plesco, CBCP, received the call that his son, Victor, had won the DRI Foundation Scholarship for high school seniors, he was “shocked – pleasantly so!”
It’s no secret Victor is a high achieving student. “As an athlete and a scholar and a musician…he gets things done. There’s no such thing as laziness or procrastination – he’s just really hyper focused on everything and it’s really great.”
So why shock? “I literally didn’t see his essay until this morning.”
Worlds Collide: Volunteerism, Music, and Physics Come Together for Undergrad DRI Foundation Scholarship Winner
DRI Foundation Scholarship winner Gentry Gardner’s impressive list of accomplishments includes an extensive amount of volunteer work, the result of a decision he made at a very young age. “I got involved in scouting back in about first grade, and that was probably when I decided I was going to go all the way to Eagle Scout,” he says. “That was just a goal I set for myself, and I held myself to that going forward. I made a lot of friends along the way and had a lot of fun through the process. And I really think it was an important part in helping me shape my character.”
