Christian Cline

I am a senior high school student who will be the team captain of the varsity tennis team and the Group Commander of my JROTC, putting me in command of 95 students. I earned these roles based on many factors, some being my ability to work well with others, my intuition and intellect, and my integrity as a person and coworker. I also have experience in a job, meaning I know what is asked of me in a job setting, and how to delegate my time to ensure my responsibilities are taken care of.

• Through my JROTC, I earned the "Military Officers Association of America" JROTC award for "having demonstrated exceptional potential for leadership"
• One of only 49 students in all of Northern California to go to the Thousand Oaks Youth Leadership Conference (TOYLC) at Cal Lutheran from June 16-20
• One of three students at TOYLC to earn the "Youth Merit Award" for demonstrating "outstanding patriotism, citizenship, volunteerism, and academic achievement among young people."

• Regular weekly landscaping and nature restoration
• Daily gardening in my backyard
• Daily exercise in the gym and daily tennis conditioning
• 300+ hours of volunteer work through JROTC, church, and personal intention
• Mission trips to Ethiopia (2 weeks), Guatemala (1 week), Alaska (1 week), Mexico (4 days), and several weekend trips to the Tenderloin in San Francisco
• Youth Group every Wednesday for the past 5 years
