I received a thank you letter from a recent Highlands High School (Fort Thomas, KY) graduate. I had the opportunity to mentor her by providing her with opportunities to improve the environment through volunteer cleanup events that I organize. She chose an Advanced Placement (AP) Research project on what motivates students to protect the environment and volunteer, in which I assisted her with the survey design and data analysis.
"DJ Scully,
Thank you for everything that you have helped me with over the past few years! I have enjoyed volunteering at the Household Hazardous Waste Collection Event and the Ohio River Sweep. I have learned a lot about the environment, and I have cherished the experiences. I am also grateful for your assistance answering my questions for my AP Research project. Thank you for writing me a letter of recommendation as well. I am excited to be attending the United States Coast Guard Academy in the fall. Your mentorship has inspired me, and I will be majoring in Marine and Environmental Sciences.
Sincerely,
Sarah Pearson – July 2020"
