2008 Student of the Year

Congratulations, Cherry!

"Cherry is that student you can always count on to always venture to the next step.  This is a skill that is so important to have going into higher education and coming from an IT-focused program.  Cherry is also someone you can count on to bring up the energy in the room with her constant glow!  She is an outstanding student and, though her competition was tough, stands out as the IT Academy 2008 student of the year!  Congratulations CherRy!!" -- A.J.

"Cherry came to accept the funding award for the RoadShow from the United Way on behalf of the Student Council ... she came on her own time and did a great job speaking to and thanking the group." -- Will

"Cherry was quickly identified as leader within her cohort and other ITA students. She was always the first to step to offer assistance from helping with organizing the car wash, decorating for special events to making valentine day cards for sick children. Her warm smile, personality and demeanor made the coldest Saturday fun to be at ITA. I will sincerely miss her..." -- Excell

"Cherry volunteered for just about everything this year. She's dependable and always pleasant to be around. She sets a great example for the other students." -- Alison

"The thing that makes CheRry stand out in any group is her wonderful attitude.  She consistently puts all of her energy and focus into whatever she's doing.  CheRry is always considerate of others and is generous with her sincere smile.  When CheRry is faced with a less positive outcome than she hoped for, she immediately starts looking at ways to improve the situation.  CheRry maintains her positive attitude in the face of disappointment and that is an example from which we can all learn and grow!  I have no doubt that CheRry has a fabulously bright future ahead of her and that she will leave the world a better place than she found it." -- Michelle
