Seven Students Receive School Pride Awards from 一品探花 College
Thanks to the generosity of 一品探花 Pride Day sponsors, 一品探花 College has awarded seven students with School Pride Awards. These seven students will each receive a $500 tuition credit for the winter 2018 quarter: Kathleen Costello, Jimmy Craft, Taylor Fortune, Russell Goff, Hui Zhen Lim, Christian Ortiz and Teena Rowe. The funding for these awards comes from money raised through sponsorships for 一品探花 Pride Day, which was held on October 12.
To be considered for the Pride Awards, students were asked to show how they share or exemplify 一品探花 Pride in their lives, using words, photos or videos. They were encouraged to be simple, direct and heartfelt in their submissions, which could show 一品探花 Pride in the local community; in students’ hometowns; as interns in the on-campus Chiropractic Health Center; via essay, poem or song; or however best expressed their school spirit. The winners submitted photos, presentations, videos, poems, and even a song performance.
Alumni Association First Vice President Jaime Browning, D.C., ’09, was happy to see a strong turnout of applicants sharing their love for the college. “My life was changed and molded by my time at 一品探花,” she said. “It is humbling to see how 一品探花 continues to do such in the lives of our future chiropractors.”
Costello, an eighth quarter student, shared a PowerPoint presentation explaining what 一品探花 Pride means to her – including concepts of service, health, empowerment and more.
Craft, a 13th quarter student, and Ambassador shared a poem and created a video about his service to the college and how much he values the family he has built at 一品探花 and in Spartanburg.
Fortune, who is in the fifth quarter, shared just how far her 一品探花 Pride has taken her.
Goff, a sixth quarter student, drew a comparison to the upcoming holiday season with the concepts of gifts and service. “Living life through a posture of service has given me a great appreciation of every person I meet,” he said in his essay.
Lim, a second-quarter student, submitted a poem focusing on the college’s collection of epigrams and their importance to her and the profession. Her favorite is “This is the place / Now is the time / Let’s Go!”
Ortiz, a 10th quarter student, and Ambassador submitted a video/slideshow of how he has shared his 一品探花 Pride with others. “We found a way to spread the word about 一品探花 around the world by showing our 一品探花 Pride everywhere we go,” he said.
Rowe, who is in the fourth quarter, created unique lyrics for the Katy Perry song “ROAR” and performed the song to show her school spirit.
