Edmonds Heights K-12

Student Name: Christopher Park
Mother’s Name: Carmela Park
Father’s Name: Douglas Park
GPA: 3.8
Clubs & Activities: I am a member of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) and the Order of the Arrow (the national honor society for BSA). I like to take hikes and camping trips with my troop buddies.
Athletics: As a Boy Scout I was active outside of organized sports. We took monthly trips to different parts of western Washington. One of my favorite trips was a week-long canoe trip to Ross Lake. On this trip we traveled a total of 50 miles with friends from my troop; I joined a martial arts class in the second semester of my senior year.
Honors: I am a life scout currently finalizing my eagle rank. The eagle rank is the highest award in the BSA. For every 100 scouts that go for this rank only two on average actually obtain it.
Awards: I have completed all the requirements for the eagle rank award and scheduled the meeting with representatives from the BSA and my troop that will make it official.
Community Service: As a Boy Scout of America, I have worked many hours of community service and in many different situations. Through my troop, I have worked in numerous eagle projects. I have even planned, coordinated, and implemented a project myself. I have worked with a service group called the Cascade Leadership Challenge. With this group I worked at Mt. Rainer National Park to restore a camp site that had been ruined in a wind storm. I have also worked through the Order of the Arrow on service projects in summer camps and at local parks.
Culminating Project: During my senior year, I took up programming for my senior project. I studied programming because I plan to work in the field in the future. The program that I put together puts a message through a cypher that encrypts and decrypts the message depending on the command you make. This program took me months to start and finish because I literally had to research how it all worked. I learned many fundamental lessons on programming through this experience.
Current Employment: I am in the process of finding a job at local supermarkets and depot stores. I hope to get an entry level job as a courtesy clerk.
Future Educational Goals: I plan to go to the University of Washington where I will study computer programing in depth. As a part of my career plan, I will join the ROTC while applying for their scholarship program. I hope to go into the military to further my practical experience in my work field.
Future Career Goals: I plan to find a job in computer programing.
