Chickasaw Foundation Citizenship Award
Congratulations to Mr. Nicholas Hardy for being selected for the 2011 Chickasaw Foundation Upward Bound (CFUB) Citizenship Award. He is a junior at Milburn High School and the son of Ms. Rebecca Hardy.
Nick is a fun loving, polite guy who never meets a stranger. He has a positive attitude and goes above and beyond to help others in need. Nick always has a smile on his face and is willing to volunteer his time to talk with everyone in the program. He is an outstanding student at his school and in his community.
Nick has accomplished many goals since he first came into the program. He was a shy guy who was very quiet and not a risk taker. Now he gets involved in many activities and encourages others. He has become an outgoing, enthusiastic student who will try new things and encourages others to do so as well.
We are pleased to have Nick Hardy as a participant in our program.
