TREVOR CAMPBELL EARNS ROBERT BERCAW SCHOLARSHIP
Hobart Institute of Welding Technology awards
the 2003 Robert Bercaw Scholarship to Trevor Gene
Campbell of Indianola, Iowa.
A recent graduate of Indianola High School
and Central Campus in Des Moines, Trevor has been
active in sports and church activities along with
being employed while attending school.
Trevor was also awarded the Senior
Achievement Award in Welding at Central Campus,
recognizing his outstanding achievement and
completion of the full Central Campus program.
“Trevor
is a very hard worker and role model for other class
members,” says Ralph T. Young, Central Campus
Welding Instructor.
“He has a very good work ethic that has
helped him see a purpose for learning and perfecting
various [welding] techniques.”
Trevor
has participated in wrestling for eleven years and
this year was his 4th year qualifying for
the State Wrestling Tournament.
He has also been active in the youth program,
encouraging and motivating younger students.
“The endurance and
confidence wresting brings has been most helpful to
me,” Trevor comments. “I have learned to focus
independently and am very driven, self-disciplined,
and dependable.”
Those
same traits have earned him accolades from his
supervisors at work and at school. Some of the jobs he has performed include laying sod for a
landscape company, pouring cement, farming, building
bridges for a large construction company, working at
the Iowa State Fair Waste Management Company, and
many other jobs.
In the summer, it isn’t unusual for him to
work 16-hour days.
“Trevor
is a very hard worker, willing and quick to learn,
pitches in to help without being told, and does
above and beyond what is asked of him,” says David
Glascock, one of his employers.
“His work ethics are very good and he
carries a maturity about him that is above his
age.”
“Trevor
very much wants to attend school and graduate with a
welding degree.
He is a very goal oriented young man who sets
goals and works hard to attain them,” says Wesley
D. Creason, Athletic Director at Bondurant High
School and Trevor’s former coach.
