These items can be used to great advantage...

The 2nd thing we do is have student write a memoir... this describes in their own words what happened to them during the season...

I have these for 4 years now and they are very valuable to show a student how far they have come...
And this type of documentation can be a great jumping off point for both the Regional Chairman's Award entries and for essays required for scholarships, awards (including the new Dean's List Award) and college applications.
