AWARDS HONORS

The PADI Open Water Diver course includes three parts: Knowledge Development, Confined Water Dives, and Open Water Dives. Knowledge Development covers the principles, concepts and terms you need to know to dive safely. During the Confined Water Dives, you learn and practice scuba skills in a pool. To complete the training you practice, apply and demonstrate what you learned during four Open Water Dives to a Master Dive Instructor.

Dive centers and resorts require proof of certification before they will rent scuba equipment, fill scuba cylinders or book dive excursions. As a PADI Open Water Diver, you are allowed to dive a maximum depth of 60 feet.

The Order of the Arrow (OA) is the National Honor Society of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA), composed of Scouts and Scouters who best exemplify the Scout Oath and Law in their daily lives as elected by their peers. The society was created by E. Urner Goodman, with the assistance of Carroll A. Edson, in 1915 as a means of reinforcing the Scout Oath and the Scout Law.

It uses imagery commonly associated with American Indian cultures for its self-invented ceremonies. These ceremonies are usually for recognition of leadership qualities, camping skills, and other scouting ideals as exemplified by their elected peers.

I have maintained Academic Honors and High Honors as a Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior at Newtown High School. I will continue to work hard in my Senior year to graduate with very high academic honors.
