18 Wednesday, May 22, 2019 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon Korbin Sharp Sisters High School May 2019 Student of the Month Korbin Sharp is a gifted athlete and a strong student who demands a lot of himself in the classroom and outside it. “I’ve always been pretty ambitious with my academics,” he said, noting that he is particularly focused on English and social sciences. He takes the toughest classes he can in an effort to “be the best version of myself and achieve my potential.” Korbin serves as Senior Class President and has played varsity football and is a varsity track athlete. “I just really love to compete,” he says of his athletic endeavors. Sharp plans to study business, either at Baylor University or at the Seattle Pacific University Honors College. He is the founder of Faith Club at Sisters High School, and participates in the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. Korbin attended Sisters Christian Academy from kindergarten through fifth grade, and then entered the public schools in Sisters. He acknowledges that he has not been exposed to other educational systems, but still considers his experience in Sisters “exceptional,” particularly in his favorite areas of study. He also recognizes the unique opportunities he’s had. “I’m building my own guitar right now, and writing my own songs and per- forming with the Americana Project,” he said. “That’s all really unique to Sisters — and it’s pretty awesome.” “Korbin is an extremely talented Outlaw. He has been a leader within the Americana Project and Choir classes for many years. His songs have made it onto the Americana Project CD for the past 2 years. He has been highlighted as a featured soloist in several of the choir concerts. Korbin’s positive and re- spectful attitude have helped lead the music department and he will be very missed once he graduates. Congratulations Korbin!” — Rick Johnson “Korbin is a servant leader with the in- terests of others frequently in mind. He is disciplined, polite, earnest, and thought- ful. He is the epitome of the student ath- lete. His future is bright.” — Charlie Kanzig “Korbin is an all-around outstanding person. It’s hard to imagine Sisters High School without him. He has excelled in his studies, but more than that he is an excellent human being. Korbin always gives 100% in everything he does and his genuine care and concern for others is known through- out our community. Refl ecting on his path over the past four years, Korbin once wrote, ‘I’ve learned not to live my life ac- cording to others, but rather to discern who I want to become and chase that ambition, no one else’s.’ It is that sort of self-awareness, coupled with his attitude of service to others, that makes Korbin an Outstanding Outlaw. Congratula- tions, Korbin!” — Gail Greaney “Korbin Sharp is an incredible leader by example and gives every- thing he has to the programs he is involved in. He is a great athlete but a better teammate. He embodies the C3 culture in our football program and gives his time, effort and compassion selfl essly.” — Neil Fendall “Korbin Sharp is a star Outlaw and a kind, caring person. I have loved getting to know Korbin over the past four years and am so impressed by his willingness to em- brace the challenges that come with grace and humility. He does what it takes to learn at a deep level. He sets a high bar both academically and athletically. He is a leader by example. I am so grateful Korbin is a part of our community. I wish him the best as he ventures forward in life!” — Rima Givot “Korbin, is a complete joy to be around and to work with. Korbin is very creative and totally authentic. Can’t wait to see what he does in the future.” — Tony Cosby These businesses have joined The Nugget in supporting our youth and their accomplishments by co-sponsoring the Student of the Month program. — Abraham Lincoln 541-595-3838 The Ranch 541-549-5555 in Sisters| blackbutte.com Climb High, Climb Far We are proud of your achievements. 260 N.
