Next Level U Statement

Hello,

My name is Isaac Cherewka. Thank you for taking the time to check out my profile.  My goal is to attend a four year program in the Canada or the USA, and compete with the best athletes I can while graduating with a degree in construction. I am committed to achieving success both for myself and my team. I work as hard on my academics as I do on my athletics.

Here are a few other things that you might find interesting about me.

First off, I am the only boy of seven kids. That’s right; I have six sisters. I have two sisters that are older than me and four younger sisters. After my parents had the first four kids (I was number three), they knew they wanted more. An opportunity came up to adopt three sisters. They sat down with the family, and we all talked and agreed that it would be a fantastic opportunity to welcome them into our family. Our family went from four kids to seven kids overnight. It’s been that way for the last six years. My youngest sisters are 7, 9, and 12 years of age.

For employment, I have started working in the construction industry. Because I want to go to school for architecture, I thought it would be a good idea to learn a little bit about the other side of the building industry. The knowledge I can take from my experience in demolition, drywall, roofing and other construction work in the last two years will also prove invaluable for my career.

My family has a strong belief in volunteering. For the last three summers, I have been a camp counselor up at our church camp. When it is not the summer, I volunteer to help out at a soup kitchen once a month. I help set and clear the tables and put away dishes. My time volunteering at the soup kitchen has taught me that it only takes a few mistakes to end up on the wrong side of the table.

I also love music. I started creating my playlist on my phone and, from there, moved into collecting vinyl records. Some would say my music taste is very eclectic. I like everything from early Blues right up to Drake. I also enjoy playing the guitar. Playing music has given me a new appreciation for the music I listen to day-to-day.

As for sports, I enjoy playing hockey, football, and running track (100m and 200m). I play rep hockey, football, and have represented my school in track at CWOSSA.

I have spent as much time focussing on my academics as I have on my athletics. I am enrolled in all academic / honour classes (Health science -Physics -English -Math (college tech) -Math (data management) -Architectural Design) and  have been an honour roll recipient for grade 9, 10, 11 and 12.

I hope to combine my athletic and academic abilities to go to an outstanding university in either Canada or the United States. I plan on focussing on construction / architecture in school.

Please let me know if there is anything else you need from me. I look forward to hearing from you.

Isaac
