The Plant City Civitan Club recognized two outstanding students from Plant City and Durant high schools April 3, for their impacting accomplishment by awarding the James C. Billings Scholarship Awards toward their Hillsborough Community College classes.
The Civitan Club was proud to award this honor and Keenya Wright from Durant High and Nancy Mendoza from Plant City.
Mendoza is in the National Honor Society and enjoys volunteering in the Relay for Life and GAP camp course. She also invests her time in bilingual aid and tutoring. She plans to work toward her master’s degree in Nursing.
Wright serves as the president of the youth ministry at her church and is an outstanding student at her school. She has focused her life to become a pediatric nurse.
The Plant City Civitan Club was also honored to have Dr. Daniel Middlebrooks, chaplain of Plant City, to challenge the students in their future endeavors.
“The most important words that any of your patients will hear will be their name,” he told them. “Speak their name with compassion and care, and they will remember your name for life.”
