Van Cleave/Garcia

My name is Samuel Van Cleave. I am a dedicated student-athlete from Daphne who values faith, leadership, hard work, and community. I play quarterback for Bayshore Christian School, where I have developed strong leadership skills, discipline, and the ability to work under pressure while encouraging my teammates to succeed. My faith is an important part of my life, and I regularly attend youth events at Faith Family Fellowship, where I continue to grow spiritually and build meaningful relationships. Outside of school and sports, I enjoy helping my grandfather on the cattle farm, which has taught me the value of hard work. I also enjoy fishing and playing video games with friends. For more than four years, I have been involved with TeenPact, where I have strengthened my communication, and leadership.

My name is Jose Garcia, and I am a motivated and disciplined young leader with a strong background in leadership development and community involvement. For the past four years, I have been an active member of the Civil Air Patrol, where I have gained experience in teamwork, responsibility, communication, and service. Through this program, I have developed important leadership skills while learning the value of discipline and integrity. I am also involved in the Classical Conversations homeschool community, which has strengthened my critical thinking, public speaking, and collaboration abilities. In addition, I have participated in TeenPact since I was 10 years old, giving me experience in leadership training, civic involvement, and personal growth. Alongside these activities, I have attended several other leadership schools and programs that have further prepared me to lead and serve others effectively. I aspire to become a pilot and am committed to pursuing excellence, leadership, and service in my future career.
