Zachary Forrest-Woodman

I possess strong leadership skills, always striving to inspire and guide others toward success while fostering a collaborative environment. My ability to listen attentively and learn from those around me allows me to continuously grow and adapt to new situations. I approach challenges with determination and a strong work ethic, never shying away from hard work or putting in the extra effort to achieve my goals. Whether solving problems independently or as part of a team, I focus on finding effective solutions and staying persistent until the task is completed. These qualities not only help me succeed but also motivate others to do their best.

At the age of 9, my family experienced a devastating house fire that destroyed everything we had. I was the first to notice the fire, and not only did I alert my family, but I also evacuated my two younger brothers, who were 5 and 3 years old, from the house. In recognition of my bravery at such a young age, I was honored with the Young Hero Award by the mayor and the fire department.
