Rio Baran, an IB student at Urbana High School was FWCC, Inc.'s 2019 HOBY scholarship recipient. Rio shared ideas and concepts that she gained from this experience.
She experienced activities focusing on leadership training for the individual, as a group, and as member of society.
Rio stated that she learned to listen more fully.
Her future plans include an opportunity to do research next summer in the Galapagos through a program with UNC. She hopes to pursue some sort of STEM study.
Rio enthusiastically advised that any student who has the opportunity to participate in HOBY, “should go for it.”
