It’s a message Columbus High School2011 graduate TORI EDWARDS took toheart. Through the school’s CommunityService Club, she says she laid the founda-tion for not only a strong resume but also alifetime commitment to serving others.

On a recent afternoon, as she volun-teered with Mississippi Lt. Gov. PhilBryant’s gubernatorial campaign, she talkedabout how community service has enrichedher life. She said she particularly enjoyedworking with the Loaves & Fishes communi-ty soup kitchen.

“I really liked that,” Edwards said. “I wasinvolved in helping people instead of think-ing about myself. Just to see the smiles onthe people’s faces made me feel great.” Shesaid she never realized people in Columbuswent without food until she saw them liningup for a hot meal. “That made me want togive back more to help the community,” shesaid.

Edwards, who plans to attend MississippiState University in the fall to study civil engi-neering, said she plans to continue volun-teering. It has become a way of life, not onlyfor her, but also for her friends — many ofwhom volunteer with her. “I’ll continue to doit until I’m old,” Edwards said. “I love givingback. The expression on people’sfaces…they don’t expect young people to goout and volunteer, but with the economy andpeople out of jobs, it gives young peoplesomething to do to stay out of trouble.”

Edwards said even the busiest studentcan find at least two hours a week to volun-teer. “It really looks good on your resumefor colleges and jobs,” Edwards said. “Youcan always make time…it’s not hard at all.”Some of her other volunteer activities includ-ed working as a cashier at Baptist Memorial-Golden Triangle’s gift shop and workingwith children at the Young’s ChristianAcademy daycare.

Cindy Wiygul, guidance counselor atColumbus High School, said students likeEdwards are on the right track when itcomes to preparing for a bright future. “A lotof colleges are giving scholarships for com-munity involvement and community serv-ice,” Wiygul said. “All scholarships are look-ing for volunteer community service. It’s justas large as the academic part.” Wiygul sug-gested students either try to get involvedwith a school club that has a community

service component or call local organiza-tions like United Way to inquire about volun-teer opportunities. By CARMEN K. SISSON

Heritage Academy senior SCOTTIEDAVIS is getting pretty comfortable aroundconstruction sites. Working on Habitat forHumanity houses will do that. Whether help-ing to hang fixture boxes or putting upcolumns on a front porch, the 17-year-olddoesn’t hesitate to get his hands dirty.

By graduation, Heritage seniors arerequired to have a minimum of 100 commu-nity service hours. Davis endorses that pro-gram. “I think it definitely helps kids get outthere and develop the habit of volunteering,”the HA soccer player stated. HeritageHeadmaster Tommy Gunn added, “We justfeel like giving back to the community iswhat we want to do — that needs to be whothe school is.” Davis himself has already sur-passed the 100 hour total he’ll need, evenbefore his academic senior year begins. Butthat doesn’t deter him.

“There are a lot of people around herethat need help more than anybody can reallyimagine,” said the student, who worked onthe Columbus-Lowndes Habitat forHumanity Heritage House in 2010 and cur-rently is contributing labor at the Habitatbuild on Ninth Avenue South.

His parents, Mike and Abby, are bothactive in community and church. Mike Daviswas involved with the Habitat Heritage buildand now serves on the Habitat board andheads the construction committee.

“Whenever I need help, Scottie’s the guythat will get on the phone and, within 10minutes, have five of his buddies there,” hesaid.

Heritage teacher Rebecca Partain servesas advisor for the annual senior class initia-tive, which this year has been Patriot Park, ahandicapped-accessible playground nowopen at the Baptist MemorialHospital–Golden Triangle walking track.Young Davis helped on that effort, too.

Those capstone projects, as well as the100 community service hours, are designedto instill philanthropy, citizenship and leader-ship in students, Partain said.

“We want to give kids opportunities todevelop their own gifts, their own talents,”she stated. “They’ll then have a strong skillset to take with them post-graduation, so

that they can lead in really effective ways, incommunities, on college campuses and inwhatever organizations they get involved in.”By JAN SWOOPE

The seeds of CHRISTINALEMMERMANN’s volunteer spirit wereplanted years ago by her parents, Alan andPat. “I think I was 11 or 12 years old, and mywhole family took part in a gleaning project,through the Society of St. Andrew affiliatedwith our church,” the Caledonia HighSchool junior said. “We’d go pick blueber-ries and sweet potatoes, I think it was inNoxapater, for their Helping Hands center.”Lemmermann, 16, remembers actually fol-lowing the harvesters on occasion, goingbehind them to fill beds of pickup truckswith produce for agencies like SalvationArmy.

It’s often through her church, FirstPresbyterian in Columbus, that the teenfinds ways to give back to her community.From washing and wrapping buckets des-tined for Haiti with Operation Ukraine, toserving meals at Loaves & Fishes soupkitchen, she has kept busy. “When you seeyou’re really helping people, there’s just anappreciation. And then you realize you’vehad a good time doing it,” she said.

The actions of some too often giveteenagers a bad rap when it comes to caringabout community, she concedes. “I’d defi-nitely say teens do care,” she stated, “but Ido think it’s hard for some, because if theyhaven’t grown up doing volunteer work andthey don’t know the satisfaction you get, Idon’t think it kind of clicks with them.”

That’s where city, school and churchinstigated programs for young people canmake a difference. One of those is theMayor’s Youth Council, which Lemmermannserves on. That group helped serve foodand supervise the children’s play area dur-ing Columbus Mayor Robert Smith’s UnityPicnic in April. “The Council is really a com-munity-building group, because you get tomeet people from all over the area, and youbecome friends,” she said.

Most recently, Lemmermann has becomea volunteer at R.I.D.E.S., the therapeutic rid-ing center in Caledonia. There, she’ll workprimarily with children trying to improvetheir motor skills with the aid of horsebackriding. “When I grow up, I want to find someway to always be helping others,” she stated.

As a new school year begins,Lemmermann plans to continue volunteer-ing where she feels needed most. She’llcarry with her a fundamental lesson fromthe Hugh O’Brien Leadership Conferenceshe attended at Millsaps College in June:“To become a leader, you first must be ableto serve and follow others.”

A good lesson, at any age. By JANSWOOPE

It’s never too soon to begin thinking about your child’scollege education, but with a little planning, you can allevi-ate a lot of the financial stress.

Cindy Wiygul, guidance counselor at Columbus HighSchool, said she sees a lot of parents come into her officewith worries about everything from how to improve theirchild’s ACT scores to how to scale the financial hurdles ofhigher education.

Making an appointment with your child’s guidancecounselor is the first step to ensuring success, she said,and it’s never too soon to begin. In fact, she encouragesparents to meet with her as early as their child’s freshmanyear.

“You need to start earlier than senior year, that’s forsure,” Wiygul said. “You need to start in the ninth gradeto find out what you need to be doing.”

In addition to providing informational pamphlets andadvice about college, Wiygul said she can also provideparents with a timeline to follow, letting them know exact-ly when their child needs to begin doing things like takingthe ACT and applying for scholarships, some of whichrequire specific high school activities and classroom pre-requisites.

“Come in with questions,” she encouraged. As for funding, there’s a plethora of options, from fed-

eral grants to state savings programs. Here are a few ways to take the finan-

cial bite out of higher education:• Apply for grants.

During your child’s sen-ior year, fill out the FreeApplication for FederalStudent Aid (FAFSA).This form, available atyour local high schoolguidance counselor’soffice, and also onlineat www.fafsa.ed.gov,will use your previousyear’s income to determine your child’s eligibili-ty for federal financial aid, such as Pell Grants.

• Aggressively seek scholarships. Manyscholarships are available for academic and athlet-ic achievement, but don’t overlook niche scholarships. Wiygul recommends visiting www.scholarships.com,which offers finely-tuned search options based on gradelevel, major, state, scholarship type, etc.

The site, which boasts 2.7 million local, state, andnational scholarships and grants, also provides financialaid tips, student loan information, and other help.

• Enroll in a prepaid tuition plan or any typeof savings plan.

Wiygul, a mother of twins, had highpraise for Mississippi’s MPACT

program, a guaranteed, statepre-paid tuition plan which

locks in college tuitionrates on the day youopen an account.

Wiygul said she openedMPACT accounts for her sons when they

were two years old. The boys, now 20, arejuniors at the University of Southern

Mississippi and Auburn University. She esti-mates that the MPACT program has saved her

more than $5,000 per year. “MPACT puts the money in right before the

semester starts,” Wiygul said. “I don’t have to calland remind anyone. I don’t have to do anything.”

Many banks also offer savings plans, and Wiygul saidanything parents can do now to begin saving for collegewill ease stress further down the road.
