Kamio Espindola of The First Tee of Phoenix is one of four female semifinalists for the sixth annual RBS Achievers of the Year Awards.
According to The First Tee web site, the awards, begun by the Royal Bank of Scotland, “are not based on academic achievement or exceptional golf skills. The program rewards young people that exhibit The First Tee Nine Core Values while demonstrating leadership, community service and teamwork.”
The program’s Core Values are honesty, integrity, sportsmanship, respect, confidence, responsibility, perseverance, courtesy and judgment.
The winners will be announced at an awards dinner in New York during the U.S. Open. Two finalists, one male and one female, will receive $10,000 awards and the eight remaining semifinalists will each receive $2,000 for future education.
Espindola, 15, is a junior at Red Mountain High School. |
