“Your hard work has placed you among a select group of students and has earned you this invitation to join other outstanding high school scholars in recognition of dedication to excellence,” the national society said in a letter to Cepeda.
He was also selected to be a national scholar at the National Young Leaders Conference to be held in Washington, D.C. this summer.
His selection to represent his school and community as a national scholar places him among a very special group of the nation’s top students, and many alumni of the program report that it is a life-changing experience.
For nine days, he will witness his nation’s democracy in action and interact with members of Congress, the executive branch and the national news media. He will go behind-the-scenes and receive an insider’s view of Washington, D.C. and the public policy process while strengthening his leadership abilities.
Martin and Sharlene Cepeda is the proud parents of Martin Dela Cruz Cepeda Jr.
