I am Gavin Wang, a Class of 2026 student at NVHS. High schools offer countless opportunities, and I want to help future students realize and thrive in them to their fullest potential. Beyond academics, I won first place in Illinois for a national art contest and a gold medal at a national-level TaeKwonDo competition, experiences that deepened my understanding of the qualities needed to excel in any field. I also received the Gold PVSA for instructing and refereeing TaeKwonDo, with over 100 hours of experience teaching students ages 5 to 62, including those with intellectual disabilities. Through these experiences, I learned that everyone is capable of success; sometimes, they just need someone to help them recognize that focus and determination are the true drivers of reaching their goals.
