Meet Rebecca Ann Makowski, Another Distinguished Young Woman Participant

This week's Distinguished Young Woman participant is Rebecca Ann Makowski. 

Rebecca is the daughter of Robert and Donna Makowski and has two older sisters Elizabeth and Monica.  Her career goal is to become a Fashion Designer and attend the University of Wisconsin-Stout.

She has achieved high honor roll status and volunteers at work camps and vacation bible school. She is a member of the National Art Honor Society, Spanish Honor Society, Key Club, Art Club, Good Sheperd Youth Group, and dances at Academy of Dance Arts. 

Here is what Rebecca would like to share with everyone. 

Why did you decide to sign up for the DYW Program?

I decided to do DYW because when my sisters went to school I heard about it from their friends and I also had an interest in it since then.

What or who encouraged or motivated you to participate in the DYW Program?

Members from my church who are in the Optimist Club encouraged me to participate.  Also my parents, family, and friends encouraged me to participate.

What do you hope to get out of the program?

From this program I want to get more experiences and a chance to try something new.

What is something you would like people to know about you?

I have been a dancer for 13 years, a vegetarian for three years, and for the past three years I have been volunteering for work camps across the country through my church.

Rebecca we are very excited to have you among this great group of young ladies and we are having a blast getting to know you.

All the young ladies have been working very hard on learning their routines and as a reward they had the opportunity to participate in a skin care and make up clinic provided by Lisa "Cadillac" Mack, which took place at Ally's Bistro. 

A special thank you goes out to Lisa and Rodney and Michelle Zimmerman, Owner's of Ally's Bistro for making the event possible for our young ladies.

This next week they will have the opportunity to meet the members of the School Board and greet guests at the annual Optimist Club Chili Dinner.
