Jordaon Elizabeth Anderson:
Jordan Anderson has a great track record for community service. Her total hours spent in service far exceeds the average. From picking pears to serving food to teaching volleyball to reading to children – she has done them all. Her favorite, though was making pillowcases for cancer patients in her freshman year at Glide.

Besides being influenced by Mr. Doty and her science teacher Mr. Shaw, there is one particular incident that impressed upon her the amazing field of medicine. When she tore her ACL and had to undergo surgery she was so impressed by the technology she became interested in medicine as a career choice.

Jordan will be attending Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah to major in Biochemistry. From there she will select a medical school and become a doctor. Jordan has taken college level writing, history, chemistry and physical science classes at Glide high school.

Something unique about Jordan centers around her love of music. She sang soprano in choir. She plays the flute and was first flute in grades 11 and 12. She and has a collection of several flutes, is self teaching piano, and fiddles around with the violin, guitar, and ukelele. She collects musical instruments and says every time her mom goes somewhere she asks her to find another musical instrument for her collection.

In sports Jordan played volleyball all 4 years and went to state tournament 2 years. She was in track and field also. She has been in National Honor Society and literature club the last 3 years and outdoor club senior year. She is very involved in her church and has time for Glide booster club and donated time in Bright Works Oregon.

Those who recommend Jordan for this scholarship call her a very well rounded young lady, dependable, invested, passionate, hard working, committed to excellence and naturally talented. She ranks #1 in her class of 51 students.

On behalf of the Glide Scholarship Committee and Glide Community Club, I would like to present this scholarship to Jordan Anderson.
