The 2009 graduate of Grace Christian School earned a 4.06 grade point average and finished with very high honors. She plans to attend Marshall in the fall.
Rotary member John Anderson pointed out during the presentation that the eligibility criteria states the applicant must follow the philosophy of Rotary International of "Service above self," and she fulfilled it by being involved in both her community and church.
At her church, Sizemore is an AWANA leader, a children's church teacher and nursery worker. At Grace Christian School, she was varsity volleyball captain and a member of the Scholars Club and the English Club. She mentored her peers at Grace Christian by being a Buddy Basketball coach and working in the school's Serve-A-Thon. Her community work included working phone lines at the Republican Headquarters and working on a promotional video for her school.
