Clint Hewitt, a junior at Chief Sealth High School, recently spoke to an audience of more than 150 Microsoft employees during the 5th Annual Microsoft Charity Scramble at Glendale Country Club.
Clint shared about the power of character education and his experience in becoming a leader and mentor through his involvement in The First Tee of Greater Seattle.
The First Tee is a nonprofit organization that promotes character-development, life-enhancing values, and healthy choices through the game of golf.
As a participant in The First Tee program for the past 5 years, Clint has not only gained a love for the game of golf, but a newfound confidence and appreciation for values like perseverance, integrity, judgment, and responsibility. He has spent the last two summers giving back to the program by mentoring younger kids and serving as an Assistant Coach.
Clint now hopes to take on a career inteaching and coaching so he can teach the same lessons he has learned. “My desire to become an educator has grown through my experiences with The FirstTee. The lessons and tools I have learned are valuable assets to my future.”
