Distinguished Finalist

Mackenzie Calloway, 17, of Hanover, Maryland, a senior at North County High School, regularly volunteers hours of her time at Hospice of Chesapeake; she completed training to work directly with hospice patients, offering support and companionship during the last stage of their lives. Mackenzie plans to continue this volunteer project as a way to give back to her community, and hopes to become a heart surgeon in the future.
