ANIKA REAVILLE is going to change the world one day.
As a student at Bert Church High School, the 15 year-old is doing everything she can to better herself. From taking leadership classes and volunteering, to excelling in academics, Reaville is excited about her future.
“All of these experiences I’ve had have cemented my commitment to making a positive difference,” says Reaville.
“My goal is to grow as a leader, help others reach their potential, and use the skills I’ve gained — like problem-solving and adaptability — to create a supportive community and pursue entrepreneurship.”
Reaville is a member of the 88 Lynx Royal Canadian Air Cadets Squadron and has been a part of the program since she was 12.
As a cadet, she has volunteered in a variety of different activities, including cleaning up Airdrie and fundraising for the Legion, as well as volunteering at the Hangar Flight Museum for Father’s Day. She has also honed her public speaking skills, marksmanship and drills.
“Energy is another defining characteristic of Annika,” says nominator Marie Johnson, who mentored Reaville in Air Cadets.
“Her dynamic presence is evident in everything she does, from participating in training exercises to leading team activities. Her boundless enthusiasm drives her to take on responsibilities with vigor, and her proactive approach often motivates others to elevate their own engagement and performance.”
