TCTC Junior brings awareness to Meals on Wheels
WARREN, Ohio (WKBN) – Trumbull Career and Technical Center student Kierstin Richoz chose the non-profit Meals On Wheels for her written PSA entry in the Tom Holden Memorial Scholarship contest.
The junior is in the interactive multimedia program and enjoys making skits with her friends and working on her own, TCTC Time show. She also has a Girard podcast that she works on. Her goal is to attend Kent State University to obtain a degree in business.
'The Meals on Wheels PSA was meant to bring awareness to something I thought people knew about, but it wasn't brought to everyone's attention all the time,' said Kierstin. 'I thought it'd be something important for everyone to see. I believe it's something that should be shown more everyone should know about and I believe, especially for this community, that a lot of people need to hear these things, and they need to know that there is someone that can help them.'
Kierstin was the second runner-up in the contest. Read her script for Meals On Wheels here:
