2. My name is Derek Dvorak. I grew up in North Jersey
and attended High Point Regional High School
where I started tackling for the varsity football team.
Being part of a cultured football family,
fi
ghting
through injuries like a broken leg, and being
involved in the community as a football player
taught me the value of hard work, respect, and
commitment. I used these lessons outside of
football and used them to shape who I am today.
Whether it be working at a restaurant or football
stadium, doing schoolwork, or getting chores done I
commit to hard work every time and being a
respectful person to others.

details to get done faster? Well, what I do is I look
over every

fi

sure it gets done on time. In fact, when working at my former jobs I was
complemented many times on how productive and hard working I was.
