Alumni Spotlight: Daniel Norwood (Class of 2011) What is your current occupation? Domestic Violence Advocate and Town of Acton Selectperson How did your experiences at Sanford help you reach your education and/or professional goals? SHS offered many hands-on learning opportunities in the classroom and through numerous extra-curricular activities. Clubs such as Mock Trial, Young Adults Against Dating Abuse, The Civil Rights Team, and Key Club all gave me valuable life lessons and skills that I still utilize today on a regular basis. They showed me my passions, how to work alongside people from all walks of life, be an engaged member of my community, and advocate for what I know to be right. What was the most valuable lesson you learned as a student at Sanford? Failure is inevitable. We will all fail, but regardless of whether you fail or succeed, you should always be true to yourself. I ran for class president every conceivable time. Time after time, I lost until my senior year. When that announcement came over the intercom that I had won, the victory was sweet, but the proudest moment was all my peers and classmates coming up to me afterward and telling me why they voted for me. Each of them commented how they noticed that every time I lost an election, it didn’t impact my work; they continued to see me working at homecoming and prom, volunteering to do whatever I could for our class, and how they felt that I had earned the chance to serve as our class president. I stayed true to who I was and my classmates saw that. Read more here: https://www.sanford.org/article/1896647 Fill out our form to be considered for our Alumni Spotlight feature.
