BRIGHTON, Mich. May 3, 2012 - Recently we were approached by a lovely young lady who is
trying to raise money to go to the Washington
Youth Summit on the Environment in Washington, D.C. this summer from June
24th –June 29th. Meet Alexandra Fischer: Alexandra is
sophomore at Brighton High School who has been nominated as a National Youth
Delegate to attend the Summit by one of her teachers. After listening to Alex’s
story we were more than happy to help sponsor her trip. After reading this we
hope that you’ll help too.
The Washington Youth Summit on the Environment is a once in
a lifetime opportunity. As a National Youth Delegate, she will be recognized as
one of the most promising young leaders in environmental conservation and will
join the select group of other young leaders like her from across the country
to share in this experience. This convention will be held at George Mason University in Washington D.C. and
will be hosted by The National
Geographic Society and the Smithsonian
National Museum. Alex was nominated, anonymously by one of her teachers
because of her outstanding academic record and her sincere interest in
environmental preservation.
Meet Alexandra Fischer |
Alexandra was born and raised right here in Brighton, MI.
She is currently finishing up her sophomore year at Brighton High School. Alex
is on the BHS Equestrian team and is also involved in the Top Dogs Sports
Leadership program, which is a program for sophomores on sports teams with
potential to become great team captains. On average, Alex rides 2-3 days a week
over at Higgins Stables and on
Saturdays she works at the barn to help pay off her lessons. She usually grooms
the horses, helps give riding lessons, or lends a hand where she can. Alex is
very dedicated to her schoolwork, she said she spends a lot of time studying
and doing homework. She even said she is a, “self-proclaimed nerd.” We believe
Alex is one of the best well-rounded students around, not just a “nerd.” In
what we can only imagine is a very small amount of free-time in this busy
girl’s life she enjoys watching Glee and Criminal Minds, reading The Hunger
Games, and listening to Keane, Fun, Young the Giant, the Bravery,
Augustana, and Passion Pit.
After high school, Alex would like to study environmental
science or environmental engineering at a technical institute like MIT or Stanford.
She is also considering applying to schools in Chicago and New York to experience
life in a big city while furthering he education, or applying to the Naval Academy. Wherever she goes
she wants to follow her passion and study environmental science.
After getting to know Alexandra and learning about the
Washington National Youth Summit on the Environment we were more than happy to
help sponsor her. We are not alone either, many other Brighton businesses are
stepping up and lending Alex a hand including:

Cook and Hayden Vision Care Center
Alexandra is keeping a blog called Alex on the Environment,
which will keep everyone posted on the Washington National Youth Summit on the
