The Community Foundation for Crawford County is pleased to introduce Gwen Ruth, a 2023 recipient of the Holmes Liberty Alumni Scholarship award and one of the four Wynford FFA Rising Sun Scholarship awards.
Gwen, the daughter of Rodney Ruth and Sally Ruth, is a 2023 graduate of Wynford High School. She is attending Ohio Northern University this fall and studying Middle Childhood Education.
What inspired you to choose your intended major?
"Throughout my time at Wynford, I got to learn from many amazing and inspiring teachers. Seeing teachers passionate about what they are teaching and helping students have that 'aha' moment inspires me to do the same. My mother's love for learning and giving her students the best experience she can has also been a major influence on my decision."
What are your career and life goals after you graduate?
"After graduating college, I plan to teach 4th or 5th grade science and math in a rural school environment, possibly here in Crawford County. I would like to earn my Master's Degree later in my career."
Congratulations and good luck in the future, Gwen!
