Patch Whiz Kid of the Week: Andrea Valentine Hoyland

Congratulations to our Patch Whiz Kid of the Week: Andrea Valentine Hoyland

Age: 16

School/Church/Community Center:

Home schooled through Florida Virtual School

Accomplishments:

Andrea has been a member of the Gulfport Teen Council and has helped out with the Clam Bayou clean up. She also helped clean up parts of Gulfport with her youth group YNOD. She just applied for a summer junior counselor job at the Gulfport Recreation Center.

Key to Awesomeness:

Andrea attributes much of what she has done to her faith. An active member of her youth group, YNOT, and the Central Christian Church in St. Petersburg, Andrea thinks that nothing is impossible with the help of God. She considers her faith and belief as a guiding point in her life and that her faith gives her strength to do whatever she needs to and it will help he succeed later on in life.
