Canton Whiz Kid: Amy Chung

Name:  Amy Chung, Age 17

School: Canton High School

Key to Awesomeness: Singing! She sings the National Anthem at many school sporting events and Canton-area functions.

Accomplishments: Amy Chung, a senior at is motivated to do the things she does because she likes to help other people. As a member of the Rally Committee, she “loves to see “people have fun” and show school spirit.

That same force drove Amy to become a CCD teacher. When she attended CCD, she was interested in what she was learning. She became inspired to make that learning more fun–which she has done for third graders last year and sixth graders this year.

Amy has been dancing since before she was two-years-old. Following in her older sister’s footsteps, she stayed with it because she “loves it so much.” She began her vocal lessons at age seven.

With a passion for the arts, Amy takes Music Theory and Media Literacy as her electives. She also helps her dance teacher by teaching younger dancers when needed.

This refreshing is on the honor roll and was accepted to Emmanuel College on early admission. She looks forward to starting classes this fall.

I “just do it for the joy,” said Amy. Quite simply, Amy enjoys the things she chooses to spend her free time on.

Amy’s joy is infectious. It is easy to see how she spreads joy to people around her. This is one special !
