2021 CLAIRE MERRY/PCCC SCHOLARSHIP
On June 13, 2021, Reyan Lee became the 16th recipient of the Claire Merry/PCCC scholarship. She is the daughter of Wynne and Regan Lee and the granddaughter of Walter and Wanda Miyashiro and Linda Lee-Ho and Cenric Ho. The first recipient was in 2014 and this year marks the 8th year of the PCCC Scholarship.
This condensed passage is taken from Babette Lareau’s introduction speech about Reyan:
The Community Concerns Committee has the task of choosing recipients based on specific criteria and Reyan exceeded in all aspects. Those who have returned to church since COVID, you will sometimes see Reyan at the piano accompanying the rest of the worship team here on Sundays. Reyan is also a member of the God Squad who has, over the years, helped with so many activities PCCC has put on. Not only has Reyan given of her time to the church, but she has also volunteered her time to other community programs in the community.
In academic achievements, Reyan has achieved so many past awards and honors from her freshman to senior year. She is a National Merit Scholar Finalist, National Honor Society and Science Olympiad member, Gold Medalist in the National Robotics Competition, Leeward Community College Dean’s list and More!
Reyan graduated as the valedictorian from Waipahu High School with a GPA of 4.329. Reyan is projected to be the first High School student, in Hawaii, to graduate with an Associate of Science, Natural Science, Engineering Degree from Leeward Community College with a GPA of 4.0. Reyan has chosen to attend the University of California, Berkeley.
The gifts and talents that are given to us by God should be shared. And I believe that Reyan has and will be doing just that. In her essay, Reyan wrote: “I am aiming for a career in the technology field which will allow me to be at the forefront of technological advancements. I see myself eventually working towards a leadership position to direct more resources toward
solving larger problems. I hope to have a successful career so that I can continue to give back to my community through educating and mentoring underrepresented populations.”
May God guide her and watch over her during this amazing journey and may she always know that Pearl City Community Church is here to support her in that journey.
The committee would like to thank all of the generous donors who have contributed to the scholarship fund. We hope you will continue help the children of our church. In addition, the committee would like to ask you for help in letting one of us know of any upcoming graduating senior in the years to come.
