Paul Benningfield

I am a 14-year-old student at Severn River Middle School, currently serving as the 8th-grade representative. I also serve as the lead broadcaster for my school's morning announcements. I have been part of the AVID program for all three years of middle school, which is an organization focused on high school and college preparation. Over the years, I have worked in my neighborhood, offering services such as dog walking, lawn mowing, weeding, mulching, pool cleaning, and house sitting. Additionally, I was a member of the Boy Scouts, where I achieved the rank of First Class. I have also been a member of my community swim team for the past seven years. My other interests include competitive go-kart racing, snowboarding, and surfing.
