2019-2020 Student Rotarian Application- Mia Kroll Hello, my name is Mia Love Kroll and I am a senior at Lake Mills High School. My parents are Dr. Chris Kroll, a chiropractor at Lake Mills Chiropractic, and Dr. Amy Kroll, an audiology professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I have an older sister, Carinna, she is a sophomore at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse and I have a younger brother, Bode, who is a freshman at Monona Grove High School. A big part of our family is our dog Luna, she is a black Aussiedoodle. We also have a bird named Buddy. I am very interested in sports, I play tennis and soccer. I am also very involved in music and volunteering in the community. In my free time I like to bake and I like skiing.
Tam very involved in my school. I have been an active participant and taken leadership roles in multiple music, volunteering, sports and other clubs. Here is a full list including the grades I was involved in them: Drama Club (9, 10, 11) President (12)
Tennis (9, 10, 11) Captain (12) Musical (9, 10, 11, 12)
Soccer (9, 10, 11) Captain (12) Spring Play (11, 12)
Basketball (9, 10) Trim Music Society (10, 11, 12)
NHS (11) Treasurer (12) Choir (9, 11, 12) Secretary (10)
Optimist Club (9, 10, 11, 12) Show Choir (10) Secretary (11) President (12) Forensics (9, 10) Link Crew (11, 12)
Ski Club (9, 10, 11, 12) Spanish Club (9, 10, 11, 12)
SLAAC (12) FFA (12)
Thave had the amazing opportunity to be a part of community involvement and community service through many school clubs in the past four years. For Trim we have done Christmas caroling around the local businesses during the winter
season. Show Choir always performs at many of the local Nursing homes in Spring. NHS has an annual blood drive that I have volunteered for in the past. SLAAC is a relatively new club at the Lake Mills High School, we plan to have an event every month and last month we read to the children at the Elementary school. Optimist
club leads in my community activities, I have helped at Knickerbocker festival, Witches Night Out, and we have filled Easter Eggs for an annual Easter Egg Hunt. One of my favorite things was when I helped out at the Annual Jr. Fisheree. I got to register the kids everytime they caught a fish and hand them free ice cream scoops. It was really rewarding to see how happy the kids were after they caught a fish, and it was a great group to be a part of.
After I graduate from High School, I plan to go to college and major in Biology. I have applied to the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the University of Minnesota Twin Cities, and now I am waiting to be accepted. In the future I want an
occupation in the medical field. I plan to go into orthopedics but I am keeping an open mind because you never know what can happen. I want to go into the medical field because I am very passionate about science. During my time in high school | have taken biology, chemistry, physics, anatomy, ag science, and AP bio. I also know that I want to help people, and the medical field is the perfect place to do that.
As a Student Rotarian there are many things I hope to learn. I am very excited to hear the guest speakers and interact with the Lake Mills Business community. I hope to gain more information about the service projects rotary organizes, and what I can do in the future to be a leader in my community.

came from helping with or carrying out eagle service projects I have helped with three eagle
