The Austin Noon Kiwanis Student of the Month is Sam Borgerson, a senior at Austin High School.

Borgerson is described as “a very busy, active and outgoing young man who values the Midwestern hard work ethic.”

He is a member of the AHS clay shooting team, previously played various sports, and was part of WORD (We Oppose and Resist Drugs).

“My life consists of school, work and enjoying the outdoors. I enjoy shop class, debate and American government.

“After school, I normally go to work. My weekends are spent in the outdoors year-round — fishing and hunting are more than a sport to me; it’s somewhat of a lifestyle. I like to work with my hands. After high school, I plan to attend a lineman school and would hopefully join the work force soon thereafter.

“I have participated in the 100M4HUNGER, which is an event that raised money to feed people around the world and here in the U.S. I also participated in the 300M4FREEDOM, which raised money to save kids and other victims from sex slavery.

“My mother, Danielle Borgerson-Nesvold, and father, Kelly Nesvold, are a big part of my life and without their help I wouldn’t be where I am today. Another person who has helped me is my boss, Craig Anderson. All three have helped guide me and given great advice for the future.”
