2 BOISE ROTARY CENTURY SCHOLARS PROGRAM • APRIL 10, 2022This publication presents the 17th annual Boise Rota-ry Century Scholars Program. In these unsettling times, we feel the recognition of our highest per-forming students and their extraordinary educators is more important than ever. It is with this in mind that we welcome you to help us celebrate these high performing students and their educators. This very special program is being sponsored by several of the Treasure Valley’s Rotary Clubs and other long time community supporters to recognize the exceptional value our entire community places on high academic achievement. Each student being recognized has substantially exceeded the minimum program grade point average requirement of 3.75 and represents the best in music, the arts, service to community, athletics and academics in each of our high schools. Our honorees also serve as role models for younger siblings and other students throughout Boise who look to them for leadership and guidance. Each student also had the opportunity to name three educators that played an important part in their life. You will see the names of each of those educators listed in this publication. One of those educators is also invited to accompany them to a special awards ceremony in their honor.At this special awards ceremony, each student and educator will receive a medallion and a certificate. These high achieving students and the influential teachers and counselors who represent the many talented and dedicated educators throughout our community deserve nothing less.Encouraging our students in their pursuit of excellence brings value and the promise of leadership to our community. This program provides us the opportunity to recognize the attainment of excellence by the top 100 of this class of Boise’s graduating seniors. It also allows us the opportunity to reward and honor representative educators who have played such a major role in the success of each of our students. With all the attention being paid to high school graduates going on to college, we thought it would be important to share with you how previous Century Scholars are doing. The college-going rate of the 2021 Boise Rotary Century Scholars stands at 82%, well above Idaho’s 2021 average col-lege-going rate of 37% as reported by Idaho Education News. These percentages are for students who graduated from high school and then attended 2 or 4 year colleges the next fall semester. While rates are lower than in previous years, these are still impressive rates given the unusual circumstances that college bound students found themselves in last fall.Rotary is all about the development of leadership and service above self. Boise’s Rotarians believe that the greatest value of the Century Scholars Program is in recognizing students who are striving to be leaders and also applaud the dedication of our educators and the critical role they play in helping students grow as learners and as people. The well-being of our city, state, nation and world is dependent upon the minds and hearts of those we honor in this year’s Boise Rotary Century Scholars Program and those who will follow after them. From our vantage point, we are in good hands and our future looks bright.

APRIL 10, 2022 • BOISE ROTARY CENTURY SCHOLARS PROGRAM 13Distinguished AlumnusIn the development of the Boise Rotary Century Scholars Program, committee members and Boise Rotary leaders felt that an essential part of the evening program would be an address to student honorees, significant educators and guests by a distinguished alumnus from one of the eight partici-pating high schools. Who better to excite and inspire this prestigious group of students than an individual who also graduated from high school in the City of Boise and went on to interesting and varied careers and recog-nized success in life. In this, the seventeenth year of the Boise Rotary Century Scholars Program, we are proud to announce the selection of 2014 Bishop Kelly High School graduate Dani Aravich to deliver the Distinguished Alumnus Address. When Dani was born missing her left arm below the elbow, it was a complete surprise, but they were thankful she was otherwise completely healthy. At that time in the mid-nineties, testing wasn’t done locally for amniotic band syndrome, but that is the most likely reason for upper extremity limb loss. “Although it was a shock initially that our daughter was born without her left forearm and hand, we were determined to raise our little girl without limiting or restricting her potential, and never treating her as if she were disabled.”For the first year, they were warned that crawling might begin later for her than other children, but Dani found a way to never crawl by rolling. At 8 months, she rolled everywhere, and was an early walker before 11 months. Dani received her first prosthetic arm at 6 months old from Shriners Children’s Hospital in Salt Lake City, and the photo of her looking at it for the first time with a huge smile on her face is something else. At the age of one, the family moved to Salt Lake City, and Dani was able to join a weekly playgroup at Shriners. There, she met other children missing limbs, learned how to utilize a “helper” and learned ways to do things with one hand. At the age of 2, she was alpine skiing with her mom in Park City and Brighton. By 3, she was on her first soccer team, a sport she continued until her Junior year in High School. She also began her first gymnastics, swimming and taekwondo classes. At the age of 4, the family moved to Spokane, Washington where she also participated in the local Shriners Hospital activities there. While camping in Glacier National Park in 2001, Dani rode her bike without training wheels for the first time, a feat that Shriner’s told the family would not happen as soon as able-bodied children. She began playing T-ball (later softball) and basketball and continued both until Junior/Senior year. Dani began ice skating regularly, tried ballet and tap dance and continued her skiing, gymnastics and taekwondo.At the end of first grade, the family moved back to Boise, and she started at St Mark’s Catholic School while playing team sports as well as horseback riding, both English and western, and bowling weekly. Fami-ly activities involved many weekends and vacations traveling, camping, fishing and hiking which led to her life-long love for the out-doors. Dani loved to read, craft and submitted crafts annually in the Western Idaho Fair, and participated in girl scouts, but mostly, she loved sports.Dani attended Bishop Kelly High School in Boise and graduated in 2014. She earned Varsity letters in Softball, Cross Country and Track & Field, the last two she began in Junior year when she immediately fell in love with long distance running. Achieving both academic and athletic success, Dani was accepted into numerous colleges and universities and ultimately decided to attend Butler Univer-sity in Indianapolis to run for a Division I program. Plagued with Patellar Instability and Dislocation, Dani wasonly able to run competitively for one year, but enjoyed multiple intramural sports, club soccer and the local Shred exercise studio.Dani felt blessed to participate in both Leadership London for a one month program and a semester abroad in Geneva Switzerland where she traveled extensively throughout Europe. Her love of sports was reflected in her internships which included working for the Indiana Pacers and the Indianapolis Colts. Dani graduated with a double major in Marketing and Entrepreneurship and a minor in political science while working for the Admissions Office during her time at Butler.Deciding on a career in professional sports, Dani accept-ed a position with the Utah Jazz in their sales program, a move designed to get her back out west. She found success her first year before transferring to the Community Relations department, a move which allowed her more flexibility to train for the 2020 Paralympic Games.Invited to attend a Nordic adaptive athletic camp in Breckenridge in December, 2019 sponsored by Move United, Dani fell in love with Nordic skiing and began to think about a dual goal of the 2020 Summer Paralympics and 2022 Winter Paralympics. With the support of the local club and other local Nordic Olympians, Dani received the equip-ment and coaching to begin training.And then Covid-19. And the 2020 Summer Paralympics were post-poned until 2021 which meant qual-ifying for two Paralympic Games would be only six months apart.The US Paralympic Nordic team invited Dani to Bozeman to train over the winter with the Crosscut Elite Team where she trained daily for both track and Nordic and succeeded in making her “Double Debut” at both the Summer Paralympics and the Winter Paralympics.Dani Aravich
