My Eulogy

Zachary Stuart was a hard-working, responsible young man who loved to play golf and spend time with his friends and family. He liked to give back to others, whether this meant tutoring a fellow student or lending money to someone in need. Volunteering was a large part of how Zach gave back to the community. As a member of NHS, he volunteered at events around Chicago and places such as the Greater Food Depository of Chicago. Also, as a member of the First Tee of Greater Chicago, he helped young people learn the game of golf and all that it has to offer. Besides being a full time high school student, Zachary was also a member of the Whitney Young golf team. Since the age of six, he played the game and developed his golfing skills. Golf had a great impact on Zach's personality because it taught him honesty, respect, and perseverance, and he always tried to apply values such as these on and off the golf course. As a student, Zach always gave his best effort to maintain a good grade point average and understand what his teachers taught him. He strongly believed that the work he put in as a young man would greatly benefit him later on, which is why challenged himself and worked hard throughout his educational career. He had plans to study mechanical engineering at Stanford University, and then go on to get a MBA from the Wharton School of Business. After finishing his education, Zachary planned to start his own engineering firm and work with cutting-edge technology.
