A Very Busy Teen With an Ambitious Reach: Whiz Kid

Each week, Naperville Patch will seek suggestions from readers for individual kids, youth groups, teens and even sports teams that wow us with their accomplishments.

We want to hear about these amazing children and teens and select one each week as the Patch Whiz Kid. Submit your nomination in our comment box below or e-mail the information to Local Editor Carrie Frillman at carrie@patch.com or Local Editor Mary Ann Lopez at . Be sure to include all of the information that's featured below.

Drum roll please... This week's Whiz Kid is:

○      Whiz Kid's: Sean Thomas Newton

○      Age: 18

○      Whiz Kid's School:

○      Whiz Kid's Accomplishment: Eagle Scout

○      Whiz Kid's Key to Awesomness: Sean didn't let obstacles stand in the way of earning his Eagle Scout rank by his 18th birthday. Despite being in four different troops and moving among three states, this young man still got each and every daunting, demanding and challenging task completed.

He is an amazing person who is going will head to college in August with an ambitious goal of becoming an architectural engineer. While he was working to complete his Eagle Scout project, Sean was on his school's swim team. That commitment required him to practice six days a week, including meets. He also was the Senior Patrol Leader of his Boy Scout troop. Regardless of it all, he still keeps up with his schoolwork and friends. He definitely deserves a bit (no a lot!) of attention for his accomplishments. We wish him well.
