The Rotary Club of Flushing recognized Billy Waire this morning as the Student of the Month for September.
Flushing High School senior Billy Waire is wrapping up his final year with an impressive 3.44 GPA and hopes to graduate this spring with honors.
Billy is the son of Bill Waire Jr. and Stephanie Bradshaw and has two siblings.
When he’s not focused on academics, Billy enjoys figure painting, reading, learning, hiking, music, and spending time with friends. He is heavily involved in school activities, participating in Rotary Interact, Investment & Financial Literacy, Mock Trial & Debate, Club Unity, Flushing Youth Alive-Christian Club, Blueberry Ambassadors, Pay It Forward, International Club, and Key Club. He also hopes to launch a Quiz Bowl team before graduation.
Billy is passionate about giving back to the community, volunteering for a variety of events and organizations, including SMORES, Candlewalk, the Crim Rotary Mile, Senior Center’s Valentine Lunch-in, Adopt-A-Highway, the Food Bank of Eastern Michigan, FHS Theater set builds, and the Go Gold for the Kids 5K, among others.
Outside of school, Billy works at Creative Water Works as an irrigation technician, where he builds custom water features, like waterfalls, and keeps sprinklers running smoothly.
He also enjoys skeet shooting as his sport of choice.
Looking ahead, Billy plans to attend Madonna University to pursue a bachelor’s degree in forensic science. His bucket list includes traveling to Switzerland, buying a home with a dedicated office, becoming fluent in another language, taking a road trip on Route 66, traveling more, getting a DNA test, and continually striving to be the smartest version of himself.
When asked about his favorite memory at FHS, Billy smiled and said, “My first (and last) detention.”
Billy credits much of his academic inspiration to his favorite teacher, Mrs. Amy Kleinedler, explaining:
“Mrs. Kleinedler is easily my favorite teacher. She’s always there for me and the rest of her students, whether it’s before, during, or after class. She talks to us like we’re equals, she actually listens and respects our opinions. Even when I wasn't having the best day I always looked forward to her class. Chemistry was never boring in her class. She is someone I look up to and strive to be like in the future. Because of her, I fell in love with chemistry and think that it may be something I want to do in the future—such as forensic chemistry.”
