Timothy Youth Biography Information
As each teen receives their award during the ceremony, a short biography is read that highlights their accomplishments. In order to be sure that the statements read are somewhat consistent in tone and timing, they will be edited by the Timothy Recognition Committee so that the event runs smoothly. ALL BIOGRAPHIES SHOULD BE WRITTEN BY THE NOMINATING YOUTH MINISTER OR PARISH STAFF MEMBER; NOT BY THE TEEN. However, nominators should use the teen profile information submitted by the teen if necessary to help with writing the biography.
Youth Appreciation Certificate recipients should have a bio that is 5-8 typed lines long in total, and Award of Excellence recipients should have a bio that is 9-12 typed lines. If submitted as a hard copy, each bio should be submitted TYPED, double spaced, in a 12 point Times New Roman font. This format will make it easier for the committee editing the bios to make sure that they are comparable in length. If submitted online or by email, please just be sure that the length is equivalent to 5-8 lines in 12 point Times New Roman - you could type the bio in a word or google doc format first and then cut and paste it into the online form or email. Please see the sample bios below for an example of how long they should be.
Please begin each bio with:
(Insert name) is a (insert year in high school) at (insert high school). Conclude with no more than 5-7 additional lines for the Youth Appreciation Certificate and 9-11 additional lines for the Award of Excellence. Please do NOT include any sporting or academic (GPA or NHS) comments, EXCEPT for leadership positions within these organizations.
Please remember that all bios may be edited.
Sample Bios - because these are on a screen they are not the correct size/font but they are the correct length!
