Timothy Tiutan - Sun Scholar Award 2008: Art

Timothy Tiutan says his passion for music motivates him to get out of bed every morning. Evidently, that motivation spills onto others throughout each day.

He is an excellent student who's ranked No. 11 in his senior class and is concertmaster of the Kofa Orchestra, wrote Kenna Tanaka, orchestra teacher. "Whenever I have to be away from class, I only have to tell the substitute, 'Tim will be in charge.'"

Tiutan's academic awards include Mr. Kofa 2008, Arizona Wildcat Excellence Award and Arizona Western College Dean's List. Extracurricular activities include volunteering at Yuma Regional Medical Center, being a member and lifeguard at YMCA and performing at weddings.

Though music is his passion, his post-graduation plans are to major in physiology at the University of Arizona and to become a pediatrician.
