Chaperone Adam Martin from EnergyUnited proclaimed Christian “the life of the party,” while Linda Mathiasen from Jones-Onslow EMC said, “He was the shy, quiet one, hiding behind two other students during the ice breaker activity. Once given the microphone, he transformed into another person.” He even earned the nickname “Hollywood.”

Christian said his most memorable experience during the trip was touring the Holocaust Memorial Museum.

A budding musician and songwriter, Christian is the son of Morris Bowser of Plymouth. He is a sophomore at Washington County Early College High School.
