Besides being a Link Leader, amateur bodybuilder, and wrestler, Cade Mawson (21) prioritizes his relationship with his peers. Mawson said, “It is very important to me to be a good role model. I do this by being a true friend to everyone and checking in on those around me when they get out of line”.

He has learned the power of supportive friendships by achieving his goals. “The friendships I’ve made in high school are ones I’d like to keep for the rest of my life. They’ve helped me become the person I am today,” said Mawson. Mawson plans to attend Colorado State University in the fall to study physical therapy.

“When I graduate, I hope to leave a positive legacy. I believe Eaton is a family. I want the culture of loving your peers for who they are to continue,” said Mawson.
