2022 – Sascha Bake & Emily Tuncertan

Meet our WTC members award scholarship winner, Sascha!
“Hello, my name is Sascha Batke, and I am a grade 12 student at Kingsville District High School. I am beyond thrilled to have been awarded this scholarship, as it will help immensely in helping me to pursue my dream to become a French teacher. When I graduate in June, I plan to attend the University of Windsor in the Concurrent Education program, with French as a second language. I will be enrolled in the Intermediate/Senior program, which allows me to teach grades 7-12, and I plan to major in French with a minor in math. I have many passions in life, from sports to music. I was exposed to the world of athletics at a very early age, and over the years have played many sports: basketball, volleyball, badminton, track and field, and softball. I was member of each of these teams at my high school, as well as a member of the Windsor Valiants Travel Basketball team, and a member of my community house league girls’ softball during the summer. Other than sports, I enjoy being the chairperson of the Cavs Care Charity group at KDHS. The Cavs Care Charity group is an organization created by students and teachers at my school that raises money to provide clean water for Indigenous communities in Canada; this is an issue I am very passionate about. In addition to being involved in the Cavs Care group, I am involved in many different aspects of my high school: Minister of Publicity on Student Council, member of GECDSB Student Senate, played the bass clarinet in the KDHS Instrumental Band, and sports teams, all while maintaining a 97% average.
To earn money towards my post-secondary education, I work part-time at Ives Insurance Broker Ltd., and in the summer, teach swimming lessons right in my backyard. I have worked as a technical service representative at Ives Insurance (since 2020) alongside my father, James Batke, who is the CFO at Ives since 2004, the year I was born. I am also self-employed, as I teach young kids swimming lessons from June to September. This job has played a very important role in helping me develop skills I will need for my future career in teaching, such as lesson planning, class management, instructional strategies, etc. Thank you to the Windsor Transportation Club for providing a scholarship to help students pursue their dream careers, I am truly grateful!”

Meet our WTC members award scholarship winner, Emily!
Hi, my name is Emily Aylin Tuncertan, this year, I will be graduating from The Oakville Trafalgar High School with a French Immersion diploma. During my high school years, I have completed a co-op program at a Physiotherapy clinic. I also worked part-time as a caregiver to an 18 month old baby. Now, I am on the cusp of embarking on a new chapter in my life. I have always had a great passion for all sports but my love for gymnastics was immeasurable. After over seven years of dedication to the sport, at age 13, things suddenly changed during the practice when I suffered severe whiplash and concussion. The accident left me struggling to recover for years and spending countless hours at physiotherapy clinics and interacting with health care specialists. In hindsight, this accident shaped my future, uncovering my passion for the study of kinesiology and the practice of physiotherapy. My rehabilitation experience was incredibly motivational for me. Going through recovery left me feeling profoundly grateful towards the therapists, inspiring me to give back to patients the type of attention, care, and skill that I had received. As a result, I began planning my future with this goal at the forefront. I currently devote my spare time educating myself on the human body through literature, podcasts, and videos on human anatomy and physiology. I truly am deeply grateful for the generous funds granted to me by the Windsor Transportation Club
