Why do you believe the star student athlete should be recognized?

We believe Andrew should be nominated because of his determination to succeed no matter what life throws at him.

He strives every single day to be the best on the field not only for himself but for his team.

He wants to go all the way to the NFL. His dream is to play in college so that he can continue to do what he is passionate about, and that is football.

He is currently a wide receiver and a cover back, plus plays on special teams.

He also runs the 110 m and 300 m hurdles, the 400, and the 4x400 relay.

He is passionate about his family and showing his sister that she can do anything she sets her out to do. They are very close. They are two years apart, born on the same day, not planned!

They act like twins and have a bond that is so strong. We believe Andrew will go so far in this life. We strive every day to be the best versions of ourselves so he can see what a broken home turned good looks like.

He has a stepfather that is tremendously supportive and ensures Andrew and his sister come first. He works tirelessly to make sure they never go without. Andrew sees that and respects it.

We love our Andrew and we hope he will be considered for Star Athlete.

What's one thing you want everyone to know about the star student athlete?

He is an AVID student. He struggles with academics but he refuses to give up!

Keep up the great work, Andrew!
