Why do you believe the star local student should be recognized?
She is so kind and sweet to everyone she meets. All she wants to do is make this world a better place for everyone. She is the most hardworking person I know.
As her school counselor wrote about her in her recommendation letter, she strives for excellence in all aspects of her life, she is a Varsity runner at GOHS with straight A’s and a current GPA of 4.5217.
She runs about 50 to 60 miles a week and still makes time to study hard and get straight A’s. She is respectful to her community, teachers, and fellow peers. She is kind, loving, hardworking, & loyal. Her dream is to study Aerospace Engineering and go to space someday. We are so proud that she has committed to running cross country and track and field at MIT and majoring in Aerospace Engineering.
