‘Driven To Do Her Absolute Best’: Hartford Star Student

HARTFORD, CT — Star Students are found in classrooms, on concert and theater stages and at debate lecterns, and out in the community doing good things to make life better for all of us.

Here at Patch, we've launched an initiative to help recognize Star Students, and we’re working to tell the stories of these outstanding kids to their neighbors.

This submission comes from Aidan Patrick Morgan who nominated Fatima of Hartford. Morgan is Fatima's teacher.

How do you know the star local student?

I am her teacher

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

Fatima has just arrived to Hartford and the U.S. from Afghanistan. Since the first day I met her she has never wasted a single moment in trying to learn the English language. Fatima splits her Chrome book screen. One one side is Urdu and the other English. She does this so she can master the assignment and the English.
Her answers are really strong and it is a testament to her how hard she tries and how driven she is to do her absolute best.

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

Her determination

Congratulations on your achievements, and all of our best wishes to you in the future, Fatima.
