Ashburn Star Student Shines On Stage And In The Community

ASHBURN, VA — 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 Nayeema Hoq who nominated Wardah, 10th Grade of Ashburn. Wardah is Nayeema's daughter, and Nayeema is proud of the young woman she's raised.

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

Wardah is an outstanding example of a young lady focused on academics and giving back to her community. She is passionate about debate, acting, singing, and dancing her way to musical shows.

She runs her own 501c non-profit organization named Seneration to bridge intergenerational gaps between youth and elders. She loves volunteering at the local library and animal shelter.
