Student of the month story

By: Jamie Council

Hana Dole, a freshman, won student of the month by being nominated by the students and Staff at James Bowie high School for her hard work and dedication to helping others around her not just her fellow peers.  “Hana definitely deserved the award because she is always helping out her teachers and other teacher when they need help and she always has straight A’s.” Runner up Veronica Wisor said.

Hana had to do a lot of work in order to win student of the month, for instance community service, Dole worker at a local animal shelter to help some of the animals adopted. “Dole has always been a student that I can always go to for help with a community project because she is always willing to help out anyone that need her help, especially in her own community.” Mr. Cane the principle of Bowie High school said.

There were twenty other people that Hana was up against for Student of the month and all of them could have won. “ We all stood a pretty good chance at winning but it just kind of came to who works the hardest, who has the best grades, and other small little things like that. ” Senior third runner up Lynmarie said.

The administration announced the final winner on the announcements. “When I heard them call my name out I felt every accomplished with myself because I had spent so long working so hard and to know that it paid off felt amazing!” Hana Dole said.

The whole process took about three weeks and all the nominees had a little bit or a lot of stress put on them by themselves because they wanted to win Student of the month. “I had a little bit of stress but not much because I had already planned what I was gonna do, how I was gonna do it, when I was gonna do it, and where I was gonna do it.” Dole said.

The admission gave the nominees an option for their parent to help them with applying and everything, and most people jumped on the opportunity to have some advice from a greater source and other didn’t. “My parents didn’t want to help me because they wanted me to win this award on my own and not with their help.” Wisor said

“The advice I have to give to future people who want to apply for Student of the month is work hard, help out your community, get really good grade, and just enjoy the whole process and don’t stress out about it too much.” Dole said.
