Student of the Month

Kassara Hanson is the student of the month because she has integrity; she works hard, and she is powerfully positive. Integrity simply put is doing what you are supposed to do when no one is watching. Kassara lives her life day to day doing the right things, making the intelligent choices, constantly becoming a stronger, smarter, kinder person because she knows that the decisions she makes today will affect her tomorrow. Kassara is a hard worker, but not only does she work hard, she listens and applies what she is learning directly to her assignments. She goes the extra mile daily. She checks her work, she takes assignments home and makes them better, and she brings them back. Kassara, most importantly though, has a powerful positive attitude.  It is easy to be positive when life is easy, but life has not been easy for Kassara, and she still chooses to see the best in life. For Kassara positivity has been a super power. She comes into class smiling, ready to do her best, ready to focus on school, and ready to laugh; when assignments are difficult she powers through them with the belief that she can accomplish any task as long as she works at it. This choice to be positive has made her a strong person. Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort, but where he stands at times of challenge.” Through Kassara’s life challenges she has stood on integrity, climbed with hard work, and soared with positivity.
