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

Jazleen is a team player! Always focused on the game and her team. She started in middle school playing volleyball, now she is in Norwich Tech playing volleyball on their league! She's amazing and very talented! At home, she gets good grades and is a good girl. She helps out with everything and loves her little cousins and siblings! I know she wishes my father (her uncle) could be here seeing her accomplish so many great things, so I'm hoping the world will see it too ! <3

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

She's such a strong little girl!

Keep up the great work, Jazleen!
