PALATINE, IL — 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 Kamakshi Debnath, who nominated Kuldeep, of Palatine. Debnath is Kuldeep's older brother.

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

It is with great pleasure that I nominate Kuldeep for the Star Student Award. Kuldeep is an exceptional student who has demonstrated an outstanding commitment to teaching Java programming to junior high school students through online classes. In addition, he has been an invaluable peer mentor at school, providing guidance and support to fellow students.

Kuldeep's online Java training classes have been highly successful and have received positive feedback from students and parents alike. Through his classes, he has helped spark a passion for programming in younger students, and has been instrumental in helping them develop their skills and knowledge in this area.

Not only has Kuldeep excelled in teaching others, but he has also been an outstanding mentor to other students at school. He has generously shared his knowledge and skills with others and has provided guidance and support to help fellow students succeed academically.

Kuldeep is a highly motivated and dedicated student who consistently goes above and beyond expectations. He is a true leader and a role model for others, and he embodies the qualities that make him an ideal candidate for the Star Student Award.

I am confident that Kuldeep will continue to make significant contributions in the field of programming and beyond. He has demonstrated a commitment to excellence and a willingness to help others, and I believe he is a deserving candidate for this award.

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