'He Is The Most Giving Young Man': Plainfield Teen Cited Star Student
We all know students who excel in academics, fine arts or volunteer service. Here's one local who is having an impact in Plainfield.
PLAINFIELD, 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 Deborah Beringer who nominated her grandson, Joshua, of Plainfield.

Grandson
Why do you believe the star local student should be recognized?
Joshua has been a high achiever in school and at his place of work. He is currently preparing for a mission trip with his church and is a leader among his peers. Joshua strives to be the best he can be, participating in many years of baseball and the HS golf teams.
He will be attending the University of Iowa for his preparation in mechanical engineering.
He has very close ties with his family including his aunts, uncles, grandparents and cousins. In his spare time, he enjoys playing games with his family, watching sports and mentoring his two younger brothers. As a family, we are all very proud of this fine young humanitarian who enjoys serving others in his community.
What's one thing you want everyone to know about the star local student?
He is the most giving young man I have ever met, volunteering his time at local food pantries with his church youth group.
Congratulations on your achievements, and all of our best wishes to you in the future, Joshua!
