See Why Amanda From Brick Was Shouted Out As A Star Student
We all know students who excel in academics, fine arts or volunteer service. Here's one who's having an impact in Brick.

BRICK, NJ — 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 Adrian McDonald, who nominated her daughter, Amanda, a master's degree graduate from Brick.
Why do you believe the star local student should be recognized?
Amanda has always excelled in school from day one. She managed to graduate from Monmouth University twice within a year, having recently completed her master's degree in social work on May 10, all while working full time, having a full class schedule, as well as putting in required clinical hours for her degree.
What's one thing you want everyone to know about the star local student?
Amanda is very passionate about her chosen field and can't wait to get out there to start helping the community.
Congratulations on your achievements, and all of our best wishes to you in the future, Amanda!
