At 18, Michael Is Saving Lives: Bridgewater Star Student
We all know students who excel in academic, fine arts or volunteer service. Here's one local who is having an impact in Bridgewater.

BRIDGEWATER, 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 Jill Brown who nominated Michael of Bridgewater. Brown is Michael's neighbor.

Why do you believe the star local student should be recognized?
Michael is giving back to our community. This dedicated young man joined the Bradley Garden Rescue Squad as a cadette and volunteered for 1 1/2 years. He then had more training and tested and obtained certification for EMT. He has been volunteering as an EMT for about 6 months. He is also President of HOSA (Health Occupations Students of America) at VoTech. He truly is a person who cares about his community! We are so impressed with this 18 year old!

Congratulations on your achievements, and all of our best wishes to you in the future, Michael!
