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

Amanda has always been a heart-on-her-sleeve kind of person. She loves making others happy. Amanda enjoys working with her peers in PE Partners. Amanda has advocated for including a classmate, who has a benign brain tumor in her hypothalamus. It’s a juvenile pilocytic astrocytoma, to be a part of the girls soccer bench. Amanda has overcome tearing both of her ACLs. She has physically and mentally gotten over the challenge of making it back on the soccer field.

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

Amanda is more than a soccer player. She’s a smart, kind, hard-working student.

Keep up the great work, Amanda!
