Caring, Hard-Working Teen Who Persevered: Princeton Star Student

PRINCETON, 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 Federica who nominated Sofia from 11th grade in Princeton.

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

This student volunteers at the local PFARS as a cadet for the past year, reaching 280 hours of volunteering in less than one year. She is a dedicated member of the community who, at 17 years old, cares deeply about helping others while at the same time being a good student at her high school and wanting, with her work, to make a difference

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

She is a caring, hard-working teenager for whom things have not always been easy. And yet, she has always persevered finding always meaning in all she does. Volunteering, and being an EMT cadet, has always put a smile on her face.

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