Star Student: Amelia Excels In Creating Art In Westfield

We all know students who excel in academics, fine arts, or volunteer service. Here's one local who is making an impact in Westfield.

(Sandi Ing)

WESTFIELD, 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 Sandi Ing who nominated her daughter Amelia of Westfield.

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

During the pandemic, Amelia found art as a way to ease her anxiety. Both hand drawing and digital, she could be found in her room for hours creating unique art. She now wishes to create a group where other kids who may have anxiety can come together to create beautiful art and find relief from daily stressors.

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

Sometimes the appearance on the outside of a person does not match what’s going on inside of a person.

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