‘Pressing forward no matter the obstacles’: New City Star Student
We all know students who excel in academic, fine arts or volunteer service. Here's one.

NEW CITY, NY — 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 Carlene, who nominated Siena, a New City resident.

Why do you believe the star local student should be recognized?
Siena has worked hard since grammar school. She challenges herself and keeps pressing forward no matter the obstacles. Her GPA after completing school at Clarkstown North was 99.8.
While at Clarkstown North she pursued one of the most competitive apprenticeship programs in Medicine. She was accepted and achieved high honors. While attending school, she worked at Regal movies in Nanuet, working her way to Junior Management. She now attends Princeton University as a pre-med student.
What's one thing you want everyone to know about the star local student?
She’s most competitive with herself.
Congratulations on your achievements, and all of our best wishes to you in the future, Siena!
