Fort Bragg Ninth Grader Is Smart & Resilient: Meet Jeyla
"She's made me proud of her resilience and adaptability. Keep shining," says Jeyla's mom.
Fort Bragg, NC — 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 Jae Spence who nominated ninth-grade student Jeyla of Fort Bragg, NC.

How do you know the star local student?
I’m her mother
Why do you believe the star local student should be recognized?
I am proud to say that we moved abruptly last year. This means Jeyla had to leave all of her friends and other familiar things to come here. She has adapted quite well and excels in class. She’s joined JROTC and Gilbert Theater which she holds close to her heart.
She’s made me proud of her resilience and adaptability. Keep shining.
What's one thing you want everyone to know about the star local student?
She’s a strong young lady.
Congratulations on your achievements, and all of our best wishes to you in the future, Jeyla!
