Anna Pete ,14, became Student of the Month on September 9, for James Bowie High School. 16

On September 16, 2016, Anna Pete became Student of the Month at James Bowie High School. We asked her how she thinks she became student of the month, Her reply was "Doing out of school activities, good grades, and clubs." She is currently taking all Pre-Ap classes and playing basketball for school, so time is limited for her to hang out with friends. "She had very limited time because she had basketball as well as school work," her friend Emma says, "We do clubs after school together also. So I feel that it is a lot of pressure on her." She thinks that taking all Pre-Ap classes are hard and stressful, and is nervous that she might fall behind in her classes. "It is challenging but fun. It is a lot of work and tests and fast pace, but my teachers help me to learn the skills that I need to know." Anna says. Altho being student of the month sounds fun with all the attention you get, Anna revels the truth about it, "I don't like the attention and sometimes don't listen to what people are saying to me. Also questions get annoying." Even though she doesn't like the attention, she feels that she has a bigger role at school, which can be a little frightening. "I feel that people are looking up to me more than they did."
