Student of the Month Story

          On Thursday James Bowie HS had announced their student of the month. The student of the month is an award that James Bowie HS hold for the students that go above and beyond.  Being student of the month is usually a huge accomplishment that very few students will be able to achieve.
           "Winning student of the month was unintentional but is a huge accomplishment for me and my family," winner of the award Ray Gray said. " At first, my goals were to make top 10% of my class and of course to have a fun high school experience, thats when i got the envelope in the mail"
           Being student of the month you have a lot of pressure on your shoulders. The student of the month award is a super rare award that you could only get for being the best student in the school.
           "Time management is the key towards success for winning this award," Ray Gray said
            Only few schools hold this award which is why it is such an accomplishment to get it.  When asked what motivated her Ray Gray said, "Good grades and feeling proud of herself"
            She said that her parents were very proud and believed in her throughout the whole school year. Ray said that she wasn't that surprised when she won the prize because she said that finally all of the work paid off.  When you win this award is when you realize that all of the work paid off.
             "My parents feel really proud and i feel really accomplished about myself," Ray Gray said.
     In order to win this award you have to have a good GPA.  However, this is easier said than done. You had to be top of your class and really studious. " My GPA is a 4.4 and it was well deserved," Ray Gray said.  Being the student of the month doesn't just mean you have good grades. Being student of the month means doing stuff outside of school and extracurricular activities. Ray Gray is no different she said that she does community service and other stuff for her clubs.
               " I do a lot of community services and i'm in a lot of social clubs."
Ray Gray is just one of many more students to win this prize. The more you try your best and accomplish your goals the higher your chances are to win the prize.
