9th grader, Rebecca Melnick, won the Student of the Month award at Bowie High school at the end of March.

Noticed for her hard work and good grades, teachers and students recommended and voted her for Student of the Month.

In order to get student of the month, one of the things that have to qualify are that you care about grades. "We look for effort out of most things when looking for student of the month," Principal Cane says. Melnick had a lot of effort because of her motivations. "Grades are very important because I want people to think that I'm smarter than I look,"Melnick says.

Although she won student of the month, that doesn't mean she's had struggles. "My struggles were always trying to fit time to study," Melnick said. She problem solved that thanks to her french teacher, Madame Tenne. "She would always make sure that I got the criteria and would always be open and understanding if I needed help."

Motivations to get through school comes from her family. "My motivation to get good grades are my brother and sister. My sister because she was in the top 10% of her class and my bother because he is a hard worker," Melnick says. Not only with family in mind, but her future as well. "The job I mostly see myself doing is something in more in cosmetology and if not there then in the medical field, more of a nurse wife."

"My advice for anyone that wants to get student of the month is if you need help, don't be afraid to get it because it'll help you in the future," Melnick said.
