All her life she has gotten near-perfect grades in all honors classes. Doing nearly twice the work of regular classes and still getting great grades while balancing two school clubs and hobbies is no easy feat. She is involved with the anime club and the gay-straight alliance. She often stays after school to help plan for the various events that clubs attend like safe a trick-or-treat around Halloween or the homecoming parade. When the clubs plan for events like that, Rebecca easily steps up to take charge and make sure everything gets done on time. Rebecca even has her whole adult life planned out. She knows she wants to attend Rowan for college and that she wants to live in Pennsylvania. She is going to be a lower elementary school teacher. With all the compassion that she has it is the perfect job for her. She could do well in a profession that would challenge her intelligence, but to her doing something she is passionate about is more important. Rebecca also devotes a lot of her free time to teaching herself how to play the guitar which is another nod to her intelligence. Learning such a complicated instrument with no help is very difficult, even for Rebecca, but she puts in the time anyway and because of that she is successful.

Rebecca is a great friend for a few reasons. She cares about her friends no matter what. She is always there for anyone who needs a friendly ear and she will never make a conversation boring. Even if it seems like there

    It is a great pleasure to recommend Rachel Sitasz for admission to the Edward Hospital Student Volunteer Program. She is one of the most empathetic, kind, and exceptional humans I have encountered in my 14 years of teaching. I teach Rachel in my 8th grade advanced ELA class. Her academics, character, innate curiosity, intrinsic motivation, ethical standards, and unwavering desire to give back, have put Rachel in a class of her own. In fact, for the first time in over 25+ years, the eighth-grade team created a brand new end-of-the-year award for our graduation awards assembly.…

    She is only a text, email, or phone call away when I need her. I know that she’ll always listen, because she always has. Through my parents’ divorce, through a day where I could have just run away from home and not looked back, and then even through the less serious, sometimes trivial matters, she was there for me. I asked her what her favorite part of being a small group leader is, and she replied, “Connecting with you guys, and just hearing your stories, you know? Being able to help you guys has also been pretty big.…
