"I feel that if I think of school as being fun that it helps me learn much better and I don't get bored in class," Tello said.

Tello also has other people that have contributed to this, like her english teacher, Mr. Peevey. Mr Peevey is the teacher who had nominated her for this position.

"I nominated Sofia because she is very hardworking, she always comes to me when she needs extra help or when she doesn't understand things, she also helps out other people when needed,” Peevey said.
