An Aspiring Language Arts Teacher: Somers Star Student
We all know students who excel in academic, fine arts or volunteer service. Here's one resident who is making an impact in Somers.
SOMERS, CT — Star Students are found in classrooms, on concert and theater stages and at debate lecterns, and out in the community doing good things to make life better for all of us. Here at Patch, we've launched an initiative to help recognize Star Students, and we’re working to tell the stories of these outstanding kids to their neighbors.
This submission comes from Cristy of Somers, who nominated her son Jaycen.
Star local student’s name: Jaycen
Star local student’s home state: Connecticut
How do you know the star local student? He is my son
Why do you believe the star local student should be recognized?
Jaycen is the kindest soul. He stands up for what is right every single day. He is the first to help someone in need. His younger sister struggles with math and he has spent countless hours after doing his own homework to tutor her to help her better understand her math assignments. He is so patient and understanding. Jaycen is the kind of friend/person you can count on and doesn’t pass judgement.
What's one thing you want everyone to know about the star local student?
Jaycen aspires to be a middle school language arts teacher.
Congratulations on your achievements, and all of our best wishes to you in the future, Jaycen!
