Student spotlight: Madeline R. and Victoria C.

Two young ladies of the sophomore class stand out because they continually strive to do their best in school, as well as participating in extracurricular activities such as: clubs, sports, and community service projects. Their names are Victoria C. and Madeline R. Resulting from their hard work in school, the girls are currently in the top four rankings of the sophomore class. Not only are the two very good friends, but they also share the same values about school and serving the community.

To name some of their recent achievements, Victoria and Madeline were awarded first place in the Social Studies County Level Fair for “How the Olympics Affects Other Countries.” They are also members of the math team who were county champions this year. Additionally, both girls are the co-chairpersons for the Georgia State Beta Club Convention the girls will be co-chairpersons, representing Creekview among the other schools.

As an individual, Victoria C. is very intelligent and talented. Her favorite subjects are math and science and hopes to pursue a career in meteorology, chemistry, or biomechanics. Duke University in North Carolina is Victoria’s school of interest. She looks up to Anne Sullivan as a role model because she helped Helen Keller through her struggles and never gave up on anything she tried. Although she has a role model, Victoria leaves it up to herself to take opportunities to better herself. At school, she is in the Habitat Club, Beta Club and all state chorus. Her volunteer activities include passing out fruit baskets at church and helping with the Miracle League baseball team for disabled children. Victoria has played Creekview softball for two years on JV and also plays recreational basketball.

Likewise, Madeline is a hard working and dedicated student. She enjoys every subject at school because she likes learning and studying. Her older brother, Alex R., is her role model because he sets good examples by already having a career plan and does well in school. In the future, she would like to attend Duke University and study Marine Biology. For the community, Madeline volunteers at the Mother’s Cupboard, an organization that boxes different foods that are handed out to the public or those in need. She has also helped build a house for habitat for Humanity and worked at Community Supply Agriculture, a local organic farm. This extraordinary girl also runs on Creekview’s Cross Country team, which is second in the region. As part of the girl’s Cross Country team, they won their county meet and went to state. Madeline’s personal record was twenty minutes and twenty four seconds, which entitled her to the Georgia Elite title in Cross Country.

Victoria C. and Madeline R. are setting great examples for their fellow students by showing them that by working hard, you can accomplish your goals. These young ladies have a bright future ahead of them and will do great things.
