I don't know what to say ... Karen S. receives here Student of the Month award at Circle-Up.
Karen S. Named New Student of the Month
By Erika C.
Along with helping students pass their Chemistry Regents, The Family Foundation School Student Karen S. wears many hats around the school and is involved in numerous activities that benefit her peers. On June 2, Karen was named Student of The Month for all of her hard work and devotion to the school.
Karen S. arrived at The Family School on March 20, 2008, an angry, selfish, and resentful person. During her first few months she spent most of her time in the corner for refusing to tell the truth and even ran away to avoid honestly facing herself. After months of living this way she decided to make an experiment with the truth and with relying on a Higher Power.
Her life began to change for the better and today Karen is a happy, spiritual, and loving person. She is very involved in her faith, spends time helping the girls in her family, and is an active member in Student Government and the Recreation Committee. Karen has also been involved in woodcarving, soccer, softball, and basketball.
“It’s an honor and a sign of hope for any newcomer because if I can, they can too,” she said. “This isn’t me,” she said after receiving her award. “This is God.”
Karen has spent the last six months working for the math and science department at FFS and will be graduating at the end of the month. She will be attending Rochester Institute of Technology in the fall and plans on continuing to go to Mass and be of service to people.
“If you’re willing to try something new, eventually grace will come in and take care of the rest,” Karen said.
