Student of the Month Story

When: April, 2015
Where: Ted Selvidge High School, Austin, TX
Why: Dedication brings her to victory
How: Grades and extra curricular activities


Ashley Smith takes home a great Ted Selvidge High tradition and becomes April's Student of the Month during an election held in the courtyard.
 
Smith's rode to success was influenced by her parents, but most importantly her homeroom teacher. She can't only thank determination though, Smith also claims to being on Silver Stars and taking two AP classes.

Still striving for success, Smith believes there is always room to improve.

"It has given me the push to work harder" Ashley Smith states of the victory.

But her win was definitely not dull. Smith was presented the award in front of family, friends, and staff.

"I felt a rush of excitement!" Smith boasts.

The road to the award was anything but easy. Ashley places herself in higher level AP classes.

"I take two, English and Geography" Smith says proudly.

Afterward she spent the night celebrating the honor with some family fun.

"I went to Double Dave's Pizza with my family, it was great." The young student says with a smile.

However this excitement might be short lived. Smith has low hopes for adding this to her college transcript.

"It's an honor, but it won't get me ahead in life."

The future seems bright for young student who already has plans of success.

"I want to graduate from college and get a good job."
