Student of the Month Story

Every month Bowie high school gives away the Student of the Month award. This month, 10th grader Jack Johnson had the honor of accepting this award.

"I was so happy when I found out that I won," Johnson said. "I nearly cried."

Johnson did 15 extra hours of tutoring to get the grades needed for the award

       
"I think my mom influenced me the most by helping me with homework and enrolling me in K-12 online tutoring school," Johnson said.

Johnson recently made the Varsity soccer team and is president of NHS.

"Jack was working really hard, going to tutoring, doing extracurricular activities, and playing soccer. I was not surprised when we found out that he won Student of the Month," said Jack Johnson's friend, sophomore Anthony Brown. 

Johnson also took part in many of the clubs offered at Bowie.

"I think the reason that I won this award was because I got all A's last 6 weeks and I am also in a bunch of extracurricular activities like chess club, fencing club, ping pong club, physics club, math club, and dungeons and dragons club." Johnson said.

 Johnson felt accomplished to win this award because it had been a big goal for him for many months. 

"I almost got student of the month last month, but I got an 85 on a math test which made my grade drop," Johnson said. "I got so mad, I threw my minecraft foam sword out the window."

Johnson came back from having an 83 in English in the middle of the semester to finishing with a 94.

 "I think some qualities that I have that helped me earn this title are that I never give up, and I love to get involved," Johnson said.

Johnson's highest grade of the 6 weeks was chemistry.

"I think my favorite subject is science, because I am in chemistry right now and I think it is really interesting. Physics club is really fun as well because we all get to sit around and talk about physics, and at the end of the course, we have a big banquet and we all get dressed up," Johnson said.
