5th period during Nick's photojournalism class, the principle of Bowie High School came on the speaker and announced him as Student of the Month. When asked how did you become Student of the Month Nick said "I had good grades and I made sure I was on top of things". When he found out he said "I laughed and jumped up".

Student of the Month is an award that the teachers and administration decide on and give to one student each month that has had the best grades, attendance, attitude, etc. during that month. The teachers and principle make sure that the student of the Month have all of those qualities and stays on top of things much like Nick. When they say who the award goes to the principle announces it on the speaker so that the whole school knows who it is.

The Student of the Month usually has a favorite part, these vary depending on who it is awarded to.

"My favorite part is being recognized by the whole school," student of the month, Nick, says.

Some people think student of the month is a great idea, but others don't like it at all.

"I think it is a good way to motivate students to do good in school," says Nick.

Being student of the month has many advantages but it also has its disadvantages.

“People come to you when they need help, but I also have a lot of expectations,” Nick says.

Being student of the month can be exhausting because you have to keep your grades up and set a good example for other students.

“It takes a lot of effort and studying,” Nick states when asked what being student of the month takes from him.

 Some people take this award seriously and some think it is stupid.

“Being student of the month is an honor, and it looks good for college,” says Nick.
