Alana Johnson leaped into action when a crowd gathered around a
young lady who was having a seizure. Alana did not hesitate to assist
by creating space and calming the crowd down. She then created a
safe space moving the classroom furniture accordingly. Alana also
assisted administration with the student and explained to the
Paramedic and School Resource Officer exactly what she had
witnessed and gave them the information they needed to assess the
situation properly. At school, Alana successfully created a business
and pop-up shop selling homemade products such as lip gloss, Chap
Stick, hand sanitizer, and lip scrubs among other cosmetic products.
She is also involved in extra-curricular activities like Bowling,
Volleyball, and Flag Football while maintaining exceptional grades
and conduct in the classroom. Alana is a well-rounded student with a
bright future ahead.
