Raquel Rodriguez
Seventh Grade, Shenandoah Middle
Raquel showed incredible kindness & respect to a friend who became extremely ill during class. While in class, she noticed her friend was incredibly weak, had become pale, & felt very nauseous. Raquel quickly sprang into action and notified her teacher and assisted in taking her friend to the main office. She then went back to make sure to grab all of her friend’s belongings. The level of care that Raquel showed was astounding. She waited for help to arrive in the office with her friend, holding her up as she was too weak to stay up on her own. Throughout the ordeal, Raquel was attentive and stayed with her friend until assistance arrived. Raquel demonstrated care and compassion and proved to be the definition of a true friend.
