November Student of the Month: Rose Fernandez

by Diya John

Let me introduce you to the November Student of the Month for Newfield High School, Rose

Fernandez! She has been an active member of our school community and takes part in various clubs. She has been in class council for the Class of 2023 for all four years holding her position as president. She is also an active member of the Yearbook Club. Rose also volunteers for various events held by G.O. such as the annual Blood Drive and taking photos for the Newfield sporting events. Rose’s inspiration transpired from her mother as, “she has taught me to become the woman that I am today and I could never thank her enough. ” Some challenges Rose faced included dealing with a lot of stress and anxiety while trying to figure out time management in which she found that the best way to deal with this is by stepping back and taking a breath. Some advice Rose has for underclassmen is to put yourself out there! Rose says, “everyone has so many skills and talents and if you show people what you are capable of you will be someone’s role model just like how my mom is for me. ” She plans to attend Stony Brook University and major in child education, as she aspires to one day teach little kids and become a role model for them. Once again, Congratulations Rose, “don’t settle for average, be the best you can be. ” as you always say!
