   There is a new Student of the Month at James Bowie High school, and it's none other than Jackson Mendez. He is only in this position for one month, but he had to work really hard to get to where he is right now. He was motivated by the need to impress him mom so she would believe in him. He works at his family's farm, and he has to milk lots of cow's. He also, has to balance his school work and social life.

    When Jackson Mendez found out that he was elected student of the month he was filled with so many positive emotions.

   "I feel delighted and honored to be student of the month" is what Jackson the freshman said.

    

   Jackson Mendez’s teacher, Mark Zuckerberg, he has to help pick out the student of the month. He expresses his thoughts on Mendez.

    “I never knew his potential, but this year he has really stepped up his grade. I thought he was just a dumb country boy.” Zuckerberg said about Mendez.

During an interview with Mendez he shared how he feels about the whole Student of the Month program.

"It should help the kids to work harder to achieve their goals." Mendez said.

The Principal,Mr. Steve Jobs, addressed why he was ever inspired to create this award to give to the student of James Bowie High school.

“I made this program so that bright students would get a chance to win a trophy like all the athletes at this school. It’s not like any club though, because you earn it all on your own. Without anyone’s help.” Mr. Jobs said.

Jackson Mendez has been involved with sports for some time though, and this adds to his work-load.

"I'm a male cheerleader... I am apart of the harry potter, anime, and gamer clubs" Mendez said, and he further emphasized that he has no free time ever.

His mother, Jessie Mendez had an opinion on her son becoming Student of the Month.

“I never thought my little boy would ever receive a award like this in his whole life, and he really gone n’ done it. He never stops to surprise me.”
