ABC 40 along with the Springfield Republican newspaper sponsor Student of Character. Local high school students are nominated based on civic engagement, strong character, and for overcoming adversity. Students who are chosen are featured on the news station and in the newspaper.
Alicia was nominated by her UB Academic Advisor, Sharon Gralnick, because of her dedication to working with infants and young children. She has volunteered for Toys for Tots, the Salvation Army, and even helped fundraise for Big Brothers Big Sisters. Her goal is to become a nurse and work with babies. She has already started on this path by being a birth partner on two seperate occasions. Alicia has been a great leader in her school and in the Upward Bound community. We are very proud to see her recognized for all the great things she has done. Congratulations Alicia!
