The
COMMUNITY COUNCIL
FOR CHARACTER SALUTE
Student
of PERSEVERANCE
Jessica Beebe
Southern
Elementary School
I
would like to nominate Jessica for perseverance. Jessica has
experienced an extremely difficult school year. She has watched the
father she loved dearly suffer and loose his battle with cancer. She
has watched her mother struggle to hold things together during his illness
and memorial. Jessica has been strong and brave and persevered in an
adult manner. She has kept up with her studies and put on a happy
face even when it was sometimes very difficult. She has shared
in class discussions when it was all she could do to keep from becoming
emotional. Her bravery and ability to overcome these obstacles makes
her the perfect candidate for perseverance.
Adult of
PERSEVERANCE
Tammie Wesley
Southern
Middle
School
Mrs.
Tammie Wesley demonstrates perseverance through her hard work and
dedication to her job and to her school. In October of 2006, Mrs.
Wesley was diagnosed with breast cancer. She began taking treatments soon
afterwards. Throughout this time, Mrs. Wesley continued to come to
work as much as she possibly could. She showed perseverance through
this dedication to her school even though she didn’t feel well.
These treatments continued until November of 2007. Mrs. Wesley is
now doing fine and continues to serve her school.
Mrs.
Wesley’s attitude demonstrates perseverance because she didn’t
complain and always kept a positive attitude. She continued to work as
much as she could throughout her treatments. She not only performed
her job as attendance secretary, but also contributed to dealing with any
other office issues that needed to be done.
Mrs.
Wesley affects those around her because she continued to work and kept a
positive attitude with all of those numerous colleagues, parents, and
students with whom she came into contact. She is a role model for all of
those around her to have perseverance to continue living despite her
health problems.
