PLEASANTON, CA — Star Students are found in classrooms, on concert and theater stages and at debate lecterns, and out in the community doing good things to make life better for all of us.
Here at Patch, we've launched an initiative to help recognize Star Students, and we’re working to tell the stories of these outstanding kids to their neighbors.
This submission comes from Ken Mano who nominated David of Pleasanton, California.

Why do you believe the star local student should be recognized?
David is a senior at Village High. He is part of the student leadership at Village. His parents are two very hard-working people. As a gardener and house cleaner, they worked super hard to take care of their children. David said, “My Parents have sacrificed so much to get me where I am. They are the reason I want to succeed in life.” David is a leader and the school’s representative and has accumulated over 80 hours of community service and works hard with the student leadership at his school. He is very focused on soccer, played on the Amador Valley varsity soccer team, and traveled across the country and even international soccer, receiving the Best Goalkeeper award at the “Futsal World Cup” in Spain.
On the topic of respect, David wrote, “My mom would show me the (show respect to others) side and my dad would (show me how to earn it).” David would love to major in marketing, feeling he has the skills necessary to succeed and have a successful career. He understands how important education is because soccer won’t last forever.
