Why do you believe the star student athlete should be recognized?

"Our smart, gorgeous, talented, athletic, selfless human deserves the world," Joseph said. "Faith is a beautiful soul that not only excels at home & in school but she especially excels on the softball field. She is resilient and positive. Her heart of gold shines for others, always the first to lend a hand and would give the shirt off of her back to someone in need. She is a role model citizen to her siblings and peers.
