Nominated for her achievement and hard work in school by Patricia Lindemann, Abigail Corchado was named Student of the Week by Dr. Dora De la Rosa December 7.
“I didn’t know I was nominated,” Corchado said.
Abigail Corchado was in Lindemann’s class when the announcements mentioned her name that morning. All throughout the day her peers called her “Student of the Week” and pointed her out for everyone to see.
“They made fun of me,” Corchado said about her peers.
Lindemann had Corchado last year as a sophomore and said that this year she has been lucky to have her again. She said she nominated Corchado for her overall work and her creativity.
“I think it is a very special recognition for students who are interested in their education, and Abby is one of them,” Lindemann said.
Corchado is part of the Varsity Soccer team at Bel Air, Mock Trial, CIS, and joined yearbook this year.
“I am really dedicated to yearbook,” Corchado said, “but I wish I could have joined other clubs, too, like the Book Club or Student Council.” Interested in Fashion Marketing, Corchado is also part of DECA.
Corchado admitted that she, in her own eyes, did not do something specific to get nominated. “There are other people I see that are more involved than me,” Corchado said.
One of her peers, Elva Aranda, a fellow soccer teammate, described Corchado as a “good player” and “a responsible person.”
“She is very mature and humorous,” Aranda said. “She is so cute.”
Corchado’s soccer coach, Tod Hansen, said Corchado was “hardworking, dedicated, and energetic.”
“She’s a nice young lady,” Hansen said, “She most definitely deserved that honor.”
Hansen made clear her attitude alone got her the nomination. “Everything I’ve seen her do she does accurately and wholeheartedly,” Hansen said.
“Abby is one of those kids that have fun with the projects,” Lindemann said. “She is fun, silly, inquisitive, engaging, driven, and diligent.” “She makes me laugh sometimes,” Lindemann said.
