Ahmed Roubi 8th Grade, Pearland Junior High East Annette Moruri 10th Grade, Pearland High School When I received my STAAR scores because I set a goal and met it. During Harvey, I saw how people came together by showing compassion and I hope they keep it going for the days to come. My mom because she pushes me to do better and do more. My former 7th grade math teacher at East, Mrs. Kudrle, because she has a bubbly personality and is always there for her students even after school. I want to be a better friend by helping out more and not letting people down. I will be there for them when they need to talk. I want to improve by asking how they are feeling. Especially with the recent suicides, we don’t know what people are going through and by asking, it will show them that someone does care. I want to spend more time practicing my karate because I would like to get my black belt this year. I want to do more community service because I like helping people and want to do more of it. To eat healthier because I want to be healthy and not sick. My goal is better time management because I have been putting stuff off instead of doing them right away. www.pearlandisd.org | 11
