 Hi, my name is Zara Awad and I'm PCTI's November student of the month. I'm in the Education and Human Services program and I chose my shop because I always felt like I was good with children and I wanted to see how it would be like working with real children in the field. Being named student of the month makes me feel very proud of myself for all of my hard work because I'm getting recognized for everything I've done throughout my four years in high school. I am a part of SkillsUSA, Row Kappa Honor Society, World Language Honor Society, MSA, Erase, Book Club, and PCTBS Craft for Good. Outside of school I do have a part-time job which allows me to manage my personal and school life. So once I graduate high school I plan on majoring in interior design and possibly minoring in either graphic design, business, or both. So one fun fact about myself is I like to read on my own time and I pursue my photography with my aunt who has helped me compile my portfolio for interior design. So I'd like to thank my parents for working very hard to get me many opportunities and where I am today. I'd also like to thank my siblings, friends, and all my teachers who have endlessly supported me throughout my high school career.
