About Vanessa
Meet Vanessa! She is a sophomore at Barstow High School. She is very bright and smart person, who I believe deserves to be the student spotlight. She is one of the kindest people out there! She always helps others with work without complaining. She is always there to help, and is a outgoing, fun, interesting, and all around great human being. She is beautiful, smart, and a great person to hang out with. It may take a little for her to be herself around you, but once she does it’s amazing. She shines through all the darkness and always pushes forward! This is why I chose Vanessa to be the student spotlight of the week!
