Chantal Jacqout a sophomore won student of the month  during the April 2015.

Her grades were all straight c’s and she told us that the reason she thinks She won is because her teachers and classmates love her and voted for her.

The school named her student of the month, she was really surprised "I’m really excited because my pairs voted for me,” She told us.

Even thought her grades are not the best, this was not her first time winning this award ‘my teachers love my grades, that’s why this is not my first time,’

The fact that her average is a c made many of her friends and her family not believe her when she told them ‘my family did not believe me at all, they thought I paid for it,’.

When we asked her about her hard work Chantal answered us with ‘I did not work at all, it is all about my talent,’.

Her favorite subject is history “All we do is watch videos and power points’. Her favorite teacher is also the history teacher ‘he doesn’t mind if we use our phones during class’.

We also talked about her future ‘I picture myself living in a huge house with a lot of money’.
