Akeem was nominated by two of this student’s teachers.  He has stepped up in and out of the classroom! When working in groups, Akeem is always patient and helping others making sure they know what they are doing. Akeem love for his family shows his essence to wanting to get a good grade which shows his work ethic! He is a quiet but strong minded student. He strives to do what is right and is very just and fair minded, quietly speaking up and saying when a student has done something wrong and sometimes taking on the consequences of others to keep the peace. His maturity and kindness can be seen in the way he cares for his own family, especially his little sister. Although his facial expressions are priceless, he is polite and always willing to do what is asked of him if a teacher needs assistance.
