Setaleki Pohahau

North Ogden Jr High

It is my pleasure to nominate Setaleki for the Language Arts department.  I have been able to associate with him for the last couple of years and have been so impressed with his work ethic, attitude, kindness and desire to do well. He wants to do his best and completes his work on time.  He works hard in class and has maintained good grades all year. I know if Setaleki tells me he will do something, he will do it and do it well. Most days when he arrives in class, he says hello. Some students do that but not many and not on a regular basis.  He is friendly, respectful and participates in class. He is kind when he talks to or responds to people. When he leaves, he says thank you as he walks out the door. He makes a conscious choice to work hard and enjoy his day. I appreciate his willingness to achieve. A popular song reminds us, “…And when you dream, dream big.” Setaleki has big dreams.  Recently, students had to present a career they might want to work toward in the future. He did a great job in his presentation of what he wanted to be. He wants to work hard; he wants to make great academic achievements. He is willing to do what he needs to do to achieve success. I know he can be successful. I look forward to seeing what he will do. With his attitude, the possibilities are endless! -Sincerely, Ms. Campbell (Language Arts)
