What makes you act with character? I learned how to be kind, caring and to always work hard from my family.

What is your favorite book, TV show or video game? My favorite show is "Sesame Street."

What do you want to be when you grow up? I want to be a teacher.

If you could change one thing about your school, what would it be? I would want my school to go up to 12th grade.

If you could have a superpower, what would it be and how would you use it to change the world? I do have a superpower! I make people feel happy and help them to feel like they belong.

District explains nomination: Tina has figured something out much quicker than most people – that life is so heavily influenced by two things that are totally within our control: our attitude and the effort we put in to everyday life. From the moment she steps off that bus, Tina is a force of nature. Engaging with every passerby, she strives to make connections, to make people laugh and feel part of her group. Her presence can change the tone of a room. A past winner of the Preston Kindness Award, she is the first to offer others congratulations, and the first to offer her support when others are sad or disappointed. With all the changes this last year has presented, Tina has embraced every challenge. She is willing to jump in with both feet, and try new things – except vegetables – without trepidation. Tina’s progress and small victories each day have added up to big results. I admire Tina, and I hope she always remembers how very proud Mrs. Stair is of her.
