The Connection
In a pitch-perfect address to the 530 seniorsgraduating from West Springfield High Schoolon Tuesday, June 21, Honor Graduate JoshuaHamilton told his classmates what some pun-
dits really think of the Classof 2011.
“They claim we are themost lazy and naïve genera-tion of Americans,” with a“false sense of entitlement …sheltered from the cold reali-ties of life.”
He paused to let that assess-ment of Generation Y, alsoknown as the Millennials, sinkin.
“I hate to admit it, but theybring up some good points. Askids, everyone was special. Everyone got a trophy atLittle League regardless of how good they were. Theythink because we’ve been brought up in digital age,we can simply Google our way through life’s prob-lems,” he said. He acknowledged the problems andchallenges Generation Y faces, including political andeconomic instability, are daunting. But the Princeton-bound senior ended his bracing speech with forcefulchallenge.
“We are just as capable as those before us to facethese challenges. … We all have the potential to dogreat things. … And nobody, nobody has the cloutto tell us otherwise,” he said, as the audience eruptedinto cheers and applause.
It was an emotional speech during a spirited two-
hour ceremony filled with poignant and movingmoments, as well as humor.
At the beginning of WSHS’ 44th commencementceremony, the school’s Madrigals sang “In My Life,”by The Beatles.
“I don’t know how anyone cannot cry hearing thatsong,” said student Abby Perlin after the performance.
Assistant Principal Richard Griffin asked studentsto salute their parents, “turn and wave and say thankyou.”
Fairfax County Supervisor Pat Herrity (R-Spring-field), a WSHS alumnus, was invited to give the key-note address.
“West Springfield is a placethat matters,” he said. “Whilesome part of the school areold and falling apart, it is thespirit of West Springfield …the indomitable drive thatovercomes the sagging floorsby the senior staircase. It isyou that makes West Spring-field, not the building.”
He reminisced about histime as a student, when WestSpringfield was at the “edgeof civilization.”
“In a matter of minutes, your time here at WestSpringfield will be over. You will join the thousandsof men and women who are proud to say they gradu-ated from West Springfield, and you will cement yourplace as a Spartan,” Herrity said.
He asked the soon-to-be graduates to be bold.“Shoot for the moon,” he said. “If you miss, thereare a hundred starts out there to hit.”
Principal Paul Wardinski incorporated statistics intohis speech to “demonstrate what a wonderful schoolin all aspects WSHS truly is.”
“As a class you averaged just over a 3.21 gradepoint average GPA … with 71 being Honor Grads,
“It is our choices Harry,that show what we trulyare, far more than ourabilities.”
— Professor Albus Dumbledore,quoted by WSHS Principal Paul
Wardinski

Cavaliers Looking Forward, Moving OnW.T. Woodson High School seniors take partin 2011 commencement.
“Woodson change,change like your lifedepends on it.”
— Mac Tunick, Woodsonvaledictorian speaker
By Deanna Perry
The Connection
Growth, innovation and new beginnings were the themes of W.T.Woodson High School’s graduation
on Thursday, June 16, in the Robinson Sec-ondary gym. The class took time to lookback at the start of their high school career,when the school had no ceiling, and theprogress they’ve made since then.
“I knew the second the bell rang fresh-man year that there was something differ-ent about the class of 2011,” said valedic-torian speaker Mac Tunick. “We just had this… this… swagger, and through these fouryears, we have embodied swag.”
The class of 2011 felt how special theywere with 77 honor graduates, who aregraduating with a 4.0 or higher GPA. Otherhonors bestowed upon some graduates in-cluded scholarship money. The ChristopherMarshall Award went to Amy Dreissen; theTyler Bently Award went to Deborah Lim;and the Julia Campbell Memorial Awardwent to Melanie Barlow and Dante Verme.
Also, the Service award was presented toMarlee Stynchula and Jacob Luftglass; theLeadership award went to Melanie Barlowand Kaitlin Brooks; the Faculty award wentto Paul Fridley and Connor Halloran; andthe Woodson School award went to Chris-tine Schindler. Also, the PTSO Teacher ofthe Year award was presented to Steven
Lundy.Despite how great Tunick thought the
class of 2011 was, he insisted that theynever stop changing.
“Woodson change, change like your lifedepends on it,” Tunicksaid. “We have decadesahead of us, try newthings, explore. Dowhat you want to do.Aim high Woodson.Trying and failing isn’tnearly as bad as failingto try.”
The guest speaker,Aneesh Chopra, theUnited States Chief Officer of Technologyin the White House, had similar things tosay. His focus wasn’t just on change, but theneed for the graduates to create things tomake a better future.
“Astronaut Catherine Coleman, aWoodson graduate, helped contribute to hergeneration’s mission on the space frontier,”Chopra said. “And so will be the story ofyour class, your generation. Only the mis-
sion that inspires youmay not be as clear.Will you be the genera-tion that makes solarpower as cheap as fos-sil fuels? And build thefirst buildings that areable to produce all theenergy that they con-sume?”
Chopra went on todiscuss things members of their generationhad already accomplished. This includedthe creation of Sleepbot and students con

Opinion
Fairfax County has more than 44,000students enrolled who are poorenough to qualify for subsidizedmeals.
During the school year, 141 elementaryschools, 26 middle schools, 30 high schools andsecondary schools and a few special centersserve breakfast and lunch to needy studentseither for free or at very low cost. That’s nearly200 places where students go every day thatcan help provide for their nutritional needs.
In the summer, Fairfax County op-erates just 14 centers to providemeals to poor students. There is noplan to get students from where theylive to the available meals, and a recent reportestimates that in Virginia overall, less than 20percent of students who qualify receive mealsin the summer. Obviously 14 locations in all ofFairfax County cannot possibly provide geo-graphically accessible meals to 44,000 stu-dents.
Fairfax County Public Schools eliminatedsummer school several years ago as a budgetcutting measure, and this complicates provid-ing summer nutrition to needy students. FairfaxCounty also eliminated year-round schools thatspecifically served needier student populations.
It’s also eye opening to note that more than20 percent of students in Fairfax County arepoor enough qualify for subsidized meals.
In Arlington, more than 6,500 students, or32 percent of the student body qualify for sub-sidized meals.
In Alexandria, the more than 6,200 studentswho are poor enough to receive subsidizedmeals make up more than 50 percent of thestudent population.
Arlington operates 19 centers to serve mealsto students over the summer, dramati-cally more per eligible student thanFairfax.
Earlier this month, Jeff Bridges, Acad-emy Award Winner and No Kid Hungry Na-tional Campaign Spokesperson, Gov. BobMcDonnell (R-VA) and U.S. Department ofAgriculture (USDA) Secretary Tom Vilsackalong with organizers of Share Our Strength,the Federation of Virginia Food Banks and oth-ers launched the Virginia No Kid Hungry Cam-paign at Barcroft Elementary School in Arling-ton. Their modest goals for this year includeincreasing the number of eligible students whoreceive the meals they are entitled to. Seehttp://nokidhungry.org/virginia.html.

Editorial
By Garrett Herndon
It seems that a new monument toNorthern Virginia’s ballooning popu-lation and sprawl is on the horizon.
Despite the incessant congestion plagu-ing the east to west roadways of the re-gion for decades, Gov. Bob McDonnell (R)is directing the attention of the Virginiapublic and the state government else-where, choosing instead to focus on a pro-posal for a new north to south route span-ning Prince William and Loudoun coun-ties. The proposed thoroughfare catersprimarily to traffic moving to and fromDulles Airport, and would connectInterstates 66, 95 and 495 and other lo-cal roads, with a direct route to more ru-ral areas south and west of Fairfax County.
On May 18, the Commonwealth Trans-portation Board (CTB) of Virginia passeda resolution declaring a slew of roadsthroughout western Northern Virginia“Corridors of Statewide Significance”(CoSS), a designation that eases funding
for the project while removing the involvedlocal governments from the process. The state,with the new CoSS classification of theseroutes, can now act at its own discretion, by-passing public participation. The approval ofthis resolution by the CTB is a major blow toLoudoun officials and residents who have con-sistently vocalized their opposition to such aproject.
On April 19, the Loudoun County Board ofSupervisors voted 6-1-2 to oppose such a des-ignation by the CTB. Although the vote wasmerely symbolic, the elected officials ofLoudoun have made it clear that they and their
constituents are againstany major north to southroadway projects withintheir borders. The “OuterBeltway” concept is noth-
ing new to the region, as similar plans weredefeated by Loudoun supervisors in 2001 and2004.
With the creation of this new roadway, pre-viously untapped areas of western NorthernVirginia would become easily accessible toDulles International Airport and Washington,D.C., inevitably jumpstarting a new develop-ment boom far away from sustainable publictransit, and the worksites of most county resi-dents. Additionally, the roadway will come dan-gerously near the Manassas National Battle-field, the plan even going as far as to cut right
across a major part of the historic park.As a resident of Fairfax for the past 10
years, I have seen this area change drasti-cally. The woods next to my elementaryschool used to be home to a creek wewould play in summer months. Now it isthe home of 12 single family homes, ar-ranged in identical plots, squished togetherso tightly that you can touch both houseswith your arms spread. It is impossible todiscount the necessity of these open spacesmany legislators and politicians haveseemed to take for granted, spaces that willinevitably evaporate as developers andbusinesses encroach.
Gov. McDonnell has made it altogetherclear throughout his campaign and presentterm in office that he is a friend of realtorsand developers in Virginia. During his2009 campaign, McDonnell was backed bythe Virginia Association of Realtors, thestate’s largest trade organization and amajor proponent of development in North-ern Virginia. Campaign contributions toMcDonnell from the real estate and devel-opment sector totaled well over $2 mil-lion. It seems now readily apparent thatby placing the “Outer Beltway” at the fore-front of his agenda, McDonnell is lookingout for his own best interests.

Supervisor John Cook (R-Braddock) with children Stephen and Amanda at Saturday’sBraddock District BBQ fund raiser.
Pulled Pork Politics?
“This is just a day tobring people together,have some fun andcelebrate our record ofgetting things done.”
— Supervisor John Cook(R-Braddock)
More than 100 supporters joined FairfaxCounty Supervisor John C. Cook (R-Braddock) for his second annual BigBraddock BBQ
at Lake Accotink Park on Sat-urday, June 17.
Supervisor Pat Herrity (R-Springfield); School Boardmember Tessie Wilson(Braddock) and Republicancandidates for this fall’s elec-tion also attended the fundraiser and social gathering.BBQ World in Burke providedthe chicken and pork, and aquintet of retired U.S. AirForce band members providedthe music.
“This is just a day to bring people together, havesome fun, and celebrate our record of getting thingsdone,” Cook said. “It’s designed to be a family-friendly neighborhood type picnic. It’s a way to saythank you to our volunteers and supporters.”
Cook is running unopposed in his bid to maintainhis seat on the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors.
Cook’s Big Braddock BBQdraws crowd for campaignfun.
Currently, two Democratic opponents — Chris Wade,a local businessman and Janet Oleszek, a formerSchool Board member — are vying in the Aug. 23Democratic primary for the chance to challenge Cookin the Nov. 8 general election.
On June 13, Cook officially filed with the FairfaxCounty Republican Committee (FCRC) and the Boardof Elections with more than 1,000 petition signatures,five times the number of required petition signatures.
“This is the most signatures filed by any GOP can-didate in the county. It’s a signof strength for his campaignand confidence in his candi-dacy,” said FCRC chairman An-thony Bedell.
Cook said his Community En-gagement Initiatives, includingthe recent Coffee Connectionsfor those with severe disabili-ties, have trained more than150 community leaders.
“We need to open up govern-ment and get more people in-volved. That’s really how com-munities move forward,” Cook
said.“John Cook is the real deal for the taxpayer. He is
exactly the kind of steward that we need in publicservice. He gets things done,” said former U.S. Rep.Tom Davis (R) in his statement endorsing Cook.

Zion Drive Closes June 22For Road Construction
The Fairfax County Department of Transportation(FCDOT) is starting construction to realign ZionDrive from Windsor Hills Drive to Grovewood Waythis summer.
Beginning Wednesday, June 22, a section of ZionDrive between Windsor Hills Drive to Jib Lane willbe closed to through traffic for approximately threemonths.
The project, funded through the FairfaxCounty 2007 Transportation Bond, includesthe installation of a dedicated pedestrianwalkway, curb, gutter and storm drainageimprovements. According to FCDOT officials, thework will eliminate the dangerous curve in the roadthat has been the cause of many accidents.
“This is a long-awaited road improvement centeredon vehicle safety. Zion Road has been a sore spot inthe community because of that curve,” said Supervi-sor John Cook (R-Braddock). “I hope that a speedyrepair can be made that will enhance travel and makeit safer. I will be staying on top of it.”
Estimated completion date is about 12 months fromthe start of construction; however, traffic lanes areexpected to be re-opened to through traffic by Sept.2.
The project cost of approximately $1.4 million isfunded from a 2007 Transportation Bond. TheFCDOT and the Department of Public Works andEnvironmental Services are jointly managing theproject.
During construction, through traffic will be de-toured; however, access will be provided to the resi-
dents and the residential communitiesalong Zion Drive, The Greater Little ZionBaptist Church and the David R. Pinn Com-munity Center. Westbound through-trafficfrom Guinea Road will be detoured to Rob-
erts Road, and eastbound through traffic, comingfrom Ox Road, will be detoured to Roberts Road andGuinea Road.

The Connection
The high school spring sports sea-son is now completed with theemotionally-charged postseasontournaments having been com-
pleted over the past couple of weeks. Butwhat a time the past month-plus has beenas some of the local teams, competing intheir respective district, region and perhapseven state playoffs, gave their fans thrillsin their quest to win championships as theschool year was about to end.
South County baseball enjoyed a springseason that will be difficult to ever top.Under head coach Mark Luther, the Stal-lions went undefeated during the regularseason, then continued their winning waysduring the postseason by capturing both thePatriot District and Northern Regioncrowns, both title game victories comingover talented Lake Braddock. They thenwent on to win their first two games at thestate AAA playoffs, including a dramatic 12-11 quarterfinals home win over NansemondRiver (Suffolk), to reach the state champi-onship game. There, in a game played atWestfield High, South County lost to peren-nial state power Great Bridge High of Chesa-peake, 5-3. The Stallions finished with awondrous 28-1 overall record.
Senior catcher Mike Perez, who blastedthree home runs and a game-winning, walk-off double in the win over Nansemond River,was the heart and soul of the Stallions,while pitchers Evan Beal and Tyler Frazierwere spectacular on the mound.
The Hayfield girls’ softball team, underveteran head coach Ron Giovannucci, domi-nated play within the National District dur-ing the regular season. Their first districtsetback came in the district tournamentsemifinals to longtime rival Mount Vernon,who edged the Hawks 2-1.
The loss to the Majors was just the sec-ond of the season for Hayfield, who’s onlyregular season setback had come to even-tual Northern Region champion Westfield,6-0, in their fourth game of the season. Fol-lowing the disappointing district playoff lossto Mount Vernon, Hayfield defeatedRobinson, annually one of the top teams inthe region, by a 5-1 score in a first roundgame of the 16-team regionals. That putHayfield into the quarterfinals over Memo-rial Day weekend where the Hawks lost todefending state champion McLean.
Overall, Hayfield finished with an out-standing 20-3-1 season (The tie cameagainst Oakton during a spring breakgame). Not surprisingly, Hayfield receiveda strong share of postseason honors, high-

lighted by senior team MVP Sam Perry-Shifflett (catcher) being named NationalDistrict Player of the Year as well as earn-ing First Team All-Region honors. Also forthe Hawks, junior pitcher Amber Fowler washonored as the District Pitcher of the Year.Other players to earn postseason honors in-cluded: sophomore first baseman/pitcherTaylor Neuhart (Coach’s Award, All-Districtand All-Region Tournament teams); sopho-more outfielder Katelyn Thorne (First TeamAll-District); sophomore second basemanTaryn McElhenny (Hayfield Most ImprovedAward, Second Team All-District); senioroutfielder Angela Sudik (Don Stah Award,Second Team All-District); and senior out-fielder Jessie Reynolds and freshman thirdbaseman Brittany Creamer, both SecondTeam All-District.
IN BOYS’ SOCCER, Lake Braddock be-gan the season back in mid-March and oninto early April winning just two of theirfirst five games, including a 1-1 tie withSouth County. But the Bruins settled andgot on a roll, winning nine of their next 10games, the final two victories of that stretchcoming in the first two games of the PatriotDistrict tournament, and making it quiteknown they were a region force to be reck-oned with along with such other teams asWest Springfield, Langley, McLean, Wash-ington-Lee, and Oakton.
Lake Braddock came back to earth in thedistrict tournament finals where it lost toWest Springfield, 2-1. But coach Jo Soos’squad put the setback behind quickly and,
at regionals, won four straight games tocapture the region crown. Region playoffwins came over Madison, 2-0, Oakton, 2-0,Washington-Lee, 3-2 in overtime, and, inthe finals at Westfield, a 2-1 triumph overthe Langley Saxons.
The Bruins had numerous playoff heroes,but the biggest had to be senior forwardMatt Fraedrich, who caught the scoring bugafter having scored just a couple of regularseason goals. During the postseason, includ-ing two games at states, Fraedrich went onto score eight goals over 11 games. His goalwith just under 12 minutes remaining inthe region finals at Madison High Schoolbroke a 1-1 tie with Langley and proved tobe the game-winner. Bruins’ seniormidfielder Elhadji Diouf had scored histeam’s first goal earlier in the second halfto tie the score at 1-1.
Lake Braddock went on to win a game atthe state playoffs, a 2-0 quarterfinals homewin over Indian River (Chesapeake) beforeseeing its season end with a 2-1 loss to DeepRun in a state semifinals game at Westfield,a loss that was intensified by some contro-versial calls and a postgame skirmish.
Nonetheless, while the Bruins’ run to-wards a state finals appearance fell short,it was an overall fantastic year for the squad.
The W.T. Woodson girls’ soccer teamproved to be a region force and put togetherthe program’s best season since 2004 whenthat year’s Cavaliers won both region andstate championships.
Woodson, which lost just one game dur-ing the regular season (to Robinson, 1-0),
was playing at or near its best by postseasontime, especially on defense. The Cavaliers,under head coach Warren Williams, reachedthe district tournament finals but lost thereto South County, 2-0, in the contest playedat Lee High.
But the team came back to win four gamesat the region tournament, including the fi-nals win over McLean, 1-0, at Madison HighSchool. The Cavaliers’ defense was simplyrelentless at regionals, allowing no goalsthroughout the four wins (victories overMadison, 3-0; Oakton, 1-0; Chantilly, 3-0;and the Liberty District champion Highland-ers of McLean).
In the semifinals win over Chantilly, theCavaliers scored all three of their goals af-ter halftime, the scores coming from seniorErin Havard, junior Elizabeth Gaski, andfreshmen Teresa Fruchterman. GoalieMarlee Stynchula, throughout the regionplayoffs, was spectacular in the net.
In the finals win over McLean, Woodsongot an early goal from Havard and its de-fense held the Highlanders scoreless the restof the way in the 1-0 win. McLean put sev-eral strong offensive rushes on the Cava-liers’ defense late in the contest but couldnot break through. Woodson defeated aMcLean team that would ultimately go onto win the state title.
Woodson (16-3-3) saw its season endwith a first round state tournament playoffloss to Cox High of Virginia Beach in over-time. Woodson senior midfielder DanielleKing, at season’s end, was named the North-ern Region Player of the Year.
Stallions reachedbaseball state finals,Woodson girls earnedregion soccer crown.

meaning you have a 4.0 or better,”Wardinski said.
He listed numerous accomplishmentsWSHS students achieved in their senioryear, including the fact that nearly 100 per-cent of the students are planning to attenda two or four-year college.
Some students are bound for Ivy Leagueschools such as Princeton, Harvard andBoston University, while other graduateswill attend some of the best public and pri-vate schools in Virginia. Several students,he noted, enlisted directly in the militaryand were leaving soon for boot camp.
“This last group was missed at the recentSenior Awards Ceremony. So at this timewould Robert Hutchison, Patrick Ing, TomHerbst, Corinne Airgood, Steven Ely, Mor-gan Gillette and Nick Black please stand andbe honored for agreeing to go off and serveour country, especially during a time con-flict. Thank you for your service and patrio-tism,” Wardinski said to loud applause.
He also noted the following statistics:* Thirty percent of this class were offered
scholarships in excess of over $8.7 milliondollars. One hundred and 18 of took ad-vantage of them for about $4 million, whichis an average of $35,000.
❖ West Springfield had a Cappies nomi-nation for the musical “Suessical”
❖ In the sports arena, the school had nu-merous student-athletes earn all-district, all-region, All-Met
❖ The WSHS dance team won its nationalcompetition for the second straight year
❖ West Springfield’s marching band re-ceived superior ratings at multiple compe-titions.
❖ Five AP Lit students were chosen tohave their poetry published in “Falling forthe Story,” an anthology of exemplary writ-ing by students of Northern Virginia Writ-ing Project
❖ Seventy-two graduates earned the Vir-ginia Department of Education’s Civic Seal,meaning that they completed a minimumof 50 hours of community service and main-tained a grade of B or higher in several re-quired social studies classes. Last year,WSHS had 32 and the year before none.
“We again inducted well over 100 stu-dents in the National Honor Society this

year,” Wardinski said, “but more impor-tantly all of our NHS members continuedtutoring students, worked as part of twobeautification days, organized a toy and giftdrive that brought in hundreds of gifts forneedy families in the area, and again hosteda Prom, corsages and all, at theGreenspring, a local senior citizen facility.In total, our NHS members completed over3,200 hours of community service.”
He ended his speech with a quote fromHarry Potter’s wise wizardly mentor, Prof.Albus Dumbledore. “It is our choices Harry,that show what we truly are, far more thanour abilities.”
“Soon,” Wardinski said, “we must all facethe choice between what is right and whatis easy.”
With the turn of a tassel, and a toss of themortarboard, the ceremony was over.
“We feel we have a long tradition of dig-nified ceremonies at WSHS and today wasno exception, minus two beach balls,”Wardinski said after the ceremony. “ I feltthe speeches were well done, the seniorsand audience behaved well, we kept it un-der our two hour time limit without it be-ing rushed, and most importantly. we hon-ored all the accomplishments of our veryimpressive class of seniors. I am so proudof each and every one of them.”

The Fairfax Stars fifth grade boys’AAU basketball team won the AAU Su-per Regional in Harrisburg, Pa., on May20-22. The team, which has now wonback to back Super Regionals in Har-risburg, has once again qualified forthe Division I AAU National Champi-onships in Cocoa Beach, Fla., in July.
The Stars, at the Super Regionals inHarrisburg, kept teams off balance byusing a variety of defenses and woreteams down with their pressure andintensity. The big guys inside providedfire power around the basket, scoringon drives to the basket, off of reboundsfollow-ups and in transition off breakaway lay-ups on the press break. Theteam’s guards were able to use all oftheir talents, scoring repeatedly fromthree point range, on drives to the bas-ket, and by dissecting opponents’ fullcourt pressure for easy baskets.
As a team, the Stars put extremepressure on their opponent’s by push-ing the ball up the court and gettingshots off before the defense could getset. With contributions from all 11players, the team made the weekenda memorable one for the fans, parents,coaches and each of the players. TheStars have worked hard since the be-ginning of March and are hitting theirstride. Congratulations to the team ona tremendous accomplishment andmemorable weekend of basketball.

Noe Méndez Tojil Denisse Aquino
Hispanic Leadership Alliance aids Woodson,Fairfax grads.
By Bonnie Hobbs
The Connection
Out of 41 applications, the His-panic Leadership Alliance(HLA) only awarded fivescholarships this year to
Fairfax County students, and DenisseAquino at Fairfax High and Noe MéndezTojil Woodson Adult HighSchool received them.
“No matter how many ob-stacles they faced, they movedon,” said Assistant Superinten-dent of Cluster VIII, FabioZuluaga. “This is what successis all about — perseverance, de-termination and hard work.”
Just 16, Aquino received theSTEM (Science, Technology,Engineering, Math) Scholarshipsince she plans a career in medi-cine. Originally fromCochabamba, Bolivia, she andher mother came to the U.Snine years ago. There was astepfather for a while, but heand her mother separated dur-ing Aquino’s sophomore year atFairfax High.
“So we had to start from noth-ing,” she said. “We left with only the clotheson our backs. But what was important isthat we were together. My mom’s alwaysbeen there for me, but she has to work a lotto help me and my brothers — Matthew, 6,and Jean-Luke, 4 — have a better life thanshe had.”
Still, things weren’t easy. Her mom holdsdown two jobs, so Aquino has to help takecare of her brothers. She also works atChick-Fil-A after school and on Saturdays.But her mom encouraged her to do well inschool and, said Aquino, “She always toldme I was going to go to college.”
So Aquino followed her advice and, de-spite everything, said HLA President IdiDuncan, “She’s taken 12 advanced courses,and has a 3.95 GPA. She’s respected andadmired by her peers, [and] before school,during lunch and after school, Denisse tu-tors other students in math and English.”
Now, she’s headed to Christopher New-port College to take biology and pre-medcourses. “I want to become a pediatricianand set up a free clinic in Bolivia,” saidAquino. “Bolivia is so destitute and there’sso much need, I want to do my best to help.I love kids, and a lot of people there don’thave money to go to a doctor or hospital.”
During the year, she was able to shadowa pediatrician at Inova Fairfax Hospital andshe really enjoyed it. “You could see howthe doctors combined their knowledge tohelp their patients get better,” said Aquino.
She even found time to do communityservice, working with the Lost Dog and CatRescue Foundation in Falls Church. “I

walked the rescue dogs outside PetSmarteach Saturday so people could see andadopt them,” she said. “I loved it, eventhough, before, I’d been afraid of dogs, be-cause I’d been bitten when I was little. See-ing them with their new families made mefeel happy because I knew I made a differ-ence.”
Aquino was thrilled to win the HLA Schol-
arship, plus two others through her school.“I’m so grateful to everyone for this helpbecause it’s hard to come up with the moneyfor college,” she said. “I plan to work hardin college and get really good grades. Chris-topher Newport also gave me some finan-cial aid and they have a good pre-med pro-gram, so I’m happy to go there.”
“It means a lot to me knowing that peoplehere support me and trust that I have a longfuture ahead of me,” she said. “Being ableto be the first gen-eration in my fam-ily to go to collegehere is a greathonor and a greattask, but I am de-termined to exceedmy potential.”
Méndez Tojil, 23,received the SoniaRosa Vélez Memo-rial Scholarship. She was a dedicated, FCPSSpanish teacher and HLA member, and thisaward goes to someone pursuing a careerin education.
“Noe is a leader and a star student here,”said Woodson Adult High School PrincipalJane Cruz. “It’s been such a joy to have himhere. He competed [for the scholarship]against people who’d taken AP and honorscourses elsewhere, but he stood out fromthem because he has a passion for learningand sharing his knowledge.”
Originally from Guatemala, Méndez Tojilcame to the U.S. in October 2003 and hasworked in restaurants to support his par-
ents back home. “I came here for a betterlife,” he said. “I have five sisters and twobrothers and I’m the youngest. I didn’t speakEnglish when I came here, but I had to learnit to communicate.”
After six years, he started high school atPimmit Hills Alternative School. “I alwaysliked history, and my World History I and IIteacher there influenced me to think abouta career as a history teacher,” he said. “Ialso learned from him what makes a goodteacher, when he really loves what he does
and loves to help stu-dents.”
When that schoolclosed in September2010, Méndez Tojilcame to Woodson, de-termined to succeed.“When you want toachieve something,you have to workhard,” he said. “I’venever been absent be-cause I wanted to learnand get good grades.”
Initially, he was in alarge classroom con-taining four differentclasses and he didn’tlike it. “But eventually,we became like a fam-ily,” he said. “It doesn’tmatter what your situ-
ation is, you just have to look at the posi-tive, not the negative, side and make thebest of it. Even if you make mistakes, youlearn from them and it makes you tougher.”
At Woodson, Méndez Tojil’s Englishteacher, Donna Gerdin, inspired him. “She’salways helping me,” he said. “English is mysecond language, so I need help with spell-ing and grammar. I can go to her if I havequestions, and I want to help other peoplethat way, too.”
Applying for anHLA Scholarship,he had to write anessay, but he didn’texpect to winagainst so manypeople. “I was sur-prised,” he said.“But they liked myessay because itcame from the
heart. I wrote about my life and what I likeabout my classes and teachers at Woodson.”
When Méndez Tojil found out he’d won ascholarship, he was overjoyed. “It’s a hugehelp because college tuition is expensiveand it’ll help me get started,” he said. Heplans to attend NOVA and then transfer toGMU to become a high-school historyteacher.
“History doesn’t have to be boring,” hesaid. “It’s up to the teacher to make it inter-esting. Even though I wasn’t born here, Ifeel proud to be in this country, with all thegreat things it’s achieved. I want to stay hereand contribute to it.”
