Amanda Medeiros was nominated by Debra Shaw, one of her family members.
"In my opinion, she changes students' lives by encouraging them to be the best they can be. She believes in them and shows them that it’s ok to fail as long as you learn from that experience and go on to do something great. She believes all students are capable of greatness," said Shaw.
