Eman Ashgar is from Hershey High School and was nominated by Colette Silvestri.
Eman has been strong and resilient as her mother battles stage 4 ovarian cancer. Eman took responsibility for assisting with the care of her younger siblings, a duty far beyond her years. She handled this responsibility well, rarely even bringing it up at school. In spite of all her adversity, she came to school cheerful and worked hard to keep up with her studies.
Eman hopes to become a medical doctor and is hoping to get into a pre-med program.
Mrs. Silvestri says of Eman, "In spite of schedule and family challenges, Eman has participated in the Medical Center's PULSE program, Brain Bree (Neurological competition), Biomedical course at Robert Crook Honors College and, eventually, the Governors's School for Medicine."
