To show students that doing well can bring them recognition, the Citizens Advisory Committee of Quarterfield Elementary School has asked The Sun to help publicize its Student of the Week. Winners of the honor must write about themselves.

Hi, my name is Shawn Carney. I'm 11 years old and in the fifth grade. I love animals. I have a dog, six birds, three lizards, one rabbit and 13 fish. I'm trying to get a hamster, too. I have 12 people in my family: my mom, my dad, my grandmothers, my grandfather, my sister and uncles and my aunt. The things I like best are playing baseball, spending money and camping. The best moment of my life was when my mom came back from Florida. My best subjects are math and science. I have a really great life.
