She is a student who stands out in any crowd of high school students no matter whether the measuring stick is scholarship, leadership, humanity, involvement, or positive influence on others.  It is a joy to know her and to work with her daily!

Laura makes the most of her many talents with strong determination, an unbeatable positive outlook on every situation and a willingness to put in whatever hard work it takes to achieve her goals.

I have watched her gather others into study groups for test review and work cooperatively with them to be sure they all are thoroughly ready for the test.  Not only has this resulted in very high grades on the test for all of them, but it has also had dramatic effects on turning around the attitudes of the students in her self-organized group.  They are now working harder and see themselves as more successful.  Her optimism and happy attitude are very contagious.  I have yet to see a day when she has not come in with the big smile on her face and a bright outlook on the day's activities.

Does Laura Valdmanis demonstrate generosity, a positive attitude, a strong character, and a good sized list of person accomplishments?  Definitely yes, and she is a great role model who deserves the honor of placement on Ragan's Wall.
