Not only does he excel academically, displaying exceptional intelligence and a thirst for knowledge through his avid reading habits, but he also embodies the virtues of citizenship and integrity through his contributions to the yearbook staff, leadership, and the soccer team. Owen's genuine care for others' wellbeing and learning makes him a joy to be around. (Hart)

It's evident that she cares about her own success. ¡Gracias, Jessie! (Wise)
