Erica is an assistant to all of her peers. If a student is struggling in class Erica will do her best to solve the problem without getting the assistance of an adult. In addition to helping with academics, she is a huge help to her teachers. Ms. Pregler can always count on Erica sticking around to pick up the calculators and loose paper. Her determination to do excellent work on homework is something all students can aspire to attain. Not only does she excel in the classroom, but her effort on the volleyball court is one to be admired. Her coaches appreciated her hustle in practice that transcended to the game. Thanks for being a helping hand and always having a realistic view on situations.​
