time now to meet the 30th and final winner this school year of the news. 12 scholar athlete award sponsored by Bethpage Federal Credit Union. She's baldwin High School senior Arora voice check now, I don't know the name of Aurora's seventh grade math teacher, but whoever you are just know that the day you handed her that pamphlet about field hockey, you created a monster. Six years later, the girl who knew nothing about the sport is now one of its best players. Arora was the Bruins captain and leaves High School with all League in all county honors. She earned those awards without ever scoring a goal. Her coach said Aurora's tenacity is what sets her apart and she admits something inside of her just comes out when that stick is in her hand. I think a lot of my teachers actually recognize it because sometimes they'll show up to the game and they're like, I didn't know you could hit the ball like that. You know, you just sit in my class and you're very quiet and you raise your hand and but out there it's someone else. Arora also says music transforms her and allows her to express herself when the words can't. She is president and plays bass in the chamber orchestra, also plays the bass guitar in the jazz band. So calling her passionate about music might be an understatement. Sometimes I get so into the music, you know, and I almost teared up sometimes. Um but yeah, and like our last concert is actually next monday. So just knowing that that's gonna be my last concert in like a full orchestra like this, it it means a lot to me. Arora is also president of the athletes, helping athletes club and the publicist for the Mathletes. She has a 96.5 G. P. A. And will attend Suny Oswego and like all of our winners, she gets a $1000 scholarship from Bethpage Federal Credit Union. I'm kevin Maher.
