Patch Whiz Kid of the Week: Faith Corbin

Whiz Kid's Name: Faith Corbin

Whiz Kid's Age: 9

Whiz Kid's Grade: 4th

Whiz Kid's School:

Whiz Kid's Accomplishments: Faith excels in the classroom and has essentially had all A’s through her education thus far. She was a finalist in this year’s Martin Luther King poster contest put on by the city, and was also a finalist in second grade for the coloring contest.

She is an avid reader, last year making it through Harry Potter and this year on to Twilight, which she is now into the second book of the series. Faith also plays lacrosse, scoring an average of two goals per game, despite having severe Asthma which can flair up especially in the heat.

Whiz Kid's Key to Awesomeness (what made her successful?): Faith tries her hardest in everything she does and doesn’t let anything slow her down. With her severe Asthma, she has to take major steroids and she has a very hard time breathing, but she still plays hard for her team and shows that she has a lot of spirit.

Congrats to Faith on being Bowie Patch's Whiz Kid of the Week!
