Mountain View Los Altos High School District v Isabel Martynenko FREESTYLE STUDENT OF THE YEAR LAHS DIGITAL MEDIA STUDENT MARCH 13, 2017 Isabel Martynenko (or Izzy, as we know her) is the quintessential Freestyle Academy student: passionate, creative, ambitious, and respectful. She happens to possess a talent for visual communication – a talent she showed coming into the program and advanced during her two consecutive years here. One of the greatest pleasures of being an English teacher is working with students like Izzy who are intrinsically engaged in literature and art and who bring to class each day an honest eagerness to explore new territory and improve their thinking. Izzy’s subtle urgency to advance herself makes her stand out; whether she is working with peers or conferencing with me, she demonstrates a genuine desire to improve herself.
