Gabriella Mastrobuoni
Juggling schoolwork and extracurricular activities can be demanding for anyone, but Ss. John Neumann-Maria Goretti senior Gabriella Mastrobuoni was able to strike the balance and excel on both sides.
“Gabriella is one of the best students I have come in contact with while working here,” school Admissions Director Veronica Oster said. “She is brilliant, motivated, friendly and extremely outgoing,”
Intellectually, politically and athletically inclined, Gabriella divides her energies among various activities. She is a member of the National Honors Society, vice president of her class, cheerleading captain and a Community Services Corp, Usher Corp and Italian Club member.
The 17-year-old from the 2400 block of South 16th Street is especially proficient in science. She has received awards for being at the top of her physical science, biology, and chemistry classes for the past three years. She seems to be continuing her streak with a high average in her current Biology II class.
Gabriella’s penchant for the sciences should prove valuable, as she plans on majoring in nursing at Neumann College.
“She is one of the best examples of a student, not only here at Neumann-Goretti, but in all of South Philadelphia,” Oster said.
The student considers family members Mary, John and Kim “the best people to look up to,” crediting them with teaching her valuable lessons and providing her with love and support.
Gabriella Mastrobuoni will receive a $150 savings bond. If you are a teacher or full-time educator and would like to nominate a student (first through 12th grades), call 215-336-2500 ext. 123 or e-mail editor@southphillyreview.com.
