Arter is self-motivated while working on art projects. She is a hard worker and strives to do her best. She is very talented and her art pieces showcase her range of abilities. I enjoy her positive attitude and she is easy to pick on, according to a news release from Whitko.

Justine Ocken – Whitko Career Academy
As a student and young adult, Ocken exemplifies what we all need to practice: kindness. She extends a positive, helpful and supportive attitude towards her peers and teachers. Along with this, Justine demonstrates a unique determination to do the best in all she is asked - assignments, projects, class activity and participation. While doing this, she also possesses a keen awareness of those around her who may be needing a kind word and she is not afraid to ask questions and constantly learn from her classroom experiences and those around her. The "soft skills" Justine exhibits will be a great asset to her future endeavors and are currently valued and observed as a successful student at Whitko Career Academy, according to the release.
Ocken was nominated by teacher Kelley Sheiss.
