A Step Above: Amy Mettke
Coronado High School
Class of 2011
There’s something extra admirable about Coronado High School senior Amy Mettke. It may be due in part to her fantastic academic record. Or a tireless, go get ‘em attitude, even amidst never-ending to-do lists. But more than likely, it’s got much to do with her grateful demeanor. Ever mindful of the support she’s received and the examples of discipline that have been laid down for her to follow, she is resolutely thankful for the opportunities she’s been given. Her hard work and commitment to excellence stand in tribute to those who’ve helped her along the way, and for that, Amy Mettke is – A Step Above.

Goals & Aspirations: “My goal right now is to go to a college of my choice with enough scholarships as to not burden my parents. Wherever I end up going, I plan to give my all and take advantage of every opportunity given to me. I aspire to learn more and grow into the successful, noble person I strive to become.”
Accomplishments Most Proud Of: “I’m most proud of staying committed to everything I’m involved in and not giving up. Although I feel overwhelmed at times, trying to maintain good grades as well as carry out many of my other responsibilities, I love everything I do at school and would never give up the experiences I’ve had.”
Amy is Successful Because: “I think what makes me successful is my ‘not-good-enough’ attitude. I feel there is always something I can do to improve on something, and am never satisfied with myself. I strive to continuously grow and set new goals for myself.”
Amy Looks Up To: “I look up to my mom because of her determination and persistence. The past couple of years, she’s been running the Las Vegas Marathon and is now training for a triathlon. My goal is to one day run a marathon and do a triathlon alongside my mother.”
