    Naaman Forest presents special challenges to those of us that go the extra mile to aid our very diverse student body. This diversity creates special challenges. Specifically, we have the most ethnically diverse student population of any High School in Garland. Vivian is very soft spoken and compassionate with ALL kids, many from very poor culture and dysfunctional homes. Likewise, she is equally helpful with kids from more enriched environments.
    Vivian also is an resource for staff. I would not hestitate to discuss in personal problems with her as I know she would listen and offer advise.
    I highly recommend Vivian Johnson for the SponStar award.
