BY ALEX MITCHELL
One dedicated student from Saint
Barnabas High School has been
awarded for her extracurricular
achievements as well as hard work
ethic in the Bronx and elsewhere.
Sofi a Rosado was given a virtual
version of the Bronx Chamber of Commerce’s
Women of Distinction Scholarship
towards the end of last month,
which was sponsored by the Woodlawn
Cemetery.
Rosado is described by award givers
as a motivated, conscientious and independent
student who volunteers in her
school’s offi ce while also being known
among her teachers for her thorough
and “meticulous work ethic.”
One Saint Barnabas alum, Barbara
Selesky, who is now director of marketing
and media relations at Woodlawn
commented on Rosado’s achievement,
saying “the importance of awarding
this Women of Distinction scholarship
is twofold.”
Continuing her academic career
with a focus in technology, the distinguished
student has completed multiple
courses in applied psychology and
computer science at Saint Barnabas.
In her spare time, Rosado works as
a babysitter and volunteers throughout
the Bronx, which is what made her
stand out as a worthy candidate.
She has recently been inducted into
the National Hispanic Honor Society
and also plans on attending Queens
Borough Community College, where
Rosado currently plans on majoring in
computer science.
“Woodlawn takes great pride in being
the fi nal resting place of many notable
women of distinction who have
changed the course of history through
their leadership,” Selesky added, noting
that female leaders like Elizabeth
Cady Stanton, African-American trailblazer
