We did it again this year! We kept twelve Assist-A-Grad dreams alive. We are so proud of the students we interviewed because of their efforts in school, and all of the volunteer hours they gave. Let’s celebrate with them to stir up more good works.
Every year we sit with the students I offer them the same advice: “Always ask for help.” This year I added, “Don’t just seek help, pursue it.” These scholarships will help build up their confidence to help them endure through college. We know that without wavering we can stop the violence one dream at a time because in these students we saw a glimpse of the good things that are coming.
We also had the opportunity to hold back our tears as we shared memories of how Matt inspired us, how Lesley inspired us, and how Dwight inspired us. Once again, these amazing students from Fairfield inspired us to hold fast to Matt’s dream. If you find yourself in need of some inspiration, you might volunteer with us next year to interview for Assist-A-Grad. You won’t be disappointed. We make a good team.
