HIGHLIGHTING COMMUNITY LEADERS
“I’m going to own a newspaper after I graduate.”
I came to LEAD to bring my grades up and to become a better person. I also came here to have a brighter future; before I came here I didn’t even know what I wanted to be in life or what year I would graduate from high school. Now, with the help of the LEAD staff, I know what year I’m graduating (2014!), where I’m going to college (Stanford), and what I’m going to be in life (newspaper owner).
At LEAD we work as a team and we are like a big family. Every day we learn so many different things, not only academically but behavioral also. We work so hard to achieve our goals; we help people with their problems and we have a little fun too.My favorite part of the day is Crew. This is the time during the day when we gather as a small group and talk about our goals and accomplishments and talk about what makes us LEADers. If you want to learn more about Crew and what we do every day, click here.
One of the things I started here at LEAD was the newspaper, which we call the LEAD Story. You can read the LEAD Story here. Starting the newspaper and studying hard is helping me reach my dreams. When I grow up I plan on having a newspaper company or some kind of business and then come back and work at LEAD for a little.
