How do you know your graduating student nominee?
Grandson
Tell us why they deserve to be nominated!
He works very hard to be the best he can be. He volunteers for many things. He is the Commencement Speaker at Graduation, has 4.6 GPA, he 1530 SAT. He will be going to Cornell. He lost his father to cancer at the age of 11. He was raised by single mother with limited resources. Instead of going out to play learn how to ride a bike or develop friendships he studied. He wanted to help his mother when he grew up. He in my eyes is so hard on himself. He deserves recognition because he is always thinking of someone else.
What's one thing you want everyone to know about your graduating student nominee?
His kindness and thoughtfulness.
Congratulations on your achievements, and all of our best wishes to you in the future, Skylar!
