We received the good news that two of our Dream Team scholarship recipients have the highest grades in their schools. Such a great accomplishment and we are proud of all of their effort. We asked them what that means to them and here is what they had to say.
Oussannaelle joined our programs in 2019 and is a Dream Team scholarship recipient and part of our Young Leaders program. She now has the highest grades in her high school. “To have the highest GPA in my class means a lot to me because I made lots of sacrifices, and now I know it was not in vain. I go to sleep late due to studying and I wake up early to study again. I've been through a lot and I did it all just to get this high grade. I'm satisfied now to know my sacrifices turn into success.
I like school and I like when they give me homework. I enjoy studying at home and my favorite subjects are Biology and Chemistry. School is important to me because it will shape me to be the person I want to be in life. It's important to me because I know I will be respected and people won't underestimate me. Most importantly I will be very proud of myself.”
The other student to reach the top of her class is Joanna who also joined our programs in 2019. At 10 years old she already had made education a priority saying “School is important to me because it is where I learn how to read and write. Education is the way for me. Having the highest GPA in my class makes me very happy because I've worked really hard to get that high grade.”
Our programs provide daily activities in soccer that teaches life skills plus support for kids to gain an education which is the way forward to following their dreams.
