My favorite moments are watching students cross the stage as they graduate. Many of them struggle with daily battles we know nothing about so to see them succeed is inspiring.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Pay off debt and get a new car. Then donate some to our school’s CARE team and foundation to help staff and students.
