year. I’m leaving this country for the first time in my life. I’m going to London in a week
and the future seems bright.
I’m a senior in college now. I have already completed my biology minor and
music major. I have one short year to go. I committed myself to take on a variety of
responsibilities in my three short years here, one of which was the Community Assistant
position. I’ve been offered a job running the STEM and Music program at a Boys and
Girls Club when I get back. I’m leaving my options open however so I did not commit.
There are going to be more opportunities after I return from Europe. I get to work for one
month as an intern in an industry of my choice.
I’ve explored the Adirondacks because of its convenience and accessibility and I
saw it as an opportunity to engage with the world in a different way. It taught me to trust
myself a little bit more. I found the virtue in silence and the Daks strengthened me
physically as well.
Every time I return to the city I’m grateful for the way things turned out with
school. I’m seeing doors open up that I did not see before. Being a Laurentian has
developed me into being a better learner and professional. I have considered continuing
my education as well.
Thank you Roslyn and Mitchell S., and the Stephanie Marie Burgos Scholarship
foundation for accepting me as a scholar and actively providing opportunity to inner city
youth like myself.
All the best,
Alex Martin
