Dear Stephanie Marie Burgos Foundation,
I
have graduated from St. Lawrence University with a Bachelor’s of Arts in Music.
It has been a journey and my most proud accomplishment. I did more than I
thought I could achieve prior to getting to school. I have overcome the normal
developmental plights of transitioning from boyhood to manhood and am ready for
the next mountains life would like to put in front of me.
Four
and a half years ago if you told me that I would go to Europe for four months,
meet state legislators, remain fit, be a Community Assistant, buy a car, and
graduate with a plethora of new skills and connections I’d probably not believe
you. This education has given me a sense of responsibility to do something
right and productive. Fulfilling the Peer Development Director position is an
undertaking I do not take lightly and see as an opportunity to gain more skills
because of what it entails. I believe in the work being done with the
foundation and I plan on continuing it.
I’ve
come out with an overall more professional demeanor, a basic bureaucratic
blueprint of how the world works, appreciation for what I was granted, and a
drive to thrive. I want to succeed badly and school has given me the basic
tools to do so. I thank you all for your continued support and am looking
forward to our new accomplishments.
All the best,
Alex Martin
