DC Valedictorian Is Off To College After Years Of Living In A Tent: ‘I’m Studying Legal Studies’
“A lot of people don’t get that second chance, and Goodwill allowed that second chance for me, and I appreciate that,” he said of the opportunity the school brought him.
Goodwill Excel Center’s website describes its mission as “understanding that many students may come into the program with varying skills having been out of the classroom for some time” and “regardless of level.”
It adds, “we support the whole student, and respond to the fact that life commitments and circumstances can often stop people from continuing their high school education.”
Last week, Jeffrey graduated as valedictorian. The week before that, he moved into an apartment for the first time in two years since losing his home.
