By Tom Bode, WSI President
What were you like when you finished high school? Did you feel relief, gratitude, or dread? WSI student Japheth completed high school this month, and reflects on his personal growth and hopes for the future in a recent letter to WSI.
Japheth is an outstanding student despite a tough start in life. He tragically lost both of his parents at a young age and was brought up by community members. In high school, he served as school president, among other student leadership positions, and his high grades placed him at the very top of his class. This letter also shows him to be thoughtful, appreciative, and mature with an intense focus on reaching his goals in life.
WSI paid for Japheth's four years of high school. We are pleased to have enabled Japheth to complete his high school education and we wish him the best on his end of year exams. We are hoping for him to score high enough to achieve his dream of attending university, and if he does, WSI will be glad to support him in that journey.
First, meet Japheth in this short clip from November 2022.
