Scholar Update: Daniel Molina
As a Boston Scholar, Daniel is our student representative for the incredible Mike Sullivan Memorial Scholarship and the team working on the golf tournament to raise money to support this fund. Here's a short "shout out" on what Daniel is doing this Fall: As a freshman at the tuition-based Boston College High School, Daniel continues to serve as a great representative of the Boston Scholars Program. Proving himself to be a dedicated student, Daniel's high grade point average earned him High Honors this past semester at BC High. Outside the classroom, Daniel has joined the Cross Country team and enjoys representing his school in 2 mile races. Daniel finds that sports allow him to learn a great deal from a supportive coach and new friends. In terms of community service, Daniel makes time to serve on his school's Black and Latino Student Union. What Daniel enjoys most from The Student Union is that it allows him to teach others in the larger school community about his culture and background. Thinking ahead about his goals for college in 2010, Daniel hopes to be admitted to a challenging college where he can pursue his interest in science and biology.
Volunteer Mentors Needed
The success of the Boston Scholars Program hinges on our volunteer mentors, who spend a few hours a month meeting with their students to mentor them and help make sure they are on a path to success. All we ask of our mentors is to make a one year committment to mentor their student. For times when getting together in person is a challenge, some mentors just speak with their students over the phone. If you want to learn more about volunteer mentoring with the Boston Scholars Program, you can check out our mentoring page. We need volunteer mentors today for our new class of students. Contact us now to volunteer as a mentor.
