Eddy Sets Goals to Achieve His Dreams

Eddy Sets Goals to Achieve His Dreams/inner-city
Dear Mary, Rob, and Shelly,

Eddy is a seventh grader whose father died when he was a young boy, leaving him with a need for positive role models in his life. When he first came to TEAM-WORKS Academy, Eddy knew that he wanted to play professional football one day because of his love for the game, but he did not know what it would take to achieve this dream. Eddy is a known athlete in his school but has had some behavioral issues and academic challenges that, if not addressed, could prevent him from succeeding and achieving his goals.

Since attending TEAM-WORKS Academy, Eddy has set clear and concise goals that will help him not only succeed in middle school but in high school, college and beyond. He now knows the important role that education plays in achieving his life goals and has a strong desire to go to college. Eddy has been making great progress in his behavior and now displays a positive attitude toward school and learning. He is currently working on being a good leader among his peers and has developed great relationships with TEAM-WORKS mentors who help him to make good life decisions and achieve his dreams.

Mary (6 months!), Rob (5 months!) and Shelly, because of your generous donations, Eddy is now able to attend TEAM-WORKS Academy for an entire year. He will not only get the academic support he needs but he will also be able to have positive role models in his life who care about him, his future and his well-being.
