Just got this from Francisco Hernandez, the Lennox student heading off to the Ivy League. We told his story on Sunday.
"Today I read the South Bay Pipeline Blog, and the many things written by not only Larry,but many wonderful people out there. Let me say that all these people that say they are proud of me, I thank you, because all of this is just another big encouragement for me to do better.
I've had a tough life so far, but things are what you make them when it's time for you to take control. I've already taken control of my life, and I don't let the pieces fall where they may, I place them where they are suited best, and where they will create a better and more successful future for me.
Once again, thank you everybody. It has always, ALWAYS, been people like you that have pushed me to do better. I will continue to do so in college, and make many more proud. Thank you.
Thank you, Larry, and thank the Daily Breeze for running the story. I have a tough road ahead of me, but all these comments are giving me so much strength to hold my head up high and keep moving forward. Thank you!"
