Remarkable Stories of Perseverance
Awakening in the middle of the night in excruciating pain and unable to walk, one past recipient was diagnosed with leukemia at the age of four. Over the next several years, this student experienced the effects of chemotherapy on physical development and learning, homelessness, and the loss of a family friend who had opened their home to the family. These challenges did not stop this student from giving 100% in the classroom and keeping a positive attitude. This student aspires to study Graphic Design and Psychology, and make a positive impact in the world.
Another past recipient along with a parent fled Iran in 2011 due to persecution of Christian beliefs. They spent 18 months in a Turkish refugee camp isolated from others, without access to medical care or education. A sponsorship brought them to Fresno and the student “hit the ground running” as a Clovis Unified freshman. Hard work and a can-do attitude garnered a 4.0 GPA in college preparatory courses, earning the Principal’s Honor Roll every semester. This student wants to continue on to higher education and provide care for disadvantaged groups.
The home environment for one past Student of Promise recipient led to excessive school absences in elementary school. Often making arrangements to stay with classmates on school nights to ensure return to school the next day, this student relied on help from a Clovis Unified teacher who kept toiletry items in the classroom for the student to freshen up. The instability continued until junior high when the student had an opportunity to live with a Clovis Unified family. This student looks forward to being the first in the family to attend college.
