Meet Walter, who is a student in the 9th grade at Minnie Howard Campus of Alexandria City High School and he participates in our out-of-school time programming at Fifer Learning Center. His favorite subject is English. Walter recently received the Community Award at Alexandria City High School.
In addition to Walter’s parents and family, Community Lodgings’ staff are proud of him for getting good grades and being helpful to his teachers and classmates and practicing good citizenship at school and in the community.
When asked how he achieved the award, Walter replied, “By being good in the quarter and doing all my work. A lot of times I would help kids with homework, and with translation, like when I’m in English class.” Walter defines community as helping people. He expressed, “It feels good, because I always love helping people when they need it.” When asked about the future, Walter said, “I don’t know yet, but I want to continue what I’m doing now.”
Walter continues to receive the inspiration and encouragement, as well as the mentoring and tutoring support he needs to excel in school and life. We’re cheering you on! Way to go, Walter!
