In the fall, you heard a lot about what The Brandon
Foundation does and is. To start out 2017, I wanted to offer some perspective
about what The Brandon Foundation means to our scholars and mentors. With that,
I leave you to read a few words from our scholars.
An Interview with
Aaliyah and Edyn
What is your favorite
activity at The Brandon Foundation?
Aaliyah: Inspirational videos at the end of The Brandon
Foundation
Edyn: Service projects because I feel like I’m doing
something good. My favorite service project was the first one I did, with Kids
Against Hunger.
What is the most important thing you’ve learned at The Brandon Foundation?
A: Learning about God.
E: Don’t let anyone stop you from achieving your goals and
dreams. I dream of becoming an actress and traveling the world before I leave
this world.
Aaliyah, what are
your goals?
A: My dream is to become a vet. My short-term goal is to
continue to achieve Honor Roll and to exceed the expectations for Honor Roll.
Who was your favorite
speaker and why?
A & E: The Christian rapper Mickey Young was their
favorite guest speaker because people doubted him and told him he couldn’t become
a successful Christian rapper, but he kept going and grew his career how he
wanted to.
What is a new
experience that you’ve been able to have because of The Brandon Foundation?
E: I got to try karate at The Brandon Foundation, and
afterwards I joined a karate class. I liked the self-defense aspect of it.

time.
