Shelly first came to Motivate Our Minds as a shy and reluctant first grader struggling with many challenges. She also needed a place to go that would not only help her with her academics but also with her inter-personal skills.
Motivate Our Minds has been both to Shelly. For the past two years, Motivate Our Minds has assisted Shelly as she has worked to improve academically AND how to interact socially with her peers. During the COVID crisis, Shelly was able to receive help completing her e-learning assignments. School work is not always easy for Shelly, but she is persistent.
From the first day of Shelly's attendance to now, her confidence has grown. She now wears a vibrant, energetic smile that reflects her new-found confidence. She still has plenty of hard work left in order to accomplish her education goals. The difference is that now she has the tools and confidence to do so.
Motivate Our Minds exists for students like Shelly--students who may fall through the cracks if not supported academically. Because of the generosity of community organizations and individuals, students like Shelly continue to receive support, even when the schools are forced to close, so they can continue to grow and thrive during a crisis.
