To all,
Thank you so much for your responses to my request for your
advice and the stories about your individual paths. They
helped change a young mans life. This community I find
myself in is really quite amazing.
I have good news. The young man in question has decided to
apply to the 2+2 program at Vermont Technical College and
UVM. He plans to apply this year and defer admission for a
year and work on a farm before attending school.
He had at first resisted his teacher�s urging as all he
wanted was to get out of high school and earn some money.
This high lights his next hurdle as he comes from quite a
poor background. Fortunately the State of Vermont has
available several 4-year scholarships to Vermont students
who plan to stay in Vermont and dairy. We hope he will
qualify for one of these scholarships.
I must give all of the credit to his French teacher who
shares with me a love of oxen for recognizing this boy�s
potential and her continuing work to help him realize it.
Thank you for all your support.
Sincerely
Will Brooks
