We hope you’re having an amazing summer so far!
We want to share an incredible story with you about Zack who started attending Firewall in 7th grade.
During High School, he began to struggle in his classes and received D’s and F’s. His Firewall mentor, Taylor, was there to tutor him and keep him focused on his work.
At the end of his 10th grade year, he ran into Firewall to show Taylor he had brought up his grades to A’s and B’s!
‘I remember getting tears in my eyes because we genuinely connected and I was so proud of him. We had worked so hard,’ said Taylor.
Zack will be a senior this upcoming school year and we are excited to see him continue to excel!
