Student of the Month - March 2008 |
More Than Just a New Beginning at Rawhide |  My name is Morgan and I am 16 years old. I am from Milwaukee County and have been at Rawhide for three months. In my spare time I enjoy playing basketball and boxing at gyms around Milwaukee. Making people laugh and helping out those in need is something that is enjoyable for me.
Rawhide’s Work Experience Program is one of the many things that brings me fulfillment. This is because we help people in the community, and I am giving rather than receiving. My About Face project coordinator, Major O’Brien, and field trainer, Captain Guerin, are easy to work with and are able to make a day of hard work fun. They inspire me to do well and get a job when I return to the community.
A couple who I would like to give special thanks to is my brother, Tremaine Walker, and his wife, Melissa (whom I am proud to call my sister). They have been with me since the beginning, showing and giving me love and support. I would also like to thank Coach CJ, Coach Scott, and Coach Andy for helping me develop mental toughness and encouraging me to do my best.
Thanks to everyone both at Rawhide and out in the community that keep me going.
