Why save my peers and I a spot in college? Every student is like a piece of art. Right now we are basic colors. We don't have much shape, we are just a simple sketch, drawn with paper and pencil. As we progress through middle school we gain vibrant colors. A sketch drawn on plain paper becomes a painting on a canvas. Its shape and texture starts to flourish.

Soon high school will approach, we will learn more and become more. Our painting would redefine itself., it's showing freedom and creativity. We're changing to a better person with maturity and wisdom. NOW WE NEED YOUR HELP! If you save us a spot in college we can become a masterpiece in the museum of life. We can share our beauty and creativity with the world! The color of college is the only color we are missing. You can be the artist that makes our hopes and dreams come true. So please, save us a spot in college!
