Grade 8 student Tristan S. shared the final assembly speech of the school year on theme “Reflection and Growth.”
Inspired by his volunteer work with the organization Hang Time, he shared how meeting individuals reentering society after incarceration opened his eyes to the challenges many face—including limited access to books. Motivated to make a difference, he organized a book drive to help provide reading materials to the participants of Hang Time.
His story is a reminder that growth happens when we reflect on our experiences and use them to serve others.
