Impact Story
“Donors have made it possible for me to attend Friends Seminary. I promise to (in good Friends Seminary fashion) strive to bring about the world that ought to be... There are many other kids who have the same potential as me or any other kid graduating here with me today, but the difference lies in that we were given this opportunity—the opportunity to go to an independent school called Friends Seminary where people care about our well-being, our intellectual and social success. The difference lies in who gets the opportunity. An opportunity is a privilege. I want to thank everyone who has ever given me an opportunity, and I hope to one day be in a position of influence where I can grant opportunities to those who are often overlooked.” — Christian Hoyos ’13
