“August is academically gifted with an insatiable passion for learning and a truly incredible work ethic,” said Cheryl O’Donoghue, CEO at Aspire2STEAM.org. “Never idle, August is a person who is constantly striving, while caring for family and triumphing over hardships.”
August is also grateful and quick to acknowledge others for their kindness and support. “I have my parents who were willing to put education above all else, even in our darkest times when the cable would not turn on or when some bills were put off,” said August. “I have teachers who have helped further my learning, setting me up for success. I have many people who propel me further in my dream of becoming a psychiatrist and reaching the black, LGBTQ+, and poorer communities wherever I live one day.”
