Naje: SEED Gave Me the Opportunity to Achieve My Goals
Naje, age 11, has this to say about the SEED program:
“Have you ever just sat back one day and thought about what you want to be when you became an adult or what you want to do when you’re an adult to make this ludicrous world a better place?
“Before I joined the SEED program, I was just an 11-year-old fifth grader, soon to be sixth grader. But unlike half of the rest of the 11-year-old fifth graders, I had a vision for my future. My vision is to finish high school and go on to college and become a successful African-American female. I had the vision but not a clear path to get there.
“Now, with my SEED savings account, I have the vision and a way of getting there.”
