LEUP 37 Aldonte: Dream Big/ Chase Your Passion/ Expanding My Sneaker Program/ Get Free Shoes
He's aiming to expand his summer program, Good Grades Equals Custom Sneakers, by reaching more students through schools and districts. Inspired by a similar program in Chicago, he envisions motivating students with the reward of custom sneakers for academic excellence. Aiming for year 30 and beyond! Beware those who claim to be 'realistic.' What's impossible for them might be your future. Protect your dreams and put in the work to make them a reality. Your potential is limitless. Imagine: someone offers free shoes for good grades. Showing up, working hard—it changes everything. The goal? Turn year three into year thirty and beyond, hiring more artists along the way.
