Hey! My name is Charles Stevenson.  I graduated from Lusher Charter School in 2016.  I will be attending Pearl River Communite College this January.   I have always struggled in school and hated to read because it was so difficult.  Thanks to my teachers, I graduated from Lusher, one of the top high schools in the country, even though I was two grades behind.  I really want to continue my education, but as I was raised by my grandmother from the age of seven, I don't have the financial means to go to Pearl River, so I'm raising money for my college tuition, books, and housing.  I want to get away from the things that have often caused me to make the wrong choices and get to pursue my passion to play college football.  I am the first high school graduate in my family and I want to be the first college graduate.   If I could do this, I would make everyone that cares about me so proud, including my grandmother, my old teachers Ms. Gruenig, and Ms, Richardson, and all my other teachers at Lusher Charter School.  I would be so thankful for any financial help anyone could donate.
