I want my son to have a better education than I did.  Emy

 

Education has always been a very big part of our lives… We invest a lot of time and energy in partnering with our teachers and participating in school activities. We like our children to grow spiritually as well as academically.  We strongly believe that our children will develop into successful men and women in an environment reinforces the values and principles that we teach at home.Monica

 

I feel that the method used is academically outstandingat the school we chose.  The school will provide a very nurturing environment for our son.  I would like for my child to get the best education possible an education suited to her learning needs.  Ammathyst

 

Having a choice in my daughter's education makes me feel that  I am  giving her the best.  As a parent naturally we want the best for our children.  Thank you for helping us give her  the best education.Tracy

 

My wife and I have always put our children's education  first priority in our lives.  Since the options in our opinion are limited at our neighborhood school for a good quality education our choice is to move them to a school of our choosing: we will sacrifice now to provide for their future.Phillip

 

I've notice the frustration of the teachers who are so focused on teaching to the test that they are failing to show compassion and help each child learn in their own  manner.  I have decided that I would do whatever I had to in order to ensure that my children have the best chance of succeeding.  I will  give them the foundation to grow into a happy, healthy adults.  Caroline

 

The possibility of giving my child the best education available means so much to me…especially an education that supports our beliefs. I am a 21 year old parent trying to make it on my own.  Ann

 

I took my daughter out of public school because she was feeling a lot of pressure and negative influencesto do the wrong things.  She was getting into trouble and was very depressed. The new school environment we chose has helped  tremendously with her self esteem and is helping her to make good choices.Syreeta

 

Raising children can be  compared to battle…and it has become apparent to me that we all need allies. Our children need to have peers and teachers to prepare them for life.  As a parent it is my duty to train my children into well rounded adults.  My child’s education is a priority, thank you for helping make a good educational choice possible.  Ivan

 

It’s important to me to lay a strong educational foundationfor my child's future that would not be available in the public school in our neighborhood. Veronica

 

As a single mom I want my son to get an education that is an extension of the values that I teach at home... without his father in the picture he needs all the nurturing and guidance that a small school can provide...Dawn

 

My son's education is very important to me...my child attends a private school where he is challenged more and has developed a strong sense of self-esteem and independence...Mary

 

Abby is very shy and gets overwhelmed easily...she does better in a smaller class...Sean

 

Children and parents at the school of our choice are a better influence... on each other and my child has a better chance at succeeding towards his goals...James

 

We strongly believe that by us being more involved choosing our son's school and with the support of our private school my son will have more opportunities to succeed in life and be a better citizen and human being...Alan

 

I began to see a change and he has excelled from a failing grade in public school...to an average of around 85. His behavior and attitude towards school is positive and he is a much happier little boy. As a grandparent parenting and now a widow on a limited income, I do not have the resources to pay for the full tuition...Deborah

 

The public school that my daughter would have to attend is not up to state standards...and after talking with parents that have children there I see that this public school is NOT for my child...Rose

 

There is much violence in our public school...and I would like to send my child to a safe school...Vincente

 

It was my choice to have kids... so why shouldn't it be my choice to have a better education for my children...Rolanda

 

When she first began at her new school our daughter rarely felt comfortable speaking up. Now I am told by her teachers that she raises her hand to make an educated guess...Aleah

 

I am really lucky, and now I am taking advantage of my studies....I have never had a scholarship, I am really lucky and I am taking advantage of my studies now, it has really help me.  I want to thank you all for giving me a scholarship, I really appreciate it very much....Nalleli

 

 

              

 

 

I'm getting more attention...Being who I am and where I come from, I was not getting the education I deserve.  I'm getting more attention from my teachers so I can't fool around!  Something I've always dreamed of is to get a good education and to make the most of my life, Austin CEO Foundation has helped me so much, I want to thank you for taking time to help me and others...Chris

 

We don't want our kids to just get by like we did...Thank you Austin CEO Foundation for helping us to provide better for our four kids.  We live on the East side in Austin, and we just got by in school, but were not ready to go on to college.  I graduated on good behavior, not good grades...I didn't even do homework. Our Austin CEO scholarship allows our kids to attend a school of our choice, were we and the kids are held to a higher standard.  Please help other kids to get a good education in a safe place. Arthur and Michelle

 

 

Better Opportunities...I came to this new school for better opportunities because I was not used to big crowds in high school and the violence there.  With the smaller class sizes and the nice teachers I enjoy school so much more than the other school....I want to thank you for giving me a scholarship....Kathleen  

 

Now I know how hard it is to get a good job...I appreciate the CEO scholarship because I now know how hard it is to get a good education and a good job.  I appreciate all the help I have gotten from CEO and my scholarship means a lot to me because I can now study and complete my goals as a student.  I can't thank CEO enough for helping me.   Eligia

 

Many thanks to you....I am attending a new school and many thanks to you, I enjoy our school extra-curricular activities and school environment so much...my parents are divorced, and I would not have had this opportunity if not for the scholarship.    Gladys

 

I enjoy this school so much...Thank you for giving me a scholarship, without you I would not be in this school....I enjoy this school so much, I have really learned a lot...Salena 

Thank you for giving me a scholarship to make my wish come true, this scholarship has provided me with an opportunity to attend the school of my choice, and this would not be possible for me without your help...my parents and I could not do this without your help.  Laura

I love my classes and my teachers are the best, I never imagined a school like this existed...I feel very secure.  The CEO Foundation has made an enormous difference in my life, not a thousand words are enough to thank you...Andrea
