A Winning Attitude

kevin-and-mr-revelesKevin is a fourth grader at Peters Colony Elementary in The Colony, TX. He has been participating in the CIS program for three years, and his great attitude reflects the spirit of our program.

Kevin is originally from Central America and is currently living with his guardian. He struggled at the beginning of his school enrollment with a new language and getting used to his new home and family. However, he has been able to adapt and has made so much progress academically and socially. He takes every opportunity to learn and enjoys learning.

This is the second year that Kevin will be meeting with his mentor and that has helped him grow and made him more confident. Ruben Reveles, Kevin’s mentor, has been able to help him with reading and teaching him how to play chess. Kevin enjoys looking at maps and learning about fossils and animals in general, and his favorite activity is to play chess with Mr. Reveles.

I admire Kevin for his efforts and winning attitude. I know he will go far and succeed in life!
