Looking back at the time he has spent in the P4K Elementary Program at King Elementary, Deddrick says he has learned a lot about goal-setting. “Setting goals can help more kids have a brighter future,” he says. As a current middle school student, he has already mapped out his goals for his bright future. “I’m going to graduate and then go on to a trade school to become a mechanic,” Deddrick says matter-of-factly.
Although he says he has worked really hard to achieve his past goals, he credits a great support system for encouraging him to keep going towards the gold. “I want to thank my mom for caring, and Captain Bell for helping the school, and I really want to thank Miss Treat and Miss Lemon for believing in me.”
