Winslow Student Inspires Success

Here's a great story by Arizona Journal Reporter Linda Kor about Rio Salado student Shawn Lee, who had an opportunity to meet with Bill Gates in November.

Lee has become a great source of inspiration for us. We encourage you to read this story and to watch this video profile produced by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation so you understand what we mean:

"I believe that anyone can succeed, no matter your age, no matter where you come from. First you have to make the decision and know that every day you are striving for something better for your family and your children.” -- Shawn Lee
