Goals & Aspirations: “For now, I would like to graduate high school with scholar honors and a top 10 class ranking, and also get accepted to USC for the study of international business. One day I would like to have a positive impact on the development and overall distribution of vehicles fueled by alternative energy sources.”
Accomplishments Most Proud Of: “I am very proud of maintaining a 3.75 GPA (un-weighted) through all of high school; it took a lot of hard work and dedication. I am also proud of working full time every summer since 8th grade in order to save up for my car.”
Alex Looks Up To: “I look up to my father because he started his career without help from anyone. He worked his way from the bottom to the top of his business and became one of the most successful business owners I’ve ever met.”
Alex is Stronger and Wiser Because: “The loss of my mother when I was in the seventh grade was the largest obstacle in my life; but it has helped me to become closer to my family and become a much stronger person. The lesson learned from the experience is that every day is a gift, so don’t dwell in the past; be thankful for the present and look forward. Take risks and learn from your mistakes.”
I know this family and they are very giving and loving to everyone they know and associate with. What is missing in this story is the amazing committment their new mother, Lorie Forman, has made to raise the kids after their mothers passing. Lorie took over that role unselfishly and without any reservations.
I have known the family for years and Alex is a great kid with a strong family structure around him. Don is a caring father and Lorie should be commended for the outstanding job she does!
