Despite personal tragedy, this young man persevered in Urban League's program

That's Lakewood High School junior Jared Young on the left in the photo. He's an athlete and a scholar and he's part of the Pinellas County Urban League's Summer Training in Youth Leadership & Employment or S.T.Y.L.E. program this year. His mom died this summer. Still he persevered and completed the program. His story is one of the poignant vignettes in The Weekly Challenger's report on Urban League program. Sympathy and all the best to Jared and his fellow students. And bravo to Allen Buchanan for telling the story.
