Through years of consistent instruction, enrichment, and care, he built confidence, developed strong foundational skills, and made a smooth transition into middle school. That momentum helped him earn a place at Stuyvesant, one of the most competitive high schools in New York City.
Now a GO Getter intern, Raymond supports younger students at Grace Church School, the very site where he once learned. “There are shy kids like me,” he says. “I try my best to help them feel included because that’s the most important thing.”
GO has helped him grow more patient, more confident, and better prepared for school, leadership, and what comes next.
