Achievers Honored Annual gala recognizes high school seniors, businesses and others BY TODD LUCK 1 HE CHRONIC l 1 Graduating high school seniors and busi ness and community leaders were honored May 8 at the Winston Lake Family YMCA's annual Black Achievers Gala at Greater Cleveland Avenue Christian Church. Black Achievers enlists adult profession als to help prepare stu dents for college and plan their careers. Of the 121 students in program, 28 are graduating sen iors. Eight of the seniors were presented with scholarships at the gala. "It helps them have a sense of community," Andrea Hicks, Winston Lake Family YMCA Youth and Family Services director, said of the program "They're able to have adult men tors on site to give them any type of help they need in navigating the college process, helping learn about various careers and those sorts of things." Dominique Hill, a senior at Mt. Tabor High School, received a BB&T scholarship. He said his four years in Black Achievers helped to improve his communi cation skills and credits the program with helping him to get into Hampton University, where he plans to major in either political science, public administration or busi ness and minor in music. "I evolved from freshman year to senior year as a person, and the only way that happened was because Black Achievers helped me out," he said. "I feel 1 am more prepared for col lege than if I wasn't in Black Achievers." Hill is an aspiring politician who hopes to be elected to public office at a young age, like City Council Member Derwin Montgomery, the gala's keynote speaker. 1 Montgomery was a 20 year-old Winston-Salem State University student when he was elected to the City Council in 2009. He told the gala crowd that the black community needs to tell its stories of success in order to inspire young people. "It's because of the people who have done so much before me that I can, at the age of 25, be doing what I'm doing and standing where I'm standing. I have not done this by myself," said See Achievers on B7 1 ^ - H mm i Honorees Cheryl,Lyndsay, Matt Murphy, Denise A. Smith and Sonya Wagstaff. I iT-H ?
