"My name is Xavier A. I go to Chandler High School .... I am writing this letter to you
as a thank you. You said something very simple to me, yet i feel it was a very powerful message that will stick with me for
years. You and I spoke for a few minutes and it was brought up about starting a business. You then pulled a dollar out of
your pocket and stared at me. Now at first i stared at the dollar in confusion, I did not know what you wanted. Then you told
me to ask for the dollar. You said to me, "if you want something... All you need to do is ask. Ask for two!". Well
I still have that dollar, and i do plan on saving it possibly as a sentimental "first dollar made" kind of thing.
For sending me this message I thank you sincerely. " XAVIER A., ARIZONA "Before I had the opportunity to participate in the Maryland Hispanic Youth Symposium to tell
you the truth I was not really thinking about college. I was getting bad grades and I was hanging with the wrong crowd. Then
I met three people that changed my life. They told me to sign up for the Maryland Hispanic Youth Symposium... After going
though the symposium I realized that college is the future of a better life. I have since made a change for the best."
