Support the future of Th ornton Academy “ When one gets older there is a thought process, which asks the question of giving back to the most important infl uences in one’s life. I had a degree of success in my life and in one form or another I wished to pay back the someone or something that helped me. Th e fi rst and foremost reason was my mom. She struggled to bring me to the United States and worked hard to raise and educate me and I cannot overestimate how strongly she felt about education so I could have opportunities in the future. Th e fi rst non-family infl uence was the Saco school system. What I remember most was my four years at Th ornton Academy. I may not have been the best student, but I absorbed so much from my teachers. I found that lessons I learned were invaluable to me in the future. Th e friends that I made have been enduring throughout the decades and continue this very moment. I learned so much more than I can express. Giving to the 1811 Society was an easy decision and one I will continue to honor in the coming years."
