HOWDY PEOPLE OF ST. ANNES, MOMENCE, and GRANT PARK 👋🏼. PLEASE SHARE TO LET THE COMMUNITY KNOW!!

It is with a heavy heart for me to say but my time here in Illinois is over 🥲. I have finished my summer internship with Southwestern Advantage, and I am now heading back home to Georgia as the school year starts back up. To every single person’s door that I approached/knocked on 🚪, I am deeply grateful for that encounter. Whether it was a slammed door, a quick no, a pulled weapon even sometimes 😂, spending time with me, or investing into some of the books and apps 📚📲. Whatever it was I want to really thank you. I believe that every encounter I got It was supposed to be. One thing I learned is that God isn’t always going to give me what I want, but every single time he’s going to give me what I need 🙏. To all the waters, foods and snacks, advice and just help that people have given me along the way, I’m grateful for it all 🧎‍♂️‍➡️. Most importantly to all the Parents and Grandparents that did invest into the kids education 📚📲, not only were you only helping your kids, but also in me because this is how I’m paying my way through college 🎓! To all the memories of a kid from Atlanta, Georgia out here in Kankakee, Illinois, it’s been a journey and you all are what made it a great summer! Feel free to contact me anytime. ✨

YoursTruly,

Luis The Education Man Duran
