Part of WSKG’s American Graduate initiative, the “Who’s Your Champion” program asked soon-to-be graduates to describe that one special person who most influenced their decision to stick with school and graduate. The result is a series of heart-felt vignettes and poems that lend insight into what it’s like to be a young person in these times and how the support from a single loved one can be the difference between success and failure.
