"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."
