I wasn’t really nervous about anything. I was just excited to start my classes.  I am taking three courses — English, Philosophy, and Algebra. My algebra class doesn’t start until September 8th though.  So far I like my class schedule and waiting to see how algebra turns out.  I have always been interested in philosophy.  I often think about questions that people don’t think to ask on a daily basis.  It’s really fun to me.  In English we will be reading the novel the Secret Life of Bees, and plus a novel of our choice which I haven’t chosen yet.  So my classes are interesting and the teachers seem laid back.  I liked them.  I have a couple hours in between classes so I don’t have to rush anywhere.  In high school, we only got three minutes in between classes and everything was rushed.  Another difference is that you have to pay for everything in college, like books, breakfast and lunch.  That was all free in high school.  But thanks to all of you helping me, I’m worrying about this semester less than I thought I would have to.

Thank you so much.

It seems like everyone has been touched by the story of friendship and determination that these two young men displayed on and off the wrestling mat. So a group of “friends” (we didn’t know each other before the story aired) decided to launch a trust fund and an accompanying website to continue to support Dartanyon and Leroy and share news, updates and information.

If you wish to contribute you may do so at http://carryon.eventbrite.com. If nothing else please share this story with family and friends. We hope it inspires more acts of kindness and charity around the world.

Sincerely,

The Carry On Trust For Education Family
