My name is ENS Dondi West. I am a 24-year-old African American male who is proud to say that I got a Head Start!
I attended Head Start in Selma, AL. I am now a mathematician, and I can honestly say that I developed my love for numbers at Head Start. That is where I first learned to count!!!
I have earned a B.S. degree in Mathematics and Applied Statistics, and I proudly serve my country in the U.S. Navy as a Cryptology Officer.
I just want to say THANK YOU for whoever has sponsored/ continues to sponsor this vital program. At the time I attended Head Start, I am certain that my mother would not have been able to afford sending me to a comparable day-care or child development center.
I have so many memories of Head Start, and words cannot explain how much I owe this program.
Sincerely,
Dondi West
