“The reason I want to #ReachHigher is so that later on in life I will be able to reach down and encourage others to reach higher and help people see that the sky isn't the limit.” —Devon Fredrick from Chicago, Illinois. Early on Devon thought the ultimate goal was to graduate high school, that was the top. One day he realized that he didn't want to be sitting on his parents porch at 21 years old like the other kids in the neighborhood, he needed to aim higher. Devon came to the @WhiteHouse for the First Lady's Beating The Odds summit, where he got to share his story on how he overcame obstacles to graduate high school and continue on to college.
