Methodist Children’s Home will have eight graduates this month
from the University of Texas – University Charter School on the Waco
campus. These graduates are from the
Waco campus and Boys Ranch. The
Waxahachie campus will have two graduates.
We caught up with Ian, a senior from the Boys Ranch, to find
out more.
Q: How do you feel about graduating?
A: I am a little nervous but ready. When I first arrived at the Ranch I really
needed to get back on track with my schoolwork.
I have had a lot of support from the Ranch staff to get more motivated
and now I will be graduating.
Q: What are your plans for the future?
A: I will move into the MCH Independent Living house and
attend Texas State Technical College. I will study diesel mechanics and
continue to work at a local automotive supply store. I am glad I still have
support from MCH.
Q: What is one of your best memories from the Boys Ranch?
A: It was during my first summer here. I was in a drum class that Mr. Dishman
taught. I had been playing drums for
about seven years. He was going to be
out for a week and he gave me the opportunity to teach the class while he was
out. I felt so responsible and trusted. I also had a blast being able to teach
a peer to play drums. He eventually
played in the Praise Band with us. I
really did appreciate that opportunity.
