Watching the San Diego State Aztecs dominate Hawaii 55-0 after tailgating was a perfect way to celebrate the 2016-2017 SDSU homecoming . The young men participating in the H.E.A.R.T. mentoring program were truly in for a treat on this early Saturday evening. The victory in front of an announced crowd of 41,761 at Qualcomm Stadium showed flashes of how good the team could become.
The same could be said of the young men of H.E.A.R.T. of which young men with unlimited potential will come together and devote themselves towards aspirations of a higher education. Many of these young men could “fall through the cracks” due to lack of resources and/or opportunities afforded in the public education system. What we address are the other needs that young men need to make better decisions, learn to be goal oriented as well as focus on character development. Julien Moore would later say ““It’s nice to experience extraordinary things and have fun and just enjoy life after a long days work.” arriving shortly after completing his SAT Test earlier that day.
The exciting piece is that this was a complete effort as families came together in an opportunity to get to know each other better. There is nothing more critical than the support of family within Blue Heart and on this day many parents took the time to build a stronger more supportive familial bond.
This is an exciting time in these young men’s lives and we are looking forward to watching and tracking the growth of these 25 young men as they work to achieve success together. Be sure to watch their growth and cheer them on as they strive to reach their potential and beyond. Kaori McGowan summed the day up perfectly ” I had an absolutely amazing time hanging with my fellow brothers of blue heart this weekend at the SDSU game , it is the fun activities like this that bring us together as one big family.”
