THIS GRAD IS ALL ABOUT COMMUNITY

Lizett Delgado, Envision Academy
College: California State University, Chico

Lizett is Envision Academy’s 2017 winner of the Bob Lenz “PDO” Scholarship.

For the past four years at Envision Academy, each day meant some new crazy patterned socks, or some new fashion forward style, rocked by Lizett Delgado.

But that’s not what makes her stand out.  What really distinguishes Lizett is the way she embodies our core value of COMMUNITY.  She’s kind, thoughtful, committed to the success of those around her, and selfless.  She works relentlessly, but somehow makes it look effortless.  Those who know her, though, know that her accomplishments have taken a lot perseverance and determination.  Her hard work has paid off: her College Success Portfolio defense showcased her deep academic knowledge, her powers of reflection, and her strong sense of self. 

She is headed to Cal State University, Chico this Fall — and we know she is destined for great things.  We expect to see her name in some Pixar credits in the future, and we look forward to celebrating even more of her accomplishments!

 

ABOUT THE BOB LENZ “PDO” SCHOLARSHIP
The Bob Lenz PDO Scholarship award of $1000 is given each year to one graduating senior from each school site who exemplifies the Calvin Coolidge phrase: “Persistence and Determination alone are Omnipotent (PDO).”  Erin Brockovich made these words her motto in her successful campaign to expose toxic water tables in the Central Valley.  Bob and his Envision co-founders adopted the motto as well, applying it to Envision’s tireless work to help students develop the persistence and determination to succeed in college. Each of our award-winning students:

 

  • Has gone through significant hardship and persisted through adversity;
  • Has been accepted to and plans to attend a 4-year university or college.
