READY FOR SUCCESS!

Romeikus Moore, City Arts & Technology High School
College: California State University, San Francisco

Romeikus is City Arts & Tech’s 2017 winner of the Bob Lenz “PDO” Scholarship.

In his College Success Portfolio, Romeikus announced that he is “ready for success!”  And his four years at CAT demonstrate how he got there.  While in high school, Romeikus faced significant personal and academic struggles, and he emerged as an independent thinker with a high GPA.  He heads to college as someone who challenges stereotypes, speaks out against injustice, and expresses himself creatively.  He also served as an Envision Student Ambassador and was a member of CAT’s Leadership Class.

Outside of school and on weekends, Romeikus expresses his creativity as part of the dance troupe “Culture Shock,” where he is the first and only dancer to be on both the kids’ team and the adult team at the same time.  

Romeikus earned acceptances to several CSUs and private colleges, and decided to bring his talents to San Francisco State University this Fall, where he will major in social work and minor in dance.  We can’t wait to follow his story, and watch him achieve his lifelong dream of dancing for Missy Elliott and becoming a social worker to serve his community and beyond.

 

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.
