N’dea Nassor, Envision Academy
College:
N’Dea is Envision Academy’s 2019 winner of the Bob Lenz “PDO” Scholarship.
“Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.” Several Panthers come to mind when I think of these words, but one, in particular, exemplifies this idea every day: N’Dea Nassor. She wears her struggles and barriers as a badge of honor and says “Yes, this is what I’m up against. Now watch me win.” Over the course of this year, N’Dea has been faced with even more setbacks both in and out of the classroom. Lesser people would let these setbacks keep them down…but that’s not what Panthers do. She got back up and worked even harder than before. She is the type of student who inspires everyone, both adults and teenagers, to achieve to the best of their ability. It has only been a short time since she’s been a part of our community, but she’s a Panther through and through. We are so proud of her and look forward to hearing about her next adventure!
