Fairview Alternative high school graduation!

Compassion Ministries presented two $500 scholarships for post-secondary studies to graduates at Fairview Alternative High School. Building on his organizational and writing skills, Giovanni Burch will attend Alabama State University, majoring in marketing. Reflecting her passion for others, Alexandra Guadalupe Romero-Landavere will attend Normandale Community College to begin an RN program followed by a bachelor’s degree in nursing. Photos: Bonnie Koch and Gio, and Anita Mayfield and Lupe.
Lupe has always had a heart and passion for helping others. Growing up she walked along her siblings as they went through health challenges; her empathy and intelligence will be put to use as she attends Normandale Community College for her RN and then transfers to finish a bachelors in nursing. Her teacher shared that “despite the adversity she has experienced, she is a very kind student, willing to work with anyone, willing to help anyone who is stuck, and do so without complaint.”
Gio is described by his teachers as highly organized, determined and growth oriented. This growth mindset has helped him to overcome many challenges along the way during his school career. He is a writer and his ability to tell stories, his connection with family, and his desire to keep learning and growing motivate him as he looks ahead to his future. Gio plans to attend Alabama State University and major in marketing.
