Today, we highlight our final Earl Woods Scholar speech from the Tiger Woods Foundation’s Winter Workshop. Time and again, we are reminded that it’s our scholars and students — these resilient kids who overcome the mightiest of obstacles — that are our truest inspirations.
Today, we highlight our final Earl Woods Scholar speech from the Tiger Woods Foundation’s Winter Workshop. Time and again, we are reminded that it’s our scholars and students — these resilient kids who overcome the mightiest of obstacles — that are our truest inspirations.
With candor and heart, our Earl Woods Scholar Jamal Adan speaks to the hardships his parents faced fleeing war-torn Somalia. Born in a refugee camp in Kenya, Jamal, a soon-to-be Boston University graduate majoring in international relations and concentrating in security and foreign policy, is a living testament to the power of perseverance and the resilience of the human spirit.
As he recounts in his moving speech, 21 years ago while living in a refugee camp, his parents never would have thought their son would someday graduate from a prestigious college in America. With graduation just a few months away, Jamal stands proudly as an example to his peers, younger siblings, community and to us all.
Champions of the unexpected.
