Brandon monson

As a straight, nonmember of the GSA at Hunter High, I can tell you . . . I would not want to live in a community without a GSA.

I didn't have as much influence as everyone thinks. Brandon's success is a product of Bobby Freund. I'm only along for the ride and did what I could. I told Brandon what to look for and what to focus on, and he did a good job staying focused on taking care of one match at a time.

Brandon and his family rightfully have been waiting for positive feedback from the NCAA Clearinghouse concerning his eligibility. We received information from the Clearinghouse today, and Brandon is eligible to pursue a college career this academic year.

Fear shoves you from behind; love beckons you forward.

If we can do that, we're going to be successful.
