Evelyn is currently a senior at Career Regional High School in New Haven. She is also part of New Haven Promise, and will be attending SCSU to being a program in Social Work, or some other youth-related career path.
She credits Daedream for showing her "my passion for helping other and working with younger kids."
But does college entrance always equal good-bye for the Daedream mentors? Now an amazingly cohesive group of hard-working young adults dedicated to the arts and the benefit of the students they mentor, it's hard to imagine that cadre being separated. According to Evelyn,that won't fully happen, as she plans, additional to college sophomore and eldest member, Torey Robinson, to continue working in the program as much as possible during college. On this note, Ben Croll, the Technical Director, is also a college sophomore who returns to assist with the program. The mentors are always welcome to continue working in the program for as long as they choose.
Evelyn has been with Daedream since she was in second grade, taking a one-year hiatus. Since then, she has spent tireless hours working as a participant, performer, and later, Student Administrative Director of the program. This is a ten-year span of time, and of that, she says, "Daedream has been a part of my life for 10 years now . Most people would say wow 10 years? Do you ever get annoyed? No, I haven't, because when you really like something, you put your all into it. It takes dedication and love. Daedream has shown me what a true family is. I love my peers that I work with. Each individual is amazing in their own way. I've also learned how to be responsible in life and how to make wiser decisions."
She also added,"And thank you to Ms. Francis for being such a big support in my life through out the years. I LOVE HER SO MUCH!!"
We will continue to post these notices as they occur! Until then, put on your dancing shoes and stick with us until our next performance slated for June of 2016.
