THE POWER OF PAYCHECK<br />

EZRELLE<br />

ROBBINSDALE ARMSTRONG<br />

HIGH SCHOOL.<br />

INTERN, CARLSON<br />

COMPANIES.<br />

From the moment he<br />

earned an internship,<br />

Ezrelle had plans for his<br />

first paycheck: he wanted<br />

to buy his grandmother<br />

a stove. When his family<br />

hit on hard times, his<br />

grandma welcomed<br />

them into her home.<br />

Now he had a way to<br />

thank her. “She is so<br />

generous, wise, and<br />

loving,” he said. “If it wasn’t<br />

for her, I would not try my<br />

best.” Fittingly, his dream<br />

is to one day become a<br />

philanthropist. “I want to<br />

be there for people who<br />

are going through what<br />

I have been through.”<br />
