My goal is to complete my two-year program at Madison College and so I can achieve my dream of becoming a dental hygienist. What activity did Rubin for Kids help you to do? What did you learn from doing it? Rubin for Kids gave me a scholarship to attend Madison College. This taught me to communicate better with others, which helped me a lot with communicating with my teachers. This helped me when I didn’t understand something, and I needed clarification. How has Rubin for Kids helped you to move closer to achieving your dreams and goals? Rubin for Kids helped me move closer to my dreams by giving me money that helped me get started with classes at Madison College. I didn’t have enough money to pay for my first semester of classes, and Rubin for Kids covered this. I just had to pay for my books and notebooks for each of the classes. How would your life be different if Rubin for Kids were never a part of it? I believe that if Rubin for Kids wasn't part of my education, I would have been stuck trying to figure out things by myself. I would not have had any information about how to start off college classes. I would also be struggling financial to pay for my first semester. What is your favorite thing to do outside of work and/or school? My favorite thing to do outside of school and work is going outside and being active. How would you encourage others to achieve their dreams and goals? I would encourage others to achieve their dreams by letting them know that anything is possible if they put their minds to it. Finding a program like Rubin for Kids can really help you get started with the college life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56884308cbced60d3b375706/1530099272306-ZGNONS6NEAT75CPL5OG3/Mariaclara+picture.png Past Awards - MARIAClARA OLIVER Besides going to school, what do you do? Besides school, I work as a full time Resident Care Technician. I provide daily care to individuals who have intellectual disabilities and promote a positive living environment for them. What are your future dreams and goals? I want to continue school and get my Bachelor of Science in Nursing. My goal is to become a psychiatric nurse and help those in need. What activity did Rubin for Kids help you to do? What did you learn from doing it? It helped me attend Madison College and take courses related to the degree I want to pursue. I learned more about psychology and how the body and mind work together. I was also able to learn about social issues and current news and problems. How has Rubin for Kids helped you to move closer to achieving your dreams and goals? It has helped me by providing financial assistance and allowing me to continue with my college education. How would your life be different if Rubin for Kids were never a part of it? I would have not been able to afford school and it would have taken me longer to continue my education. What is your favorite thing to do outside of work and/or school? I like taking pictures. I’ve been doing photography as a hobby for a few years now. I like to show how I see the things around me and how I view life though my pictures. How would you encourage others to achieve their dreams and goals? I would encourage them by being an example and support them in anything they do. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56884308cbced60d3b375706/1530486232211-GBRC7L6FUQ5FD06OONYQ/Pic+of+Vera+Naputi.jpeg Past Awards - VERA NAPUTI What is your current occupation? I teach 6th and 7th grade at Sherman Middle School. I teach English/language arts, social studies, and special education. How did you learn about Rubin for Kids? I have been nominating students for a long time. In 2008 or 2009, my students and I were looking for ways to fund a student service trip to New Orleans. One of the staff members mentioned RFKs to me. My students and I filled out the applications together. RFK helped fund around 30 students to go on the weeklong trip. Ever since, I have been nominating students. Why did you choose to nominate the student(s) that you nominated? Many of the students at Sherman Middle school are on free and reduced lunch and come from low socioeconomic backgrounds. I pick students from this population who have shown that they want to pursue an activity, and who I believe will be dedicated to learning from the experience. Many of the students actually work with me to fill out the nominations. How has/have the Rubin for Kids award affected the student(s) you nominated? How has/have the nomination(s) you’ve made to Rubin for Kids affected you? RFKs has helped many of my students. I have nominated students who received scholarships for art classes, rock climbing club, and field trips. We went on class field trips to the Milwaukee Art Museum, the Shed Aquarium, and the Planetarium. For many of the students this was their first time traveling out of Madison. The students were very appreciative for the learning experiences and grew not only as students, but as members of the community. One student in particular comes to mind. I nominated an 8th grade girl for an art class. RFKs awarded her a scholarship. The artist of the studio liked her energy and work ethic and decided to allow her to volunteer in the studio after her scholarship expired so she could continue to take art classes. She continued taking classes for over a year. The classes were very expensive, and her family would not have been able to afford them. I am very grateful to RFKs for helping my students. Many of the students live lives full of instability and have to overcome numerous struggles at home. The RFK awards give them the ability to participate in something and feel included in the community. This helps the students both academically and socially and helps them to grow as young adults. Would you encourage others to nominate students for Rubin for Kids awards? Why or Why not? I have told several other staff members about RFKs. As I am filing out nominations, I always think about other students who would benefit from the RFKs scholarships. The scholarships really make a difference in students’ lives. What is your favorite thing to do outside of work? I enjoy spending time with my family and being outdoors. One of my hobbies is rock climbing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56884308cbced60d3b375706/1530099266305-JKWWJNPFSIDPWJG1OAWY/Chynna+picture.jpg Past Awards - Chynna McNair Besides going to school, what do you do? I work with kids at MSCR. I help students who struggle in math and literacy and try to find fun ways to help them master the material. What are your future dreams and goals? My goal is to be a successful student, graduate, and get a job that I enjoy. I want to work at a job where I can support kids who struggle and show them that with the right path and mindset you can make it. The quote “choose a job you love, and you’ll never work a day in your life” is 100% possible and is what I hope to achieve. What activity did Rubin for Kids help you to do? What did you learn from doing it? Rubin for Kids gave me a scholarship to attend Madison College. This is helping me pay for classes, which will allow me to reach my goals. How has Rubin for Kids helped you to move closer to achieving your dreams and goals? Rubin for Kids has helped me to continue school. I was worried about the financial aspect of college. Rubin for Kids helped me focus on school and studying instead of working constantly to pay tuition. How would your life be different if Rubin for Kids were never a part of it? If Rubin for Kids never helped me, it would have been difficult for me to continue my education past high school. I would have been stressing a lot over debt. I would be in a completely different and less positive mindset than I am now. What is your favorite thing to do outside of work and/or school? I like to help out with my family. It has been a tough year as my great grandpa moved into my home after my great grandma died. I am trying to help him with this transition and make him as comfortable as possible. How would you encourage others to achieve their dreams and goals? I would tell them to dream big and make little goals along the way to achieve the big dream. Once you get there you’ll never feel a better feeling. No dream is too big! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56884308cbced60d3b375706/1530099267005-X75HFV0OMBOEO3ZAQO5U/Chaya+picture.jpg Past Awards - Chaya Miller Besides going to school, what do you do? I work at a restaurant and babysit. I also pick up shifts at My Escape Mission when I have spare time. What are your future dreams and goals? My ultimate goal is to become a pediatric nurse. I love kids and have always dreamed of becoming a pediatric nurse. To accomplish this goal, I have set smaller goals for myself along the way. I am getting certified as an EMT and hope to get a job as an EMT for this summer. I am also completing my prerequisites at Madison College and I hope to later transfer to a four-year college to complete my degree. What activity did Rubin for Kids help you to do? What did you learn from doing it? Rubin for Kids helped me attend Madison College. I have learned to make use of the resources that are available. For instance, Madison College has a really good writing center which I am taking advantage of to improve my writing. They also have advisors who can help you with whatever you want to do. I am also learning a lot on my classes. How has Rubin for Kids helped you to move closer to achieving your dreams and goals? Rubin for Kids is helping move towards my dream of being a pediatric nurse. I am completing classes at Madison College that I will need for my degree. How would your life be different if Rubin for Kids were never a part of it? If it wasn’t for Rubin for Kids, I would not be attending college. Due to financial strains I was not planning to go past high school with my education. Rubin for Kids allowed me to continue my education and is helping me to follow my dreams. I am extremely grateful for what they have done for me. What is your favorite thing to do outside of work and/or school? Right now, I am very busy with school and work, so I do not have much free time. When I do have more time, I love to travel. I enjoy exploring new places and meeting new people. How would you encourage others to achieve their dreams and goals? I would tell them to make a plan, and see it through. You can do whatever you put your mind to. All you have to do is motivate yourself and keep working towards your goals. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56884308cbced60d3b375706/1530500767674-XE50OEQIJL6XBCJLQ1ZP/Laura+Voegeli+picture.jpeg Past Awards - Laura Voegeli WHAT IS YOUR CURRENT OCCUPATION? I am a third-year law student at the University of Wisconsin Law School. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING TO DO OUTSIDE OF WORK? I love to go alpine skiing with my family and friends. HOW DID YOU LEARN ABOUT RUBIN FOR KIDS? During my senior year of college, I decided I wanted to spend some of my time volunteering. I began searching for organizations that help those in need. I was attracted to RFKs because it rewarded children who were working hard at school, yet often did not have the resources to achieve their goals. Coming from a family of educators, I know that many children want to succeed, but often the circumstances they are born into place numerous barriers in their path to success. HOW DID YOU BECOME A VOLUNTEER? I contacted Barb Rubin and told her that I was very interested in RFK and the work they do. Barb and I talked about projects that would help propel the organization forward. WHAT DO YOU DO AS AN RFK VOLUNTEER? I work on two projects for RFK. My first project is donor recruitment. I go through the numerous thank you notes that students and teachers have written and put them into a scrapbook, so donors can see firsthand how their donations have affected the lives of children in the Madison area. My other project is mentoring students who receive scholarships to attend MATC. Each year I meet with a student and talk to them about their goals, setting up their schedule, and tips to succeed in college. I communicate with the student throughout their first year at MATC to answer any questions they may have and help keep them on track for graduation. HOW HAS YOUR WORK WITH RUBIN FOR KIDS AFFECTED YOU? My work with RFKs has shown me the difference a small donation can make in a child’s life. There are such a variety of scholarships, including dance lessons, money for sports, driver’s education, field trips, and college. These scholarships have improved self-esteem and behavior, and helped the students to feel included in the classroom community. The MATC scholarships have allowed many first-generation college students to pursue their dream careers. WOULD YOU ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO VOLUNTEER FOR RUBIN FOR KIDS? WHY OR WHY NOT? I would definitely encourage others to volunteer with RFKs. I love being able to contribute to an organization that helps the youth in our community and pushes them to achieve their goals. For many children, providing a little help when they are young can keep them in school and away from the juvenile justice system. Many children want to succeed, but they need someone who believes in them. A little help can go a long ways. This is the help that RFKs provides. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56884308cbced60d3b375706/1530500895526-4986J0OX5OYZ3JGVOCVM/Lyja+Miles+picture.jpg Past Awards - Lyja Miles WHAT DO YOU DO FOR A LIVING? I’m currently in the Police Academy with the Madison Police Department as a Madison Police Officer. HOW DID RUBIN FOR KIDS HELP YOU ACHIEVE THAT? RFK helped me by providing me with a scholarship to MATC that helped me transfer credits to Concordia University where I’m obtaining my Bachelor’s Degree in Criminal Justice. Also, they’ve encouraged me and have been a positive influence over the past 11 years. WHAT ARE YOUR FUTURE DREAMS AND GOALS? My passion in life is providing support and guidance for youth. I want to become a neighborhood officer so I can work in one on one settings with children and communities that could use a positive role model who understands their struggles. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING TO DO OUTSIDE OF WORK? I enjoy playing with the kids in the neighborhood (water balloon fights, movies, etc.) I also enjoy spending time with my family, relaxing and watching movies. HOW WOULD YOUR LIFE HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT IF RUBIN FOR KIDS WERE NEVER PART OF IT? The college scholarship allowed me to focus my initial college career instead of focusing on the financial aspect of schooling. This allowed for me to spend more time studying and thinking of how to achieve my career goals. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56884308cbced60d3b375706/1530501033878-1GPHP9JW69LWWN7XG0GW/Jainaba+Joof+picture.jpg Past Awards - Jainba Joof WHAT DO YOU DO FOR A LIVING? Currently, I'm working part time at the North side Willy Street Coop. HOW DID RUBIN FOR KIDS HELP YOU ACHIEVE THAT? Working at Willy Street Coop is not something I want to do for the rest of my life. I have a dream, and my dream is to become an accountant someday which RfK (Rubin for Kids) is helping in pursing my dream by giving me a scholarship to Madison College. WHAT ARE YOUR FUTURE DREAMS AND GOALS? Being an accountant has always been my aspiration which I think is because I love working with numbers. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING TO DO OUTSIDE OF WORK? I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, watching movies and having a good time. I also enjoy doing volunteering services and helping children work on their homework. HOW WOULD YOUR LIFE HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT IF RUBIN FOR KIDS WERE NEVER PART OF IT?

This allowed me spent more time achieving my career goal because Rubin for Kids got my back. Thank you Rubin for Kids. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56884308cbced60d3b375706/1544453781018-7FFHNB28ITQ27MZB5SK5/karolyn.jpg Past Awards - KAROLYN GUERRERO BESIDES GOING TO SCHOOL, WHAT DO YOU DO?

HOW WOULD YOUR LIFE BE DIFFERENT IF RUBIN FOR KIDS WERE NEVER A PART OF IT? IF RUBIN WERE NEVER IN MY LIFE, I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO AFFORD COLLEGE FOR MY OWN. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING TO DO OUTSIDE OF WORK AND / OR SCHOOL? THE FAVORITE THING TO DO OUTSIDE OF WORK AND SCHOOL IS ATTENDING THE “POST 911” PROGRAM BECAUSE I LEARN NEW THINGS, THINGS THAT WILL HELP ME REACT CALM IN CHALLENGING SITUATIONS. HOW WOULD YOU ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO ACHIEVE THEIR DREAMS AND GOALS? I WOULD ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO DO WHATEVER YOUR PASSIONATE ABOUT, LOOK FOR OPPORTUNITIES YOURSELF BECAUSE NO ONE WILL HELP IF YOU DON’T ASK AND NEVER GIVE UP.
