When you’re an athlete, bringing home an Olympic medal is all one wants. It’s a feeling of accomplishment in your sport. However , if that medal is not brought home, it doesn’t mean nothing has been accomplished.. I work at I. S. 49 and your success and determination has been radiating through our building.. You have inspired our students to work toward their dreams. That it’s a matter of ability and integrity, not geography. What you have done on the path to your dream is let others find the path to theirs. Good luck and best wishes on the rest of your journey.
