Not only did Shaq complete volunteer work throughout the club and working with other youth, he began coordinating a dance program with students preparing music and dance routines for talent shows. Shaq plans to complete his GED, enroll in college, and work toward a career in music, dance, and the arts.
Shaq talks about his hero and how Boys & Girls Club has helped:
"My hero is my deceased step father Leon Morgan who died when I was 6 years old. He helped me through so many issues I was going through when I was younger and made me who I am today. He inspired to me to dance and started teaching me how when I was three years old. After he died, I felt lost and alone with no one to talk to. That is when I found the Boys & Girls Club. The staff helped me through those years when no one else was there. They helped when I had school problems or just everyday problems. They support my love of dance and gave me a new Laptop Computer to help me learn more about my passion for Music and Dance"
