Zorian Flowers, senior at Back of the Yards High School, has achieved a goal he has been working on for the past four years. We’re so proud of you! We can’t wait to see where you go and what you accomplish!
Sitting upright with perfect posture in his living room sofa chair, Back of the Yards College Prep (BOYCP) Senior Zorian Flowers described how, like many before him, a book helped shape and inspire his future. Flowers, 17, was recently accepted into the prestigious United States Military Academy known as West Point. He credits Battle Dress, a novel about a female cadet’s experience at West Point on his decision to apply.
“After reading that book, I just knew that it was somewhere I wanted to go and ever since then, I’ve been pursuing a route to West Point,” Flowers said.
Flowers’ family has lived in their Back of the Yards home since 1989 his grandmother Mildred Bunch said, as she sat gracefully across from her grandson.
For the young Back of the Yards resident, getting accepted to West Point has been something he has worked diligently to attain for the past four years. His achievement was realized Saturday, Feb. 4, 2017 when he received his letter of acceptance to West Point.
“When I first received my acceptance [letter] it made me feel like the four years that I put into it were worth it, all the long nights and everything I did…standard school-until 7 or 9 o’clock, not getting out of sports until that late and staying up and doing homework until about 12 or 1 a.m. It made me feel like all of that was worth it. And that the hard work eventually pays off,” Flowers said.
Awesome!
