Denise Tillery: Riverbank teen highlights a path to success
Re “Riverbank teen has the write stuff in essay contest” (Page C1, April 14): Great story! Kayla Savory, only 15, is a leader among teens.
With so many teens with more advantages getting themselves into trouble, Kayla's story is an inspiration and a guide to all teens to a certain path to success. Whatever talent – writing, math, art, sports or even a military career – put your best foot forward and apply yourself. Set goals! Look for mentors to help you or just ask for help. Congrats to Kayla and all those who will be her successors!
Denise M. Tillery, Turlock
