Community Christmas

Marc's Story

The earliest memory Marc Boursiquot had after emigrating from Haiti at age eight was walking to Washington Shores Elementary in Frontline’s neighborhood and seeing teenagers standing on a corner not going to school. In Haiti education is a privilege with a cost whereas in the United States it is free. Marc’s drive to excel was born on that day.
He graduated from Maynard Evans High in the Microelectronic Engineering Magnet Program, as member of over nine organizations including Senior Class Historian with many honors. It was in high school he joined the Urban All American Leadership Institute at Frontline. This May, Marc completed his Bachelor’s Degree in Anthropology at the University of Florida.

Scholarships from supporters like you at Frontline via the Orlando Learning Coalition were critical to his completion. Remembering his early days in the U.S. Marc says, “Me and my brothers motivated and encouraged ourselves by saying, “I do not want to end up like those teenagers on the corner. I have been blessed to be where I am. The donors and supporters at Frontline Outreach have been a blessing and a part of my life for seven years.”
