Imagine this!


Realizing that you aspire to attend college, you find yourself in the B-Street Community Center looking to speak with someone at Lewiston Adult Education. You want to sign up for their College Transition Program so that soon, attending college won't just be an aspiration but a reality. As you find yourself in this building, you accidentally stumble across activity already taking place. This activity is of course, Empower Lewiston's Blog-O-Thon. So now you're being approached and invited into the computer lab to join the festivities and even create a blog of your own. So, accidentally, you have become a participant, brought in by your goal to become further educated.


Paint the picture for yourself, because it gets even better... imagine that after all of this, you walk out with a brand new computer that you have just won from entering the drawing being offered from Empower Lewiston for participating in their day of blogging.


Well, this is the story of Hassan Shaleh. He fell upon us at the Blog-O-Thon with enthusiasm of learning something new and we were happy to have him. Hassan built his own blog that he can now share his own stories on from his own home with his brand new computer! Congratulations Hassan and Good Luck!
