UESL CLIENT: THOMAS

“I am just really happy with life right now, maybe the happiest I have ever been. I think being part of a community of people that support me and want to do the things that I love with me has changed my life. Being able to be a part of the Unified Esports League and make friends through this program has made me want to pursue other things in life. One of my dreams has always been to be a streamer online, I am playing music more often, and working at our church helping with the A/ V and lights. I am just really happy to be here.”

CLIENT’S GUARDIAN:

“My son, Thomas Parks, is an active participant in UESL’s Gaming and Technology Program. We are grateful for the influence that it has had on Thomas's life, and are excited to see the progress that he has made. We have noticed that Thomas wakes up every morning and cannot wait to get to his UESL program to learn how to incorporate his passion for editing and music into reality. This program also helps with Thomas’ memory, multitasking and decision making.”
