Kendall Giambo, our bowler extraordinaire, began taking math and writing classes with us in April 2011. Since then, we have come to know him as a man who has lived much more than his twenty-six years would impress.
Kendall was born and raised in Weiser, ID, and since he was in high school, has worked full time and supported himself financially. At seventeen, he joined the fire department, and at not long after he joined both the police force and the military.
Now that he is back from Iraq, Kendall spends his time bowling competitively (he owns not one but three balls) and cruising at 45mph down dirt roads on his four-wheeler with his wife.
In class, Kendall has really come into his own. When he first started our program, he was quiet and unsure of things. Now, after twelve weeks, Kendall not only tells stories about his tattoos,
but is a member of the only math class to ever ask Linda for extra homework.
Because he has done so much, Kendall is keeping his eyes and his opportunities open. This fall, he plans to attend Boise State where he may study either criminal justice, history, or a combination of the two. He has also recently become a proud father of a beautiful baby boy named Logan.
