David's next step

by Susan Palmes-Dennis

A member of the Filipino-American Youth group of the Filipino-American Community of the Carolinas Inc. (FACC) graduated from Rocky River High School last January 30.

David Glass, who turns 18 years old on June 16 this year, plans to take up Radiologic Technology at Carolinas Health Science. His class commencement exercises was held at Bojangles Coliseum.

David is the son of Michael Glass and Evelyn Espada Glass and is an A student who is part of the school's National Honor Society. He has 30 credits which is sufficient to qualify him as a mid-year graduate.

David's mom Evelyn, who hails from Iligan City, said he is the youngest of the family and has a good sense of humor.

“He likes to joke around. If I am upset he can make me laugh. He is a sweet boy, calm and collected. His laughter is contagious and he is the clown of the family,” she said.

David is the youngest of the two Glass boys, with big brother Andrew at 23 years of age. 

Their father Michael hails from Syracuse, New York. David has a sweet tooth and likes the Filipino powdered milk treat polvoron.

He also loves Mexican food, pizza, buffalo wings and spicy chips. David loves Marvel comic book characters like Spider-Man, Iron Man and Captain America as well as cars, soccer and video games.

As a Filipino-American Youth, David volunteered at Lola's Closet according to its founder Mark Hernandez, also a past FACC president. It's this willingness to serve that makes David's family and friends like Greg Armstrong proud of him.

Congratulations David on your graduation and make you prosper in your next journey in life. (For questions and comments please email me at susanap.dennis@yahoo.com or follow me on Instagram at carolina1girl)
