Pay It Forward Say Scholarship Speakers
The annual Scholarship Luncheon on Thursday, April 6 in Paterakis Hall
featured
alumni speaker Josh Jones-Dilworth ’98 and student speaker Ethan R. ’17 who
both touched on the importance of “paying it forward.” More than 150 Upper
School scholarship students joined an equal number of sponsors and mentors to
celebrate and recognize McDonogh’s commitment to the time-honored
scholarship program.
Headmaster Charlie Britton began the program saying, “The generosity of
John
McDonogh is why we exist, and the generosity of the donors in this room and
those who came before you is why we continue to prosper. It’s why we are able
to offer life-altering opportunities to amazing students who exhibit tremendous
promise. The circle is completed when those students go out into the world,
armed and ‘LifeReady’ with what it takes ‘to do the greatest possible amount of
good.’”
Alumni speaker Jones-Dilworth, a member of the marketing team who introduced the world to Siri, the very first
voice assistant for a smartphone, spoke about the value of scholarship and the
importance of starting at the bottom and working your way up. Today he is the
CEO of a boutique consultancy in Austin, Texas. In his remarks he spoke about
the importance of paying it forward. Recently, Jones-Dilworth and his wife
established a McDonogh scholarship in his mother’s name.
Student speaker Ethan R. echoed Jones-Dilworth’s sentiments on
“paying it
forward” as he expressed his gratitude for his McDonogh education. He spoke
about the lessons he learned throughout his McDonogh career and most recently
as a leader of the robotics team. At the end of his talk, Ethan, a world-class
juggler who says he’s also known on campus as “that juggling guy,”
demonstrated his skills by juggling balls and swords.
