Congratulations Zamarion!

Zamarion Isley joined the AAMI when he was only a second grader at Wiley elementary. From the time we met him, he enjoyed the unrelenting love of his mother Ms. Shamir Booker. His first mentor through the AAMI was his teacher Ms. Stephanie Jefferies. Not only did Ms. Jeffries serve as his teacher and mentor, but she also volunteered with the AAMI summer camp that Zamarion participated in every summer. When Ms. Jeffries took a job in Alamance County, Zamarion received a mentor by the name of Mr. George Byrd. Zamarion returned to school many Monday mornings sharing the adventures he had on Mr. Byrd’s farm. Zamarion loved riding along with Mr. Byrd in his tractor. As a high school student, Zamarion’s mentor was Mr. Henry Salers. Among other things; they enjoyed attending athletic events, exercising and playing pickle ball. Zamarion was a picture of resilience and personified the award of “kept coming back” award. After Zamarion failed and repeated an academic year, he did not allow that to derail him from reaching his goal of someday graduating from high school. Congratulations Zamarion Isley! We're #AllinforKids!!!
