Ridge Service Ambassadors for Youth award. Matiok Mathiang is a 9th 
grader at Jefferson High School and received this award because his 
determination and hard work have allowed him to overcome adversities.
   The dedication demonstrated by Matiok Mathiang is exemplary of the 
type of achievement that can be attained with hard work and 
perseverance. It is essential students at all levels strive to make the 
most of their education and develop a work ethic which will guide them

doubt he will exhibit the same dedication and character in all of his 
future accomplishments.
