What is the best way to continue the legacy of Bill Ward?

To carry on the legacy of Bill Ward is to try to make a difference in everything we do. This means using the powers and resources of our jobs to help people. This means giving back to our community through volunteering where our talents may benefit others. And, perhaps most importantly, it means making a difference at home by instilling in our children an ethic of responsibility and public service. This is Bill Ward's lasting legacy, and it's our collective responsibility to carry it forward.

believed, however, that "whatever one's doubts, one must act as if one can make a difference." The Ward Fellowship Program is dedicated to this principle. Since 1986, several hundred Boston Latin School juniors and seniors have worked as Ward Fellows for the Governor, the Mayor of the City of Boston, and the many other state, local, and federal officials. These officials have generously provided extraordinary opportunities to the Fel- lows and, in the process, have often been reminded of the youthful ideals and aspirations which attracted them to public service. Every summer the Fellows as a group have also met with each of the sponsors, and with others actively con- cerned with the quality of public life in our community.

At the same time, they learned quite a bit I am convinced that the Fellows have beamed valuable lessons, which will endure about Massachusetts government and the legislative process, by attending occasional Senate throughout their lifetime. All of the Fellows, in their own way, subscribe to Bill Ward's sessions and other meetings and by participating in frequent State House intern seminars.

"Working in the Mayor's Office with Martha Pierce brought a lot of things together for me. The summer taught me more lessons than I can describe here, including great pride to be a Bos- tonian, great admiration for public servants of all kinds, and an understanding of how motivated and passionate individuals DO change the world, everyday." —Jesse Southwick, WF '94 . BLS Physics teacher

"My experience made me realize that public service would take the form of acting as a change agent in our schools. I am now graduating with my master's degree in education to work in schools where students and their experience in schools will be different because of my profession. I might even consider running for school committee in my town. I guess I've come full circle!" —Michelle Gallant Smith, WF '95 Former director of BLS Saturday Success School

"The Fellowship has left an indelible mark on my heart for service to the people. It certainly gave me the experience that led me to have an overwhelming desire to serve our cities' most vul- nerable: public school children." —Rashaun Martin WF '96 (Paul Cellucci) BLS History teacher

"My experience with the Ward Fellowship instilled in me the importance of being an active citizen in every aspect of life. In my career as a business strategy consultant, I have applied the skills I developed in the private sector to work with a variety of non-profit clients focused in the education and youth services sectors." —Nancy Poon WF '96, (Senate President Burmingham) Consultant
