Best And Brightest: Palmer High Student's Obstacles Are Challenging, Not Limiting

Palmer High School Senior Summer Wilson loves to read and write poetry, fiction and songs. One of her favorite books is "The Glass Castle" by Jeannette Walls. "That book resonated with me intensely. I recognized how similar my family was to the Walls," Summer told her English teacher, Todd Hegert. She has overcome significant obstacles. "I suppose I have always known we were poor, as I have been peeling eviction notices off my front door since I was too small to reach them," Summer said.
