Something that takes years to stick to and dwell upon can end in a matter of minutes. It's certainly no different for the simple act of cutting hair. Yes, simple. But this act is practically life changing. A Vanguard Student decided it was finally time to make the big step. Marisa Sneider said, "I couldn't believe Robert cut it. I was expecting him to keep it."
The first thing that comes to mind when you think of Vanguard senior Robert Struggles is definitely his hair. Waist length, Robert started growing it out around the time he was introduced to Vanguard. "His hair was awesome," said Priscilla Guadarrama.
Robert donated his hair to Locks of Love. Locks of Love is a non-profit organization that gives minors the opportunity to receive hair, via selfless donors. These minors have various conditions that cause hair loss such as cancer. "By donating your hair it gives the kids a newly found confidence that is priceless," says Jackie Cimarusti.
"I guess we give gravity to something so important, something that's a part of someone. It's a major act of self-sacrifice. Robert cutting his hair was like cutting the cord," Natalie DeMeo explained.
Tom Krause once said, "Getting what you want is not nearly as important as giving what you have." I couldn't have said it better.
Thank you Robert Struggles for your generosity that is sure to inspire others.
