"I have many, many hard days, but I keep my smile on my face, because I don’t want other people to feel down … I put that smile on my face and make others happy.”
Celebrating Terrell Pollard, '20
On Thursday, June 18, 2020, Central Catholic held a private commencement ceremony for Terrell Pollard, ’20, and his close friends, family and teachers.
Terrell is battling an aggressive form of brain cancer called Glioblastoma. At the time of publication, Terrell has stopped his chemotherapy treatments due to complications, and his current focus is on enjoying life and spending time with family.
Terrell is passionate about cooking and was admitted to his dream school, the Culinary Institute of America. Although going away for school is on hold, Terrell remains joyful and is focused on cooking as a hobby and spreading joy wherever we can.
“I am happy to be a part of this Brotherhood,” said Terrell during his commencement speech. “I know that people say that I help them a lot - that’s through God, but you help me a lot too ...I have many, many hard days, but I keep my smile on my face, because I don’t want other people to feel down … I put that smile on my face and make others happy.”
