One Student’s Dream To Be Belton High School Mascot Fulfilled With Help

All of us have a dream that we wish to fulfill in life. It could be something important that we've always wanted to do, or a small thing that might seem meaningless to one person, but the world to another. For a Central Texas teen, a dream that would be rather difficult to do for them was made possible with a little help.

Yaitzaelys Gomez And Her Dream To Be Tigo The Tiger

For Yaitzaelys Gomez, her dream was very simple. She wanted to be Tigo the Tiger, the mascot for Belton High School. But for Gomez, being blind definitely hampered that ability to do so. Gomez would need help to be the mascot, just to be able to get around.

Yaitzaelys Gomez Gets Help From Sue-Ellen Grant At Belton High

Sue-Ellen Grant, according to KWTX, is a senior mascot for the school. When Grant learned of Gomez's wishes, she assisted her during the Night of Champions celebration. With Gomez donning the iconic suit, Grant led her everywhere.

For Sue-Ellen, it's more about being a good example, rather than personal accolades. Sue-Ellen told KWTX: "I’m also down for being a positive influence on growing tigers so if I’m able to make somebody’s dream come true let’s do it.”

Way to go to both Yaitzaelys Gomez and Sue-Ellen Grant!
