What an inspirational feature about Mason Fyock! He has a forward-thinking vision and has taken steps to achieve it.
I encountered Mason frequently at Cape Henlopen High School. Each time he enacted a firm handshake, made solid eye contact, engulfed me with an engaging smile and had some positive words of greeting to share. Truly a confident and gifted young man.
To read about what he has already accomplished and understand, in his own words, how he felt about it, is amazing.
The adjectives I would offer to describe Mason are, in no particular order, confident, mature, patriotic, altruistic, giving, authentic, sincere and driven.
The final image I had in my mind was of him happily wrapping gifts for my grandchildren when he was working at Kids’ Ketch before college. This article has given me so much more to add to that.
Mason is a tribute to his family, his school and his community. But mostly, he’s a tribute to himself.
