Villanova Athletes Mentor Pennsylvania Middle School Students, Inspiring Confidence And Dreams

CBS Philadelphia

Student-athletes at Villanova University are giving back in a powerful way. Through a mentorship program with Radnor Middle School, they're helping young boys gain confidence and see what they're capable of.

One of those students, 13-year-old Jaylen Bostick, said the program changed how he thinks about school and his future.

"I thought I would just go to high school and slack off," Jaylen said. "But now, I'm getting into a lot of honors. My grades are so much better than they were. Going on to high school, I plan to keep these good grades."
