Lunch with Chicago Bear Harold Jones-Quartey

Recently, the Concept Alumni Association and two lucky students from Horizon Science Academy McKinley Park had the unique experience of having lunch with a current Chicago Bear, who happens to one of our very own alumni!

Harold Jones-Quartey, a graduate of HSA Columbus High School, recently signed a 3-year contract with the Chicago Bears. At the busy start of his first NFL season, Harold  took the time to meet Mariah Flores (9th Grade), Christen Cabrera (10th Grade), and Concept Schools educators for lunch on September 18, 2015 in Chicago.

It was an exhilarating moment for the students and staff to be able to meet him and hear about his recent accomplishment and hopes for the season. Harold is a very passionate, hard-working young man who has strong work ethics and character. It was inspiring to hear his professional perspective on how set goals and achieve them.

A recurring theme throughout lunch was Harold’s advice to never give up on your dreams and that success is all about your mind set. He stressed the importance of keeping a positive attitude through adversity and giving people a chance to try to reach their dreams.

We got our footballs autographed and sealed the day with a group picture. We’ll all be watching Harold this season and thank him for providing inspiration for our current students and alumni.
