Meet Robert Cain Jr.
Robert Cain Jr. is Kiski’s 3rd CSA Award winner since the organization’s inception. Robert Jr. is from Pittsburgh Pennsylvania and grew up in the town called Wilkinsburg. Upon learning of Robert Jr. being a CSA Award winner, Kiski shared with founder Major Canady that he (Cain Jr.) from a very young age always knew he wanted to attend Kiski once he got to 9th grade. See below Robert Jr.’s thoughts on his time at Kiski:
“The Kiski School, it was the greatest experience of my life and I made true brothers there. The people and the things that I did at Kiski helped shape the projection that I hope for myself in the future. With the roles, places it’s taken me, and things learned, Kiski has helped me set up my life.”
As for many others, Kiski’s impact did not stop there! Here, Robert Jr. played four years of varsity basketball which afforded him the opportunity to continue his basketball journey at the college level while focusing on building a professional career to transition into once his playing days are over. We got a chance to ask Robert Jr. where he would be attending for college and why this choice:
“I chose Hamilton because of the great environment on campus and the basketball team that goes with the great academic institution. I plan to major in economics and also look into government and philosophy. I am choosing this path because I look to be a lawyer or work my way up to a CEO of a company one day.”
As with most college students, there are feelings of excitement along with nerves and fear of the unknown:
“I hope to continue to keep my basketball game at a high level and earn my degree. I look to find the best way to set myself up for success and I plan to be open to any opportunities. I’m looking forward to finding people with the same drive as me and who want to work just as hard as me so we can push each other. I’m most nervous about things not going as I hope but even with that I still believe in myself to figure things out.”
CSA lastly asked Robert Jr. is there something in particular he wants the audience to know about him. See his response below:
“I am mostly a self-driven person but when I’m able to work with people that have similar values and drives as me, I feel that anything in the world is possible.”
Please wish Robert the best of luck as he embarks on the best chapter of his life yet. Great luck Robert, we are rooting for you here at CSA!
