MY REASONS WHY
I am Lili St. Christopher, better known as
Silver Lining Lili.
I founded the College Bound Village (CBV)
Facebook Group on May 3, 2019, as a 46th
birthday gift to myself and to honor my 18
year-old, high school senior, Lorne II.
My family was blessed when our son earned
several scholarships, including a full-ride to
the University of Missouri - St. Louis (UMSL).
He also received the Level 7, Air Force ROTC,
full-tuition scholarship and is currently
majoring in Mechanical Engineering.
Thus, the College Bound Village was born,
because it not only takes a village to raise a
child, it also takes one to find money for
college, locate summer internships and
navigate the FASFA.
My journey continues, as I work with my
daughter, Laila, who is now a high school
freshman. Her goals and dreams are polar
opposite of her brother. However, I am
confident her collegiate path will be
successful with the help of the Village.
HELLO VILLAGE!
The entire process was tedious,
confusing and time consuming. We
spent many late nights trying to figure
things out and which options were the
best fit for Lorne’s secondary education.
Therefore, in an effort to alleviate the
stress and fears for other parents and
aspiring college students, I created a
a space for global knowledge sharing,
and access to college resources and
information.
