Tammy's Visit to Westside Academy

Way back in the middle of October, in my last week at Westside Academy, Tammy and her photographer Mark came to talk to the AVID class about their jobs. A part of the AVID curriculum is college and career prep, so this is something they like to do. Tammy was happy to come. Boy, I threatened the heck out of those kids to behave. It mostly worked :) Tammy had the students who wanted to role play photographer, anchor and reporter. Andrew wanted to be the camera man! Tammy looks like a serious reporter here with Kaltuma and Nastasia (she was one of my favorites). They told me that Tammy "talked and dressed like me". Thought it was pretty funny! Raysan wanted to pose special for me :) This is the kid whose house burnt down last year I mentioned before. Natiqua and Destiny. They both really liked me and Natiqua may have been my favorite. Destiny was amazing because one minute she was normal and the next, her temper got her dragged out of a couple of classrooms...! (Not mine :) Tyler and Raysan with Mark. Tyler is one of those white kids that speaks PERFECT ghetto ;0) Made my teacher pose. Tammy's talked to my college kids and been a counselor at Camp Good Days. She always is happy to get involved with whatever kids I happen to be working with. The students LOVED her! Thanks Tammy!

  1. I'm glad I could make it a little interactive, versus having them sit and listen to me go on and on. Only older people stay interested in what I have to say. LOL. Did you tell them that you dress and talk like me?
