Fresh Chalk: Why I Work so Hard

Summary


After careful consideration, I applied to the Masters of Public Administration program at the University of Michigan-Dearborn campus and thankfully my application was approved. I was so happy, as I found myself on the road to becoming an administrator with Detroit Public Schools.

I have wonderful memories of growing up in the Plymouth-Greenfield area, and although there were outbursts of violence surrounding me, that world was left outside my front door. Inside, my family: Mom, Dad, Granny, Aunt Niece and Cousin Meech supported me daily with lessons of love, laughter and faith.
