So, I've had a rough couple of days...there has been people teasing me behind my back, talking about how I can't sing and that I should never sing in public again. When I heard that, I came home and cried to my mom. I was so heart broken because words do hurt. I never make fun of anyone and I'm nice to everyone I talk to. It just hurt me to know that people were saying such hateful things behind my back. I started questioning my talent, but my mom and my friends knocked it right out of my head.… Continue

I'm not going to say how much they are worth (I'm a little modest), but they are going to help loads! I never thought that my good work in HS would pay off so much. These scholarships makes it seem like the heads of Albright want me to attend their school so much. It's overwhelming. I can't wait until August 2009! April Continue

Tomorrow, at 12pm noon, we will be able to call Barack Obama, President Obama! It's so exciting! My mom has 7 tickets to see him be sworn into office. She is also volunteering, so she'll be busy tomorrow with all that stuff. My sister is going with her and I'm going to school, but I'm going to find a TV and watch it. It's so amazing that after years of oppression of the African American race, after years of bigotry that we, yes Americans, have voted a black man to lead our country. At the momen… Continue

Ok, so the game started like an half hour ago, and the Ravens are not playing right. I live in Baltimore and you know I'm cheering on my home team. It got me thinking about when I go to Albright in the fall. Will I get ridiculed for being a Ravens fan in a Steelers town? lol! We'll see. Go Ravens! Continue

So I just wanted to update you guys. My GEM (Girls Empowerment Mission)-- a group I'm in at school-- leader got me an Albright shirt for an early Christmas present. Since it's a little big, I'm using it as a night shirt. Anyway, I got a Christmas/Holiday card from Albright and I was excited about it. Then I opened it and was in shock; my Admissions Counselor, Courtney Moser, actually wrote a little note in it and signed it herself. I KNOW that Albright is the college for me. The people are so n… Continue

Ok, so I got into this fabulous school! I'm so excited! Here's how I found out: The bell had rung for 4th period (the last one of the day) I'm walking down the hallway, my teacher for 4th period comes up to me and is like "So April, are you excited about performing tonight?" I answer yes. (I did awesome!! I'll post the video later). So he walks his separate way to the classroom, where I would shortly see him. Anyway, I cut through the library to get to class, it's less traffic that way. I stop… Continue

Hey Chesapeake AVID students, it’s April here with summer happenings and the latest Disney news. So over the summer I had a great opportunity, from GEM (Girls Empowerment Mission), to attend a ten day sailing camp aboard The Lady Maryland. We got to camp out in the woods (eek!) and in cabins and in general it was very fun. But the highlight of the camp was the male crew member, and in particular a Nick Jonas look-alike named Jimmy. He had the hair, the face, the everything. The girls went crazy… Continue
