Joe Zito, a professional in the copier/printing business, spoke with the students this Friday. Joe talked about how to be successful no matter where you come from. Donald, a senior, wrote about how inspiring Joe was. “Mr. Joe is such an amazing person. He gave us a great conversation that I will remember forever. I am so glad we got that chance to meet and talk with a person as good as he is. When he asked me what I was thinking about achieving, I was thinking about having a family that loves and respects me as I would them, and a nice living area with a job that pays well. I feel like I have a mindset that is close to Mr. Joe’s because the things and topics he was talking about had an immediate impact on me. I really hope that we create a relationship with Mr. Joe so he can come around more.”...

Have you ever thought much about the spaces in which you learn and work? Architect David Gaudreau certainly has. David has helped design projects for many schools and colleges in the area, including Calvert Hall and Morgan State University. He spoke with the students about the process behind an architecture project and different types of architecture. “This conversation brought a new possible career path that I want to look into. I like building and creating things so everything he described had my attention. I liked hearing the process of what goes into creating buildings. I also found it interesting how he described a solution to the pole matched up pretty close to what I was thinking of. Then finally I learned how curved drywall is laid down, that was really cool,” said 9th grader Jacob. “I loved today’s conversation with Mr. David Gaudreau. He talked a ton about what he does as an architect, what he helped design and build, his family business, and taught us a thing or two on the Architecture field. What was also good was that we learned about his favorite designs and projects he worked on. We would love to see him come back soon and possibly help us build a recording studio in the future. He has definitely persuaded me to work in some part of the architectural field while in the engineering field as well,” Sean, a junior, said about the discussion....

We were honored to welcome back former TCS teacher Dr. Genira Nelson today.  She presented her research about women and economics in South Africa to the students today. Dr. Nelson has a degree from Morgan State University and obtained her doctorate from Howard University. The presentation was about her research on South African women’s jobs. Ninth grader Ronan said, “The conversation with Ms. Genira was amazing because I didn’t know that much about South Africa until she came and talked about people's lives and what women do for a living. I also liked the ending because it got tied into our current events class, with how we can make the world a better place. I loved also meeting and learning about Ms. Genira and her life, because she told us to be ourselves and to have drive which is a big part of the school.” Everyone enjoyed having "Ms. Genira" back at the school and look forward to seeing her again soon....

Librarian, storyteller and Director of the Growing Griots program Mr. Bunjo Butler showcased his oral storytelling ability for the students with tales of his experience with racism growing up and his time in the army, and gave advice to the students. “I enjoyed today’s conversation with Mr. Bunjo Butler. He talked about his story ad his life and what he does now. He talked about how African-Americans were mistreated in society and while overseas in the army. He talked about where he grew up in Baltimore and what he had to go through in his community. The way he talked about his daughter and how he was worried about her in the army was powerful, and he kept speaking about it. Hopefully we can hear from him again soon.” Sean, 11th grade. He gave me insight on a lot of things that I should do with my career when I get older and how to approach my career in the future. I appreciated that he told us real life events, and how it had impacted him. He gave me a lot of wisdom and I am going to use this information moving forward in my life. He also taught me that I needed to learn more about my culture and that’s what I intend on doing.” Tyleiah, 10th grade....

Theater is the art of bringing a story to life, and the students experienced this first-hand today as they attended the first show of the year for Center Stage today, the musical Fun Home. The students were able to see a little of the behind-the-scenes of Center Stage as well. The musical was adapted from a graphic novel of the same name by Alison Bechdel. A coming-of age story about a young lesbian in a dysfunctional family, Fun Home does not shy away from heavier themes like coming-out and suicide. Fun Home’s stage version tells the story through vignettes of Bechdel’s memories, with a separate actress for young Alison, medium Alison and adult Alison, who watches the memories unfold as she works on writing her novel. The musical’s unique storytelling method was captivating and emotionally moving. “I really enjoyed the play. It was very inspiring and I was so happy that I was given this opportunity. The play’s theme was having courage I think because the play pretty much revolved around having courage and caring about each other. I liked how the play showed the hardship while also showing how a family is meant to work together. I loved the play and it was an amazing play to see for my first time seeing a major production. I feel like all the characters were accurately displayed and displayed in ways that really contributed to the storyline. I think that the amount of work that was put in behind the scenes was incredible and I can’t imagine what it takes to hold a play...
