I visited with Andre today before he left for the Boys and Girls Club (BGCA). Tracy Crawford is an excellent foster parent. Andre attends BGCA five days a week where he not only enjoys his favorite sport, basketball; in addition to learning socialization skills. Andre is earning an allowance by performing chores, which are switched weekly. He says he is saving to buy that phone that I have been advocating for, since January.

He attended Kathryn’s “Nothing About Us Without Us,” workshop which he says he enjoyed. Andre is attending Summer Camp from June 25 through July 1, and he is excited. Tracy says

Meet my Jazz band. This is a picture of us in New Orleans my junior year during spring break to play Jazz.

I raced home from practice, my sweat sticking to the car leather seats, music blasting, and the wind in my hair. I had the future on my mind: playoffs, graduation, summer, and college.

Introduction The film Carrie (Brian De Palma, 1976) follows the protagonist Carrie White, Sissy Spacek, who is a shy high school student residing in a small town.
