Editor's Note: By giving donors complete creative control over gifts geared towards high-need K-12 students, The Generation Project hopes to facilitate personal connection between donors and the kids they are helping. As part of that effort, we are letting some of the students that we hope to affect to use this blog to write about their lives, their schools, and anything else they find interesting. Our hope is that, by posting kids' own words, we can give you, the donor, some insight into the interests and passions of the students you would be affecting with your gifts. To highlight the kids' own words, their posts are uncensored and unedited and represent the views of the kids and adolescents that authored them, NOT The Generation Project.
Today we are introducing Rebekah Anthony, a 13-year-old from Detroit, Michigan. Rebekah is our one of two "Garvy Girl" bloggers from Detroit's Marcus Garvey Academy. Read about her counterpart, Jada Wright, here.
Hi everybody!! My name is Rebekah Anthony and I am a 13-year-old girl from Detroit, Michigan. I attend Marcus Garvey Academy and as an 8th grader there, I am so happy to be going to High School next semester!! I mean, I’ve been dreaming about this moment for years and it is finally happening. I’m going to school to become a Physician's Assistant (so be looking out for me if you get sick lol) and I also want to open up my own performing arts school and invest. Ever since I was a little kid I’ve always had an ear for music, a step for dancing, a voice for singing, a weird excitement and interest in blood and the body, and a little change in my piggy bank for investing. These things are truly my passions and I can’t wait to fulfill them. Now as you may know, or if you haven’t you’re going to find out, I am going to be writing new blogs for you all!! I am sooo excited about this and I can’t wait to hear your feedbacks. I mean I’m a very neutral, fun, and laid back person so that is basically what I’ll be writing about. Things that I feel will interest my readers and things that are helpful and important are #1 on my list though lol. But if you have any topics you would like to talk or hear about please feel free to tell me. I would love to hear from you as you hear from me. Well I’m done talking about me. Can’t wait to see your comments. Talk to ya later. MWUAH!! Your Garvey Gurl.
