Bowie's Ambassador
This young lady is our student ambassador. The Dean of Admissions gave us our tour this time. A basketball team from Russia was there to scrimmage with the Bowie their basketball team so the Dean had to give us the tour.
Bowie State
Good morning. We had a long night last night. We are now beginng our tour at Bowie State University.
Out for Dinner
We usually try to take our students out to a big dinner at night. One of the things about our college tours are we eat well. We are pictured here at UNO's restaurant.
The First Sermon
This young lady is not only a member of our group, but my church sister. Alexis is a people person, loving everyone she comes in contact with. One thing that sticks out is her spiritality. She is very active in our church serving in many ministries. This young lady has done mission work in China and will minister to anyone she meets. I always tell her I can't wait to see her first sermon. She is doing well in school scoring a 3.3 on her last report card. She is a junior in private school and always has a smile on her face. The young man with her is a student at Hampton University and a former member of our church. We ran into him while touring Hampton's campus.
One-on-One
Ladies and Gentlemen introducing Shanel. She is a junior at Vallejo High School. She is a starting point guard for the girls varsity basketball team and an honor student. Shanel thinks she can beat me in basketball. You know I should not discourage the young lady, so I just let her think she could. That's the kind of person I am. Her quick wit has made this trip very enjoyable.
Take that to the bank
Here is Rico. This young man is a senior on a mission to hit the world. He plans to go to city college in San Francisco and transfer to the Academy of Art. He wants to major in Fashion Marketing. Rico is involved in many organizations and is a part of his community. One thing that sticks out about Rico is that he is a dependable person. If he tells you something you can take it to the bank. This young man has great promise. I am very excited to see this man about four years from now.
CSI
This young lady is Shairee. This is her second tour. Shairee has been a member of the club for as long as I can remember. She wants to follow in her sister's footsteps and major in criminal forensics. This is a funny young lady and a pleasure to work with. I have been working with her since she was a sixth grader in middle school. She has became close with all of us at the Boys and Girls Club.
Virginia State
We are with our student ambassador. This young man has started his business on campus. He is a very successful young man. He spoke with the members, telling them that he was the type of high school student that got into trouble, but was able to turn his life around.
