In the Spotlight
"Anthony"
Anthony is 17 years old and is currently a seni
or a
t
Lawndale
High School. Some of his hobbies include
playing video game
s
and basketball. Anthony also enjoys watching movies with his parents, and playing with his do
gs Rock and Duke. When Anthony started to attend Mychal's
Learning Place he seemed very nervous not knowing anyone. He then qu
ickly became active and involved in acti
vities such as cooki
ng and dance and started to come out of his shell. Two activities that continue to support Anthony is working out with "Bino" from Healthy Giving and art class with Amy of Splatters Murals.
Anthony has many good friends such as Victor, Haronie, Andrew and Berenice and has become more comfortable and talkative as well as expresses his feelings and excitements aloud without any hesitation. In the years to come, Anthony wants to continue to develop working on himself to someday become a great man...and we have no doubts that he will achieve this!
