Angel's Work

  choice of anyone in the world, whom would you want as a dinner guest? I would have Dr. James P. Comer as a dinner guest Dr. James P. Comer is a professor of Child Psychiatry at Yale University School of Medicine and a co-founder of the Black Psychiatrists of America. The work he has done to improve the academic performance of children makes me venerate him. I am interested in psychiatry, and the education reform he has done has benefited society. At dinner, I would ask him about the Comer Method, and what his life as a child psychiatrist has been like, and I would recount the stories about my volunteer experiences.

Music that I have on repeat over and over makes me lip-sync. I skip some songs that I don't want to hear, which wastes time because I...

I had only ever run in the gym, so I was new to the sport. I was in the group of distance runners and hurdlers. I quickly started to love hurdles.

My father was always trying to get my sister and me to play tennis because he thought we would be good at it. Te...
