THE CHRONICLE
Eight Winston-Salem
Preparatory Academy stu
dents were lauded for their
literary skills Tuesday, during
a luncheon hosted by the
Winston-Salem Bar
Association at the Piedmont
Club in the BB&T building
downtown .
David Bishop, Aizah
Crawley, Jarelis Ivette Cruz,
Sanimi Drawdy, Latoia
Hawkins, Briyona Morris,
Rajil Patel and Jasmine
Robbson were selected as
winners of the Association's
essay contest on the topic of
mentoring from a pool of 42
WSPA entrants.
"I'm drawn to strong
minded people that influence
me in a positive way," wrote
senior Jasmine Robbson.
Robbson, 19, an aspiring
nurse, listed her mother, who
went back to school while
Judge Hartsfield presents David Bishop with a check from WSBA member Cecil Summers.
Robbson was growing up,
among her top role models.
"She has shown me if I
want to better myself, a good
education will allow me to do
that," Robbson said.
The contest, now in its
second year, is the result of
an ongoing partnership
between the Association, and
the school, which serves a
predominantly African
American population of stu
dents in grades 6-12 and
boasts the highest graduation
rate in the county. District
Court Judge Denise
Hartsfield said the event was
a show of support for the
winners, each of whom
received a $I(X) award from
an attorney or firm.
"We want you to see that
what you want to he you can
become, because there are
people who are here, and they
have already blazed the way
for you," she told the stu
dents.
Principal Richard Watts
said he is excited about the
partnership and the opportu
nities it has afforded his stu
dents. The collaboration also
included a summer shadow
ing program with WSBA
members last year. Having
the chance to interact with
such an accomplished seg
ment of the African American
community encourages the
students to dream big. he
said.
The partnership was the
brainchild of Hartsfield and
WSBA member A. Stanley
