SPECIAL TO
THE CHRONICLE
On Friday March
20, the Leadership
Academy of Main Street
Academy and Branded for
Knowledge hosted a pro
gram with guest speaker
Judge Glenda Hatchett, of
the "Judge Hatchett Show"
With guest attendees from
Carver High. Judge
Hatchett encouraged the
girls to dream and put forth
the work to accomplish
those dreams. She shared
history of her obstacles
while on her journey. She
conveyed there were
"haters," but the way to get
them off of her was to ful
fill her dream.
Judge Hatchett
organized the girls in
groups based on their
dream choices. She
believes that having sup
port gives yofi strength.
The girls were instructed to
call each other by their
titles instead of their
names. This helps to keep
their dreams alive.
Hatchett's conver
sation was direct. "Nobody
dreams of being a drug
dealer or a pimp. Keeping
your dreams in front of you
motivates you to work hard
toward achievement."
Tawnee Smith,
President of Leadership
Council at Main Street
Academy said, "Knowing
someone of Judge
Hatchett's stature has made
mistakes makes me feel
less stressed about my mis
takes. She was transparent
with us." Tawnee also
believes she can overcome
her obstacles and achieve
her dreams.
Prasyla Martinez,
Leadership Secretary said
that she felt a connection
with the other students.
"We all have different situ
ations, as females, we
should empathize with
each other and not hate on
one another."
Branded for
