Featuring Future Leaders: Meet Isaiah & Kourtney

Meet Isaiah

Can you tell us a little about yourself? I am Isaiah, and I am a preteen. I live with both my parents and four siblings. I am in the 7th grade. I attend church regularly and I admire our pastor. The position I play on my Varsity Pee Wee football team is defensive tackle. I am also on a track team and the events I do are javelin, shot put and 1500 meters. Since the age of two, I have enjoyed these sports.

What is your favorite subject in school and why? My favorite subject is writing. It can help me reveal how I am feeling, and it helps me give more information to the people who are reading my writing.

How has M.A.S.T.R. Kids helped you? M.A.S.T.R. Kids has helped me learn new things in math and music. Mrs. Pitts and Ms. Sneed are enthusiastic about teaching ELA.

What career options do you think would be interesting to learn more about? Snake catching is a career that interests me. I would like to learn more about being a biologist and zoologist as well as learn how to preach the word of God.

What’s a fun thing about you or about M.A.S.T.R. Kids that you’d like to share? M.A.S.T.R. Kids is a great program that helps kids with their school work and other problems.

An original poem

They say that identity is ‘the fact of being who or what a person or thing is’, but to me it’s different. To me identity is what you are and what you are going to be.

Most people like to linger on the past and that can make a person belligerent. But I feel as if we have to move past that so the people can see.

So the people can see the person you are in the moment of time. So that person wouldn’t feel like they are talking to a two-way mirror. So the person who judges you will base it on your now so it won’t feel like a crime.

Then when you are judged it won’t be crazy or wild, but right so that the moment will be clearer. So when you get older, life won’t be like a blooper.

You will take yourself with pride and go farther and further and once you are through you will leave your mark.

Identity, ‘the fact of being who or what a person or thing is’, but it’s not. To be identifies you have to know yourself, before others know you.

So for me my identity would be a leaf rushing through a raging sea. Just trying to make it by and make it to the top, but cutting too short to make the job.
