A
Hello
and
welcome
to
Avid
Achievers
I
am
your
host
daughter,
Rita
coordinator
of
avid
today
on
Avid
Achievers.
We
are
joined
by
an
avid
alumnus
Rachelle
prevette,
a
2014
graduate
of
Annapolis
High
School
and
a
graduate
of
Hampton
University
and
Georgetown
University.
We
are
also
joined
by
Stephanie
great
one
of
rachelle's
avid
teachers
at
Annapolis
High
thanks
for
joining
us.
Thank
you
for
having
me
Miss
great.
How
long
have
you
been
an
avid
teacher,
I've.
B
I
enjoy
like
working
with
diverse
students,
Annapolis
High
School
is
a
very
diverse
school,
so
just
you
know,
learning
the
different
cultures
and
just
the
family
aspect
of
teaching
Avid
and
just
when
the
kids
come
back
after
they
meet
their
goal
because
a
lot
of
the
students
have
been
in
Avid
since
sixth
grade,
and
so
when
they
meet
their
goal.
Their
ultimate
goal
is
four-year
college
and
when
they
come
back
and
they
talk
to
the
students,
it's
amazing
to
see
the
success
that
they've
had
and
just
the
experiences
that
they've
gone
through.
That's.
A
B
A
C
So
I
mean
I'm
from
born
and
raised
in
Annapolis
Maryland,
so
I
went
through
elementary
middle
school
and
high
school
in
Anne,
Arundel
County
and
my
experience
in
Anne
Arundel
County
Public
Schools
was
great.
You
know,
I
feel
like
Annapolis.
High
was
definitely
like
the
school
for
me,
like
Miss,
great
kind
of
talked
about
I
feel
like
I
was
able
to
excel,
like
I
was
confident
I
felt
like
I.
C
Had
the
support,
I
feel
like
I,
had
the
community
and
behind
me
and
able
to
be
able
to
Excel,
and
you
know,
go
after
everything
that
I
wanted
to
do,
and
so
I
definitely
like
I,
don't
have
anything
bad
to
say
like
it
was
definitely
a
good
experience
when
I
was
here.
You
know
throughout
my
high
school
and
middle
school
elementary
school
years,
good.
A
Great,
and
were
you
in
Avid
in
middle
school,
or
did
you
start
in
high
school.
C
Was
pretty
easy,
going
I
feel
like
I
had
to
support
like
Miss
great
and
at
the
time
Miss
Spencer
was
there,
and
so
they
literally
prepared
us
so
well
like
making
sure
you
know
they
read
over
our
application.
They
knew
us
so
well,
so
it
was
like
easy
for
them
to
help
us
find
stories
to
tell
in
our
essays,
and
so
you
know,
having
someone
read
over
it
multiple
drafts
to
make
sure
it
was
perfect.
C
Having
someone
to
like
help,
you
find
scholarships
which
helped
me
tremendously
my
freshman
year
and
also
just
having
like
the
support
like
people
who
are
like
well.
I
could
see
you
do
this.
You
know
they
kind
of
helped
me
get
into
my
career.
Help
me
choose
my
career,
okay
in
high
school
and
so
I
credit
evid
for
getting
me
to
where
I
am
today,
because
they
were
literally
like
my
mom's
at
school.
A
B
My
gosh,
they
motivate
each
other
so
well.
Sometimes
the
application
process
can
be
daunting
and
they
get
down.
You
know
on
themselves
a
little
bit,
but
they
they
tend
to
bring
themselves.
You
know
up
and
come
on.
You
can
do
this,
let's
get
it
done.
You
know,
and
just
having
deadlines
and
holding
each
other
accountable
was
very
helpful
too
because
they
were
like
I
said
they
were
like
family.
You
know
so
one's
down
you
gotta
gotta,
bring
them
back
up.
B
A
A
C
I
both
of
my
parents
attended,
historically
black
colleges
and
universities,
and
so
from
as
long
as
I
can
remember.
I
had
always
gone
back
to
like
homecoming
and
got
to
like
experience
that
culture,
so
I
fell
in
love
with
the
HBCU
when
I
was
a
child
and
so
I,
just
always
kind
of
knew
like
that
felt
like
home
to
me
being
able
to
be
surrounded
by
black
Excellence.
C
Sometimes
it's
hard
when
you're
like
in
a
even
though
you
know,
Annapolis
High
School
was
very
diverse,
sometimes
like
the
classes
that
you're
in
might
not
be
so
when
I
was
in
like
AP
classes
or
maybe
like
honors
courses
a
lot
of
times.
I
might
be
one
of
two
black
students,
and
so
knowing
that,
like
I,
can
get
four
years
of
being
surrounded
by
other
black
Excellence
was
like.
Oh,
this
is
a
no-brainer
like
I.
Just
always
knew
it
I,
of
course
applied
for
other
schools,
but
every
time
I
went
on
a
college
tour.
A
And
that's
one
thing
that
I
hear
from
a
lot
of
students:
it's
that
culture,
it's
that
feeling
of
being
on
campus
there's
a
lot
of
traditions
that
you
saw
as
a
child
and
probably
thought
you
know:
okay,
when
I
go
to
college.
This
is
what
it's
going
to
be
exactly
so.
That's
awesome,
I
really
love
that.
C
So
Hampton
is
located
in
Hampton
Virginia,
not
too
far
from
Norfolk
State,
and
so
it
is
in,
like
the
suburbs.
I
feel
like
there's
not
like
a
whole
bunch
to
do
around
it,
but
you're
so
involved
in
campus
life.
I
feel
like
you,
don't
really
need
to
venture
off
as
much,
but
it's
definitely
like
a
lot
of
different.
You
know
majors
and
organizations
that
you
can
pretty
much
like
explore.
I
know,
most
of
our
popular
majors
are
like
the
five-year
MBA
program
for
business
students.
A
lot
of
people
go
through
that
program.
C
A
lot
of
the
science
Majors
so
like
marine
biology,
biochemistry
those
are
very
popular.
The
journalism
program
is
pretty
big.
Like
journalism,
Communications
public
relations
has
grown,
and
so
those
are
like
some
of
the
more
popular
Majors.
It's
a
fairly
small
school
like
less
than
4
000
students.
So
by
the
time
you
graduate
you've,
probably
seen
you
know
your
class
like
you
know,
everybody
and
you've
probably
seen
majority
of
the
students
on
the
campus.
C
So
so
it
is
more
so,
like
I
said,
the
family
oriented
same
thing
like
a
lot
of
your
professors
or
the
minorities.
So
it's
like,
they
look
like
you,
can
tell
they're
invested
in
you.
They
support
you.
They
want
you
to
do
your
best
and
so
to
me
it
feels
like
a
family
away
from
home
like
they
are,
they
make
sure
they
check
in
and
make
sure
your
grades.
Are
you
know,
okay
and
like
you
have
like
freshmen,
you
have
curfews,
so
it
still
feels
like
you're,
not
just
thrown
out
to
the
Wolves.
C
I
did
a
lot
more
so
like
with
my
career
goals
like
radio,
we
had
a
television
show
called
whov
TV,
so
like
doing
sideline,
reporting
with
the
basketball
team
and
with
the
football
team
and
then
like
anchoring
during
the
middle
of
the
week
on
our
like
television
station,
I
joined
a
sorority
my
sophomore
year,
Delta
Sigma
Theta
sorority
Incorporated,
so
that
was
a
really
really
exciting.
C
You
know
getting
to
around
myself
surround
myself
with
other
black
women
who
were
killing
it
in
their
fields
or
just
whatever
they're
doing
I
joined
our
student
recruitment
team,
so
it
was
like
doing
tours
when
you
know
upcoming,
aspiring
students
would
come
to
visit
the
campuses.
So
I
did
a
good
amount
and
I
loved
every
bit
every
moment
of
it.
So
yeah
awesome.
A
C
We
had
this
program
called
the
student
leadership
program.
They
definitely
run
the
campus
and
they
are
responsible
for
a
lot
of
like
just
the
leadership
opportunities
on
the
campus
like
when
you
go
to
different
stuff.
They
are
the
ones
who
are
like
up
front
and
center
when
it
comes
to
like
stuff
that
has
to
do
with
the
president.
They
are
always
in
like
business
casual
business
professionals,
so
they
stand
out
it's
a
lot
of
like
the
SGA
presidents,
like
the
class
presidents.
C
C
Friday
we
have
a
day
party,
it's
called
12
to
2
and
it's
like
pretty
much
like
a
celebration.
You
made
it
through
the
end
of
the
week,
but
there
would
be
like
a
DJ
for
like
two
hours
in
like
the
student
center
and
it's
like
all
of
the
clubs
and
organizations
would
have
like
vendors
kind
of
like
set
up.
So
it's
like.
If
you
wanted
to
learn
information,
you
could
go
and
talk
to
them.
The
sororities
and
fraternities
would
like
stroll
or,
like
you
know,
Step
at
these,
you
know
12
to
two
functions.
C
C
Friday
Friday
every
Friday
and
like
every
organization
had
a
different
week.
So
a
lot
of
times
like
each
Friday
was
hosted
by
a
different
organization,
so
like
Delta
Sigma
Theta
might
have
one
Friday
and
it's
like
they
would
decorate
the
Student
Center.
You
know,
surrounded
in
you,
know,
crimson
and
cream
colors
and
a
bunch
of
you
know,
banners
and
stuff
like
that.
So
that
was
probably
what
I
looked
most
forward
to
every
single
week.
A
I
was
like
so
but
yeah
and
you
would
look
forward
to
that
every
week.
Do
you
think
most
students
participated?
Yes,
I.
C
Remember
like
especially
around
homecoming,
it
probably
was
the
biggest
because
people
were
coming
back
and
so
like
it
would
be
jam-packed
like
you
can't
even
move.
They
would
have
like
food
trucks
and
stuff
like
that,
but
people
that's
what
we
looked
forward
to
like.
That
was
probably
like
one
of
our
highlights.
Just
you
know,
reminiscing
and
remembering
all
the
memories
that
we
had
when
we
would
attend
those.
You
know
day
parties
so
yeah
that.
A
Was
amazing
that
they
did
that
every
week,
yeah
yeah-
that
is
that's
really
special
for
that
college.
So
were
there
any
experiences
you
have
in
college
that
you
would
have
liked
to
change.
C
Not
really
change
I
did
get
sick
of
my
sophomore
year,
so
that
was
kind
of
like
a
interesting
scenario,
but
I
guess
I
wouldn't
change
it
because
it
shapes
who
you
are.
You
know
you
go
through
some
stuff
and
I
feel
like
it
makes
you
who
you
are
today.
That
was
probably
the
most
challenging,
because
I
had
to
come
home
from
school
for
probably
like
almost
a
month,
but
it
was
like.
I
was
able
to
finish
the
semester,
like
probably
had
the
highest
GPA
I
ever
had
so
like
that
was.
C
A
B
They
have
in
the
curriculum
the
the
college,
research
activities
and
things
like
that,
but
we
also
every
year
we
would
take
a
overnight
College
Tour,
so
we
would
def
visit
different
states,
maybe
two
states
at
a
time
and
just
tour
different
colleges,
hbcus
were
included
in
the
college
tours
and
everything
so
just
to
expose
them
to
schools
outside
of
Maryland
I
know
in
a
middle
school
level,
they
have
an
opportunity
to
see
some
of
the
local
colleges,
but
you
know
what
about
what's
going
on
in
other
states,
you
know
other
opportunities,
so
that
was
a
big
thing
that
we
would
we'd
love
to
do,
and
we
still
do
so
this
year,
we're
planning
on
going
to
visit,
Virginia
and
North
Carolina
schools,
so
we're
going
in
April.
B
A
I
know
it's
great
when
you
go
on
those
college
campus
visits
to
have
the
kids
look
at
the
school,
not
only
to
be
this
school,
so
we're
going
to
University
of
Maryland
we're
not
looking
at
that
school.
Just
as
University
of
Maryland
we're
saying
this
is
University
of
Maryland.
This
is
a
large
school.
This
is
how
many
students
go
here.
These
are,
these
are
the
majors.
This
is
how
the
campus
is
laid
out.
It's
like
intertwined
with
some
of
the
you
know
neighborhood
and
City
around
it,
and
then
we
might
visit
another
school.
A
This
is
Bowie
State.
This
is
a
smaller
school.
This
is
an
HBCU.
The
campus
is
more
self-contained.
These
are
the
things
that
it
offers
so
even
just
being
able
to
compare.
You
know
a
large,
maybe
more
urban
school,
to
a
smaller,
suburban
school
to
an
HBCU
to
you
know
to
private
public.
So
all
of
those
visits
just
help
them
to
get
a
clearer
picture
of
what
different
types
of
schools
look
like
and
then
you
know
visiting
some
of
the
specific
ones
too.
B
A
C
I've
always
wanted
to
at
some
point
become
a
professor,
like
a
college,
professor
and
so
I.
Just
knew
that
in
order
to
do
that,
like
from
what
I
had
understood
is
that
I
would
need
a
master's
degree
in
order
to
teach
for
college,
and
so
I
kind
of
just
figured
like
I
might
as
well
just
keep
going
while
I
am
still
kind
of
in
the
routine
of
like
being
a
student.
So
I
just
knocked
it
out
in
two
years,
and
you
know
I'm
happy
that
I
made
that
decision
and
where
did
you
go?
C
Oh
gosh,
okay,
undergrad
I,
had
some
I
had
a
lot
of
scholarships
that
I
got
for
undergrad
for
graduate
school.
It
was
more
so
I
was
working
like
I
had
started
substitute
teaching
in
Anne,
Arundel
County
for
elementary
school,
nice,
and
so
like
I
was
working
to
help
pay
for
it,
and
then
you
know
luckily,
like
I
had
my
dad
and
my
grandma,
who
were
helping
me
kind
of
paid
for
it
the
first
year
and
then
the
my
second
year.
I
ended
up
taking
out
a
loan.
Okay.
A
So
yeah
good,
so
you
were
able
to
do
both
of
your
degrees
with
a
with
a
little
debt.
C
C
C
So
you
got
to
get
up
the
next
morning,
but
it's
like
you
have
assignments
that
you
have
to
get
done
and
I
was
in
a
journalism
program
and
so
a
lot
of
our
assignments
required
us
to
do
interviews
and
going
out
into
community
and
finding
stuff.
So
you
know
trying
to
make
sure
that
I'm,
like
balancing
my
schedule
and
time
management,
was
key
for
sure
it
was
definitely
a
challenge,
but
I
was
able
to
get
through
it.
And
so
you
know
I'm,
proud
of
myself.
C
For
that,
but
it
was
a
different
experience
in
undergrad
because
you're
not
just
that's,
not
your
life
right.
It
was
like
that's
a
part
of
my
life,
but
I
was
still
at
home.
I
still
had
responsibilities
at
home
and
then
I
was
still
working,
so
it
wasn't
like
I
was
I,
didn't
feel
like
a
student,
because
I
wasn't
living
on
campus
I
wasn't
up
there
all
the
time.
It
was
literally
just
two
nights
a
week
and
then
I
would
commute.
I
would
drive
back
and
forth.
So.
A
C
So
currently
I
am
a
audio
producer,
so
I
work
in
podcasting
I
work
remote.
So
you
know
there
was
pros
and
cons
with
that.
I've
been
in
this
role
for
two
years
now
and
I
work
for
this
company
called
VOX
media
and
under
VOX
media
I
work
for
SB
Nation,
it's
a
sports
blog
and
we
have
a
specific
blog
covering
the
Philadelphia
Eagles
called
a
bleeding
green
nation
and
So.
Currently
I
work
as
the
audio
producer
for
bleeding
green
Nation.
C
It
is
podcasts,
and
so
we
have
10
podcasts,
like
10
different
shows
on
our
podcast,
so
there's
looting,
green
nation
and
we
have
a
different
like
10
different
shows
that
are
all
run
by
Freelancers,
and
so
my
job
is
to
coordinate
with
their
schedules
to
have.
You
know
figure
out
when
they're
going
to
record
each
week,
they
record
their
episode,
I
edit.
The
episode
I
publish
it
onto
like
apple
podcast
onto
Spotify,
wherever
you
stream,
your
podcast,
we
do
like
live,
shows
like
before
the
like.
C
After
the
games,
we
do
like
a
live
show
where
we're
recapping
what
happened
in
the
Philadelphia
Eagles
game
the
upcoming
week.
We
also
do
interviews
so
every
once
in
a
while
I'll
get
to
like
interview
players
on
Zoom.
So
that's
like
a
lot
of
fun.
Just
getting
to
talk
to
them.
I
got
to
interview
like
Jalen
hurts,
so
that
was
like
probably
the
biggest
interview.
I've
done,
Devante
Smith,
one
of
the
wide
receivers
for
the
Eagles,
some
of
the
former
players
I'll
get
to
interview
them.
C
Fletcher,
Cox
I
got
to
interview
him,
and
so
it's
really
cool
a
lot
of
responsibility.
A
lot
of
social
media
like
making
sure
you
know
how
to
like
edit
and
post
stuff
on
social
media,
a
lot
of
writing.
So
it's
like
a
broad
spectrum
of
responsibilities.
It
definitely
keeps
you
busy
a
lot
of
nights,
a
lot
of
weekends,
but
I
mean
that
comes
with
the
territory
when
you're
working
in
sports,
so
I
love
it.
Yes,.
C
It's
a
stepping
stone.
You
know
to
getting
me.
C
A
C
And
no
not
Sports
I
knew
I
wanted
to
get
into
journalism
like
in
high
school.
I
was
involved
with,
like
the
yearbook
committee,
so
I
knew
like
I
enjoyed
doing
the
interviews.
I
knew
I
enjoyed
like
seeing
something
like
creating
the
pages
and
seeing
them
you
know,
go
from
nothing
to
like
a
masterpiece.
You
know
like
that
was
fun.
Being
able
to
be
creative,
I
did
like
the
morning
show
at
Annapolis,
High
School
was
called
Panorama,
but
I
didn't
know
at
that
time.
I
thought
I
wanted
to
do.
C
A
C
The
easiest
adjustment
in
undergrad,
like
we
were
so
busy
in
addition
to
like
your
workload
and
making
sure
you're
getting
your
assignments
done,
we
still
were
involved
in
other
organizations
and
you
still
had
a
social
life
and
so
being
able
to
transition
that
like
work,
you
have
to
get
your
assignments
done
at
the
end
of
the
day.
Sometimes
you
have
to
sacrifice,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day,
it's
like
a
still
like
a
healthy
balance
and
so
I
think
that's
when
the
easiest
transition,
because
I
was
so
busy
in
undergrad.
C
A
To
adjust,
that's
a
that's,
a
really
good,
a
really
good
piece
of
advice.
Yeah
right
they
always
say
if
you
want
something
done,
give
it
to
a
busy
person
yeah
right,
because
they're
going
to
fit
it
in
they're.
C
A
Going
to
brush
it
off
because
they
don't
have
time
and
what
do
you
think
has
been
challenging
about
moving
from
college
to
Career
the.
C
First
year,
I
struggled
with
just
being
away
from
your
friends
because
I
feel,
like
that's
the
one
time
like
you
make:
lifelong
friends
in
college,
and
so
when
you
graduate,
everybody
goes
back
to
their
states,
different
states,
and
so
it's
like
I,
couldn't
just
drive
to
see
my
friends
all
the
time.
So
that
was
kind
of
like
a
interesting
adjustment.
It
was
like
trying
to
make
a
new
life
back
home
because
I
came
home,
so
it
was
like
reconnecting
with
high
school
friends.
C
You
know
getting
spending
a
lot
more
time
with
my
family,
so
that
was
harder.
You
know
being
able
to
schedule
because
everybody
has
lives
so
like
when
I
want
to
hang
out
with
my
friends
in
different
cities
or
do
a
summer
trip.
You
know
what
weekend
works
best
for
everybody
like
that's.
Probably
the
hardest
is
like
trying
to
schedule
and
make
sure
everybody's
available,
so
yeah.
A
C
I
remember
so
plainly,
like
our
binder
checks,
we
had
to
do
binder
checks.
I,
don't
remember
how
frequent
they
were,
but
they
would
make
sure
you
know
we
were
organized
organized.
We
had
dividers,
you
know
for
our
different
subjects.
Note
taking.
We
did
Cornell
notes.
I
did
use
Cornell
notes
because
I
helped
you
just
kind
of
structure
your
notes
a
little
bit
more
a
few
years
in
college,
so
I
did
use
those,
but
I
would
definitely
say
like
the
time,
management
and
organization
or
the
biggest
yeah.
C
A
So
it's
funny
because
I
was
the
first
gen
college
student,
okay,
but
I
wasn't
an
avid
student
and
now,
when
I
look
back,
I
was
like.
Oh,
if
I
knew
that
yeah,
you
know
at
the
beginning
of
my
freshman
year,
but
these
are
still
tools
that
we
have
to
use
throughout
our
professional
lives
because
they
work
once
you
figure
out
what
works
for
you.
Yes,
you
stick
with
it.
That's
right.
Do
you
have
any
advice
you
would
give
to
current
students
to
help
them
prepare
for
their
post-secondary
life.
C
Utilize,
your
network,
that's
what
I'm
learning
right
now
like
there
are.
So
many
like
you
meet
people
for
a
reason
and
I
feel
like
at
the
end
of
the
day,
like
these
people
are
there
to
help
you,
and
so
sometimes
it's
scary
or
you
don't
want
to
like
open
your
mouth
and
you
know
let
people
know
where
you're
trying
to
go,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day,
like
you
can't
get
anywhere
on
your
own,
and
so
my
biggest
lesson
would
definitely
be
like
reach
out
to
your
teachers,
reach
out
to
your
peers.
C
If
you
have
family
members
who
are
maybe
in
a
field
that
you
want
to
be
in
or
know
someone
who's
in
that
field,
like
don't
be
afraid
to
ask
them,
can
I
Shadow
you?
You
know
what
I'm
saying,
because
they
might
know
somebody
who
can
get
you
your
next
job
opportunity.
They
might
know
somebody
who
can
you
know
you
never
know
so
that
my
biggest
thing
would
be
utilize.
Your
network
reach
out
to
people
like
follow
up
with
your
teachers
when
you
graduate
like
just
don't
forget
them,
you
know
like
because
they
you
do.
C
A
B
A
B
C
C
I
just
put
them
out
so.
A
C
C
A
Right
well,
we
hope
that
we
can
get
you
back
to
Annapolis
to
talk
to
some
of
the
kids
about
your
interesting
career.
Maybe
we
could
do
a
little
video
about
your
career
as
well
yeah,
because,
that's
you
know
definitely
a
lot
of
the
careers
out
there.
We
don't
even
know
about
right
now
so
to
you
know,
have
someone
in
a
really
unique
field
to
be
able
to
say
to
students.
You
know
this
is
what
I
do,
and
this
is
what
it
looks
like
every
day
is
so
important,
because
we
can
tell
I'm
the
old
traditional.
C
A
Right,
but
the
what's
out
there
now,
you
know,
is
always
changing
so
I
would
love
to
be
able
to.
You
know,
get
some
more
information
and
be
able
to
share.
Definitely
you
know
your
career
with
students
yeah.
