I attend Martin Luther King High, where my friend introduced me and my younger brother to the program. I'm thankful for the opportunity to learn from some pretty cool people.

Bettie Resse

I'm Bettie and I'm 14 years old. I attend Detroit School of Arts. My favorite memory in my neighborhood is the park, because I used to be there a lot when I was younger, with my siblings. I still love my community very much, and when I become a superstar I will give back to my community. I believe the park and the candy shop are very important to me, or are a main factor in my community because like I said, I grew up there and I knew everyone on my street. The reason for me being in this program is because adults told me about it, and I realized it was fun and very funny here.
