    This is great to see and should be a inspirational story that any young person not just Black can benefit from. Talk about keeping youself busy.

    Fredric, I didn't know you were a Wash U grad. My mother got her music masters from there years ago long before they closed the music department.

    I'm proud of my young homeboy writing his own ticket to campuses of his choice. Let's hear it for us St. Louis public school grads! Nah, that's just good parenting from his mother.
