A Creative Start

So this past week, I've been taking the time to get to know the SEAD scholars and giving them the low down on the college checklist they need to have on their minds in the midst of their schoolwork.

After school on Wednesday, I was privy to see Denise in her creative zone, she was in her AP Art studio with some friends finishing up a painting assignment due for the week.  As an art major, it warmed my heart seeing her so focused and so productive and artsy last week!

I'm very much looking forward to catching up with the other scholars in their favorite spaces, doing their favorite things!

That's all for now

A Joyous Arrival

I can't believe how incredible my first two days have been at Eastie!

I arrived at the school simultaneously nervous and excited to meet the scholars and my excitement and optimism prevailed!


I was so glad to see Alex and Denise there at the office quite early--before I got there!  And later in the day I met with Pam, Miguel, Ronaldo, and JP, all of whom I can't wait to get to know and support during this Fall's college journey.  Just met up with Jakara today too and I'm hopeful to meet with Ke'Andre tomorrow!

Looking forward to posting pictures of you all having fun and getting your college applications ready!


Much more to say next week without a doubt!

Meet the SEAD Fall 2015 Intern!

Hello there Eastie students and SEAD scholars!

I'm Beverly Alomepe, a junior at Dartmouth College and I'll be the SEAD Intern at East Boston High this Fall.  I'll be available to all of you at school this coming Monday, September 21st!  I'm looking forward to getting to know you, your hobbies, and dreams, as well as being an academic and college resource to you this semester (and beyond if you'd like!).  So please come stop by to see me on Monday, as you can tell by the endless barrage of exclamation marks, I'm quite excited to meet you!

So a little about myself...

I'm a Studio Art major with a focus on Painting and Architecture hoping to either become an architect and/or go to medical school.  I'm from Milwaukee, Wisconsin and of Cameroonian descent (my parents immigrated from Cameroon, Central Africa).  My beloved hobbies are problem-solving and gaming (board games, puzzles, Steam games, etc.).   I also work at the Costume Shop in the theater department and do qualitative research in a Spaceflight Medicine lab on campus. 

Hope to see you soon!

Beverly A.
