New student Mehkai West is a 6th grader coming to us from the state of Maryland.
“I’m more than excited to be here,” Mehkai said. He said his aunt was influential in his being here.
“My aunt told my mom I should come here,” Mehkai said.
Mehkai said he wanted to come to Breakthrough to get smart on a whole new level. His favorite subject is Math.
On his free time, Mehkai enjoys playing basketball, baseball, and soccer.
“Mehkai is a good kid,” said Brian Thoby. Brian said he thinks Mehkai will be staying here for a long time.
6th grade English teacher Jason Wallace also said he thinks Mehkai is a good kid to have in the program.
“He’s quiet, always does his work, and he participates,” Jason said.
Taylor Jared was chosen by Site Director Jamael Stewart to be Mehkai’s “pilot,” which means he automatically was in all of her classes.
“It feels weird having a kid following me all the time” she said. Though the 6th grader was uneasy about having someone follow her to all of her classes, she realized she had to be chosen to be his pilot for a reason.
“I feel Jamael picked me because I am a leader,” Taylor said.
