Equipped for the Future
It’s been a long day and Teri Brent is focused on getting dinner put together. Spring storm clouds are rolling across northwest Houston, so her two grandchildren are staying inside and available to help set the table. Ta’Nia, a willowy 10-year-old, smiles as she talks about her gymnastics classes and her 8-year-old brother, Terynce, lines up napkins and looks for an opportunity to show the sequence he is learning in his martial arts class.

Kaden almost glows when he begins talking about his studies and aspirations for the future. It is with good reason; he has a great deal to be excited about.

Rooted in her faith, the youngest sibling of six always puts her family first.
