Basketball has been part of Quentrell’s life since he could walk, but he admits he can’t quite spin a basketball on his finger. He’s determined and keeps trying – a trait the 17-year-old has learned as a Day Student at the University of Texas–University Charter School at Methodist Children’s Home.
A quiet young woman with a big personality and a heart to match, D’Nayjah is ready for her next chapter in life.“ I want to give my parents a nice, custom home after I become a successful real estate agent,” the May 2022 graduate said with a smile. Rooted in her faith, the youngest sibling of six always puts her family first.
“Yamilex never meets a stranger,” Clarence Degrate, coordinator of the Methodist Children’s Home Day Student program, said with a smile. “She wants to connect with you. It is nice to have that bright light at the charter school every day.” Connecting is something Yamilex, affectionately known as “Yami,” has learned to do well. The 17-year-old admitted her journey has not been easy, but she is motivated to reach her goals.
