Tuesdays with Cordarro

Cordarro is an interesting student. He comes to visit me sometimes during planning period. He impresses me because although he doesn’t have the best grades, he has already found his passion—hip hop music. Unlike others, he doesn’t want to be a rapper. He wants to take part in the business side of the industry. In our talks, I have found that his exposure has been limited, but his dream has not. He informed me that he has never seen the Mississippi Gulf Coast, something that made me realize the importance of college as an opportunity for him. I received good news the other day. Cordarro, a senior, just got a 16 on his ACT. While he can only enter college through taking summer courses, at least he is going to have the opportunity to go somewhere. Through Cordarro, I see where passion meets opportunity. He inspires me.
