PMA Press: Am I a Phenomenal Woman?

Am I a Phenomenal Woman?

Am I a Phenomenal Woman

Am I a phenomenal woman?

I mean is it because of the flow of my hair

The way I gaze in the sky

Or is it the way I stand

So bold and tall

Is it how my legs are shaped

Answer me

Why must you play these games with me

Speak louder

I CANT HEAR YOU

Am I a phenomenal woman?

Speak louder I need to hear it come out your mouth

The more I ask you

The more I feel I’m talking to a wall

Am I phenomenal?

I know the swiftness of my walk

the gap in my teeth and the butterfly kisses as I blink

Makes me feel phenomenal

But I want to hear it from you

Say it

Speak louder

Am I a phenomenal woman?

I will be putting my best effort into this paper and making sure my fellow teammates are doing so as well. I love to go shopping, talk on the phone, and read Zane novels. After high school I plan to attend a good college to achieve my goal of becoming a lawyer and living life to the fullest!

Cierra Porter
My name is Cierra Porter and I am 17 years old. I am an Aquarius and will turn 18 next year. I enjoy all kinds of music and I am very unpredictable at times. I'm very laid back and down to earth. I get along with just about anyone. I'm very serious about my future and where I end up 10 years from now. I love to hang out with my friends and joke around. However, you really have to know me well to see my silly side. The two people I look up to most are my mother and Maya Angelou, simply because they are two strong black women who went through a lot and survived. I'm also a very sweet person once you get to know me, and you can tell I have a big heart. One of my great qualities is I'm a great listener and can give great advice, so if you need some, get at me.

Paul Maiellano
Cadet Paul Maiellano is an aspiring English major after graduating from PMA. He attends English classes in the dual-enrollment program at Eastern University, where he maintains a 3.5 GPA. Aside from classes at Eastern, he also carries a full course load at PMA, and plays on the varsity football team for Germantown High School. Paul is Editor in Chief of the Knightly Scroll.

My name is Sara Watson. I have been at the Philadelphia Military Academy for three years. My rank is Second Lieutenant. I am on the Physical Fitness and the Raider teams. I have been on these teams for three years. Since I've been here I have enjoyed it enough to return every year.

Tresurea Nelson
Hi my name is Tresurea La Quia Nelson and I am one of the staff members for the Knightly Scroll newspaper at The Philadelphia Military Academy at Leeds. At age three my mother placed me in dance school because the doctor said I will be a tall young lady. I performed ballet for about 2 to 3 years. I discovered most of my talents, which include singing, playing the violin and playing basketball, when I was in elementary school. When I was in sixth grade, I studied ballet, tap, jazz, hip-hop, African and acrobatics at D’shay School of Dance. I’ve been performing at Philadelphia Dance Company (Philadanco) since eighth grade. At PMA I play the trumpet and violin for the school band. My lifelong dream is to become a criminal justice lawyer. I believe I can achieve all things with self-confidence and motivation and effort.

Jorge Rangel
Hi my name is Jorge Rangel and I am a senior at the Phliadelphia Military Academy. I am part of the first graduating class and I am also its first Mexican to graduate. I'm being nominated as the shortest of the entire '08 class and I'm proud of it. I'm into rock music, but not really into that weird, screaming type of rock. I am currently a Target Team Member. But I won't tell you where it is located because I don't want any stalkers watching me while I work, especially Ms. Hoffler, because I know she wants me to get her discounts. But, back to me; I can be very lazy at the bad times, but when I really get to it I can do a phenomenal job, like I am doing now. Well this is all the info I'm going to share about me. So talk to me at school or on Myspace.
Oh, and I do have a green card..lol

Jacob Biggs
Hello my name is Jacob Biggs and I am proud to be in the first graduating class of 2008 at the Philadelphia Military Academy at Leeds. I like to chill with my friends and just hang out and have fun, and I am quite unique. You can’t find any other kid like me because I do me no matter what. I like to play basketball and to watch sports. My favorite basketball player is Kobe Bryant, even if Jon thinks Lebron is better than he is (yeah right). I can’t wait to graduate high school and to move on to the next level, college. I know that PMA has helped me on my way to college because it's prepared me for the unexpected. I am going to end this by saying do whatever you feel is right and don’t ever let anyone make you do something you don’t want to.

Shirley Gaither
I am Cadet Gaither. I'm here to tell you about myself. I am a sweet, generous person. I enjoy drawing things like clothing designs and pictures of people. I am a rose that blossoms in the afternoon, not the morning. I know that's kind of crazy, but it's true. I also love to sing. I have written almost 20 songs. I write Christian and R&B music. I'm a lovable person. I love to act a lot, and I am in all of my aunt's plays. I always play the star. I love to work out at the gym and listen to MJ.
