Hi, my name is David. I like to rap, and act in movies. I love art. I like to draw cartoons. Girls are the best.
February 2001

Interesting Fact: A good thing about me is that I can make cartoon sounds.

Story Description: Becoming the President used to rank high among career goals for young people. Now they want to be pop-stars. David is obsessed with becoming a star -- with a mansion, a limo, constant media attention, and his own clothing line. But his mother says he should be worrying about his report card, not his next gig.

Mentor: David's mentor is Leticia Theodore. Leticia is an associate producer in WNYC's  News and information Department. She was a social worker for 8 years before switching careers, and has worked for a short period with CNN and the ABC Radio Network.Before coming to WNYC she was a reporter for the weekly newspaper, Bronx Times Reporter. She has a special interest in teen and urban issues.
