Peterson-Warren Academy
Malcolm Duane Jessup, "Little Mack," is a senior at Peterson-Warren Academy. He is the son of Malcolm Sr. and Dawn Jessup of Detroit, Michigan, and a member of the City Temple Church.
His hobbies include reading magazines about cars, computers, and music—especially piano, trumpet, and singing.
The first word out of Malcolm's mouth was "Pontiac," the word he saw on the General Motors building in Pontiac, Michigan. This was the beginning of Malcolm's love for cars and the beginning of Malcolm's speaking career also.
Malcolm was second place winner in the school's eighth grade elocution contest, delivering, "What's My Anti-Drug?" His public speaking talent seemed to broaden when he addressed a group of young people for the City of Detroit.
Malcolm is extremely active in his church, serving as a youth leader, offering beautiful prayers, scripture readings, and performing other up-front tasks. He also video tapes programs and makes sure the microphones and sound system are in perfect order for services. He frequently volunteers in the soup kitchen and is active in Pathfinders as a Teen Leader in Training (TLT). In December, Malcolm traveled to the Dominican Republic with the Pathfinders.
Malcolm plans to pursue a career in mechanical engineering and dreams of being CEO of General Motors Corporation. More importantly, he desires to see God face to face.
Teresa Marie Trammell, "Ree-cy," is a senior at Peterson-Warren Academy. She is the daughter of Patricia and William Trammell of Detroit, Michigan, where she attends the City Temple Church.
Her special interests include computers, bowling, writing poetry, and camping.
Teresa leads a busy life. As a participant in the City of Detroit's Sister Cities program, Teresa and her family opened their home to two young ladies from Japan. This experience taught her tolerance and understanding for others and their culture.
She has also participated in the Steps Program, where she was involved in a variety of community service activities such as nursing home visitation, talent shows for neighborhood youth, and collecting surveys about neighborhood businesses.
Teresa likes people. She has a particular gift for reaching out to those who are "different." She likes listening, encouraging them, and is very good at keeping confidences.
Teresa's favorite class is Bible, where she is given the opportunity to talk about situations and subjects that pertain to her life.
After graduation, Teresa plans to pursue a career as a dental hygienist.
