19TH ANNUAL SPECIAL EDITION | 25 SEPTEMBER 2009

i Know i can has held its an-nual newspaper sale each fall for the past 19 years. Each edi-tion has had a theme, and for this year’s, we asked students and graduates from Colum-bus City Schools (CCS) to com-plete the following sentence: “I Know I Can…”

Elementary school students completed the sentence by drawing pictures of what they

want to be when they grow up. Middle and high school students finished the sentence with written thoughts about their post secondary aspirations. And CCS alumni used the sentence to give advice about the importance of attending college. As president of the Board of Directors of i Know i can, I complete the sentence as follows: “i Know i can is strategically positioned to carry out its mission, promising to inspire, enable and support Columbus City Schools stu-dents in pursuing and completing a college degree.” We made this commitment in our founding year, 1988, and we proudly stand by our promise today.

Confronting difficult economic pressures during the past year has been challenging for everyone, and i Know i can is no different. Fundraising has been difficult, and the stock market returns have been less than positive. However, like many other organizations, we implemented cost-cutting measures and otherwise trimmed our budget. Most im-portantly, we have taken these steps without reducing the benefits and services provided to our customers - CCS students and their families.

Last year, as we celebrated our 20th Anniversary, i Know i can worked diligently to carry out the second of a three-year strategic plan. Now in our final year, we are in the pro-cess of implementing a progressive and forward thinking

action-plan that will serve a new generation of well-pre-pared CCS students and their families and keep i Know i can on the cutting edge of college access programs for the next 20 years and beyond.

In the upcoming school year, i Know i can will embark on new and innovative programming for current CCS stu-dents, as well as for district graduates attending college. The organization will continue providing all second grad-ers with a copy of the i Know i can book with coinciding activities to help reinforce the book’s message. The orga-nization will also market its new bilingual edition (English/Spanish) across the country. With support from the district as well as community partners, i Know i can will begin shifting a greater emphasis on middle-school age, college advising activities in the 2009-2010 academic year. College programming and advising services for CCS high school students, graduates and their families will continue, includ-ing college admissions and financial aid assistance, as well as awarding the Last Dollar Grant. Moreover, i Know i can hopes to offer several larger grants to graduating CCS stu-dents in an effort to provide greater motivation so students will be better prepared to succeed in college. And for the first time ever, i Know i can has formed an alumni council to better engage with CCS graduates who have been im-pacted by our service. The council will serve as ambassa-dors for the organization, helping to increase its visibility and volunteer involvement and will look for ways to help increase financial support from a new generation of lead-ers in central Ohio.

The 2009-2010 academic year is a critical one for i Know i can, but never has there been a more fervent commitment to help Columbus City School students enter and succeed in college. Now more than ever, i Know i can will inspire students to dream big and support them as they work hard to achieve their goals.

Dream Big. Work Hard. We’ll help. Will you?

Ghadir AminHilltonia Middle School

My name is Ghadir Amin. I started with a rough life. Hav-ing war in my country, having to move from place to place, and having to lose and make new friends were

just too hard for me. When I was eight and a half years old, I moved to Jacksonville, Florida. People were very mean to me in Jacksonville. They made fun of me all the time. I think it was because I was Muslim and very different from them. But then, luckily, I moved to Columbus, Ohio. Every-body was nice to me here. Well, maybe not everybody but most of them. I didn’t know English for a year and a half; I didn’t even try to learn.

But when I came to middle school, I re-alized that grades matter more than I ex-pected. I also began to understand the lan-guage and the lessons. It was easy. In 6th and 7th grade, I got all A’s and a few B’s. I made college plans too. I really want to go to Ohio State University or Harvard Univer-sity. I want to be a successful eye doctor. I know if I really want this to happen, I’ll have to try harder. Now I’m trying as hard as I can to make my dream a reality. It is a big chal-lenge to take on, so are you in? I know I’m in. I know I can go to college.

Chantel JackArts Impact Middle School

College is a place I want to be Because it gives you a lot of opportunities

College is good for me It’s a door of choices All you need is a learning key

College is important So work hard in high school If you want it

College can also be confusing You just have to get your head in the game If you do, you can do anything

You have to believe to succeed

Taejas MalikWedgewood Middle School

I know I can go to college, Because I have an abundance of knowledge.

I do my work, I use my brain, When I get work, I never complain!

Math and science are my strengths, I can measure up to many lengths.

If I grow up to be an engineer, I will always remember to be sincere.

If I grow up to be a scientist, I might invent a new potion, Or be like Sir Isaac Newton who showed us the laws of motion.

College is work and a lot of fun, After I get my degree, I’ll be done!

Taylor QuillerBeery Middle School

I know I want to go to college as soon as I get out of high school. I want to go to The Ohio State University. I know that going to col-lege isn’t free so I am going to start saving my money

so when the time comes to go to college, I will be ready.

When my sister went to college it was very hard for her because she was the first person in my family to go off to school. She cherished every moment, took every op-portunity she was offered, and made the most of it. Now it is my turn and I am ready for the challenge.

Now that my sister is out of college and has started her family, she tells me every day to be good in school, to do my work, and to listen to my teachers. My sister said that teachers are here to help me get ready for what is ahead in my life.

I come to school each and every day ready to learn and to be told that I have what it takes to make it. Hopefully with a lot of hard work, I will get a scholarship and then I will be on my way, right to the doors of The Ohio State University.

I Know I Can invited middle school students to write an essay or poem about their goals as they prepare to enter high school and begin planning for college.

Chaunte BanksColumbus Alternative High School

Leadership is the first step to be-coming a mentor and role model. As the senior class president of Co-lumbus Alterna-tive, leadership is my passion. I believe that good exposure to great leaders obligates

our students to have the character, mindset and lifestyle of a leader. One example of a fine role model that I have been exposed to is Dr. Talisa Dixon. As an educator, she goes be-yond her normal duties to show her love for each student by giving advice about leader-ship and her successful strategies. As an ed-ucator, I will establish different organizations that provide awareness about professional development. Different topics such as, attire for an interview, creating a resume and speak-ing in public will be addressed. As the class president, I receive countless opportunities to attend many leadership conferences, but my concern is for those who have potential but are never exposed to these informative conferences.

In the fall I plan to attend Wittenberg Uni-versity with a major in Biology Education. After graduating, I plan on studying at The Ohio State University with plans of attaining a master’s degree in counseling education. I then plan to enroll at Harvard’s School of Education, with the faith to one day become the Superintendent of the Columbus City School District. One quote I live by is “Any-time one is in a leadership position, you must give your all and always make the best decision out of the worst scenario.”- Dr. Talisa Dixon. This means be the very best you can be. Anytime you are leading, you must never fail because someone is always looking up to you. Education is the foundation and fu-ture for preparing our students to enter the competitive global economy.

I am excited about the next stage in my life: college. I know my dreams can come true and I thank i Know i can for helping me along the way.

Shadae HowardEastmoor Academy

As a student of Eastmoor Acad-emy High School I have many chal-lenges set before me. Thanks to i Know i can, I have been able to tackle each and every challenge, one by one. My

experience with i Know i can has been very beneficial and I owe them a tremendous debt of gratitude. My i Know i can college advisor has helped to make my college deci-sions less stressful for both my mother and I. Also, she has given me advice for my journey through college and even life after college.

As an honor student, I have always excelled in the classroom and therefore my grades have never been a problem. However, I was lost when it came to my next step to success. The financial burden of college is where I needed serious help. But i Know i can has surely paved the way! From fee waivers, to scholarships, to awarded money, i Know i can has helped me substantially. With their help, I have been accepted to many pres-tigious colleges and universities such as Spelman College, Washington and Jefferson, Miami University, University of Louisville, Kentucky State University, and many more. I am very thankful and appreciative of all that i Know i can has done for me and I openly recommend them to all students who plan to further their education.

our I Know I Can college advisors identified two outstanding high school students and asked them to look back at their accomplishments thus far and to write about how those accomplishments have shaped their college and career ambitions.

Kenyatta BosleyColumbus State Community CollegeNorthland High School

I know I can achieve anything I want through hard work, de-spite any obstacles I face. I am a 2008 graduate from Northland High School. While attending Northland, I was selected for Who’s Who Among American High School students, served on the Principal’s Leadership Board and Student Council, and was regularly on the Honor Roll. I am

currently a full-time freshman student at Columbus State Community College and I want to become a nurse and transfer to a four-year institution. It won’t be an easy road but I know I can do it.

Every day I show that I am an individual who expresses strength, pride, and leadership. I have always uplifted my family in difficult situations and have been there through thick and thin. I have been there for my older brother, help-ing him make major life decisions, like helping him pick the right college for him. I show devotion to my family by car-rying my father’s responsibilities on my back, not because he’s not there for my family, but because he is disabled. I’m a very hard worker, who sets and accomplishes goals not only for myself, but for my family.

I make sacrifices for my family on top of going to school full-time and working two part-time jobs. I am committed to being there for my nine-year-old brother to be a role model for him, so he can learn family values and most of all show devotion to my family the same way I do. I not only help my own family, but other families as well. I help with babysitting and mentoring. I have helped with mentoring young teens on sex, drugs and life in general. I have gone out of my way to make sure my grandparents have food to eat and are comfortable. I choose to be an inspiration and a strong young lady who wants to make a difference. I choose this over drinking and living a college party life. It’s not always easy, but I know that in the end, if I continue to support my family, work hard in school, and try my best at my jobs, I will succeed and make all of my dreams come true. I know I can finish college, become a nurse, and always be there for my family.

Amber PayneColumbus College of Art and DesignWalnut Ridge High School

As a senior in high school I graduated at the top of my class, achieved numerous honors, starred in a Cotillion, was a cheerleader, played in the band, got accepted to more than 5 colleges, won prom queen and was awarded a list of superlatives. Now nearing the end of my senior year in college I have continued to stay on the

focused path to success; consistently earning recogni-tion at my school on both the Dean's and President's list. With the days of strenuous class schedules and nights of tedious homework coming to an end, I know I am a con-queror. Even though I have always been optimistic, there are many learned lessons from this last chapter of my life that have helped me to mature into the intelligent, young woman, that I am.

The first thing I learned (which I hope everyone gets a grip of ) is that: YOU CAN DO IT! When my school schedule would get hectic and I'd sometimes hardly make time to eat or sleep (due to the overlap of responsibilities), I would always aim to keep my motivation level up, staying calm and remembering that everything would work out. Having a "CAN DO" attitude is important not only in the classroom, but in everyday life.

Another important lesson I learned while studying for my Bachelors degree in Advertisement and Graphic Design is to persevere. Being able to push yourself to go to your bor-ing literature class or study one extra hour for that science exam, will help you prove to yourself that you are in con-trol. Sometimes it’s easy to get so busy moving and going that it feels better to give in. When you challenge yourself, nobody reaps the benefit but you.

Finally, I've learned not to be afraid to ask for help! When starting college I didn't know how many countless hours of work it would involve, how much money would be sac-rificed, and how many people I would need to support me through it all. Students, if you need help don't be afraid to ask; there are people who will help! Personally, i Know i can has been one of the building blocks that have assisted me

to my destination of graduating from college. My school's i Know i can representative is one of the sweetest individu-als you can meet. She was always there to help me with the FAFSA and the i Know i can applications (even contacting me at times when I would get so tied up and forget to visit her). I am thankful for the support of my i Know i can ad-visor and the i Know i can organization. They have been there for the long haul, allowing me to declare "I've made it! I am graduating in May and I am so delighted!!!

I close by saying to anyone who may read this, be encour-aged, look up, think up, and then you can go up. I really be-lieve for anyone to be successful they must first want to be successful. Through all trials and hardships whether school related or not, true happiness is within you. Because of my achievements in the last 5 years of my life, I am inspired to believe now more than ever, that if I want to be victorious in my life: I Know I Can.

Calvin CooperCapital UniversityNorthland High School

I know I can do anything. My name is Calvin N. Cooper and I am a rising senior at Capital Uni-versity, majoring in economics.

i Know i can has played an important role in my matricula-tion as a student at Capital Uni-versity. I am a Last Dollar Grant recipient and the help that this organization has given me has

aided me in financing my education. There have been se-mesters where, without i Know i can’s help, I do not know how I would have bridged the gap between my scholar-ships and my tuition.

Now I am nearing the end of my college career. College, for me, has been so much more than writing papers and taking tests. College has given me opportunities that I would have never been afforded. I have been very active during my time at Capital. I was elected by my peers to be a Senator on the Capital University Student Government where I was Student Interests Committee Chair. I am the immediate past Omicron Rho Chapter President and Cen-tral Ohio Area Director of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Incor-porated. This past year I was given the opportunity to serve

as the College Representative to the Board of Directors of i Know i can, and in January, I became a small business owner with the founding of Level 3 Entertainment Market-ing and Promotions LLC.

I want to give special thanks to my fraternal brotherhood, to the i Know i can staff and board, and to my peers. There have been a lot of people who have made my college ex-perience a memorable one. These people have inspired me and have convinced me that, with a lot of help and hard work, I can do anything.

Muimtaz ShalashUniversity of CincinnatiWalnut Ridge High School

I know I can succeed. Throughout my college experi-ence at the University of Cincinnati, I have been exposed to countless obstacles and challenges that have definitely shaped who I have become today. My goals have remained the same, yet my personality and determination have changed for the better. Today, I am determined and reflec-tive. Today, I stand ready to experience the rest of my life as I learn from my mistakes and grow. Every obstacle and challenge that has stood before me has made me even more eager to cross the finish line.

As a freshman, I recall the intimidating size of campus and feeling fear and regret. Today, I am a senior who has not only conquered her fear long ago, but has also used her fears to fuel her inner strength. Whether it was registra-tion issues or academic challenges, I was able to utilize my resolve to motivate me towards excellence. Accomplishing my goals and creating new ones has made me more knowl-edgeable and imaginative with my future aspirations.

I salute i Know i can for remaining a constant in my aca-demic life and generously contributing to the completion of my degree. It is because of programs like i Know i can that students, such as me, are able to cope with the finan-cial responsibility that comes with attending a four year University. i Know i can has not only helped me succeed, but it has also given me the confidence to know that I will succeed. Thank you, i Know i can, for believing in me!


Candace AllenBowling Green State UniversityMifflin High School

I know I can exceed expecta-tions. As a recent graduate from Bowling Green State University, I have crossed a major milestone in my life. Hear-ing my name being called, my mother scream-

ing at the top of her lungs, and receiving my diploma from the university’s presi-dent, signified the reward of my accom-plishment. It was four years of hard work, dedication and persistence that defined my triumph of exceeding expectations.

College can be intimidating: the free-dom, the access, the intensity of the coursework, the distance from home, all of it can be a major hurdle for many to overcome. These things are added to ones’ own self-doubt of being able to compete, especially in an atmosphere so utterly dif-ferent from what is comfortable. I was not an exception. I had fears of meeting new people; I had fears that I was not smart or prepared enough to receive the grades that were expected of me. I had fears of being lonely, and I had fears of temptation. These were all natural fears and doubts that I had to overcome in order to reach graduation. Therefore, I viewed them as a challenge.

College was my challenge; it was the ex-pectation my parents set, it was the expec-tation that Columbus’ Mifflin High School set, and this was the expectation that I set for myself. I confronted this challenge and exceeded expectations, by refusing to let doubts, fears, and depressive thoughts consume me to the point of quitting. Was

this process tough? Yes. Was this experi-ence hard? Absolutely. However, the belief that I can accomplish and succeed at anything is immeasurable; it is a convic-tion that cannot be destroyed. The late nights writing ten page essays, the tearful phone calls to my parents, the letdown of receiving a bad grade after trying my best, did not deter me from this challenge. My completion of my undergraduate degree gave me a belief; it gave me a confidence to know that as I continue on my life’s journey nothing will be too hard or too difficult to overcome. I know that I am tough enough, smart enough, and strong enough not only to meet expectations, but also to exceed them.

Lari ShawThe Ohio State UniversitySouth High School

My College De-gree–The Single most important and influential milestone of my life!

As a South High Bulldog in the late ‘80’s prepar-ing to head to college, I often

questioned my ability to succeed there. Even though I earned very good grades while in High School, I would be a first generation college student and therefore had little knowledge of what to expect. I had only heard about how academically challenging it would be. However, I was a young person of great passion and per-sistence. And those traits combined with lots of effort, catapulted me through four years to graduation from The Ohio State University. What a wonderful experience it was and bar none the best, most important thing I’ve ever done for myself.

So, my advice…go for your dreams and goals with all that you’ve got–leaving noth-

ing to regret! Henry Ford once said “wheth-er you think you can or you can’t, you’re right”. We know you can!

Meredith TuranchikOtterbein College

Linden McKinley High School The summer after my fresh-man year of col-lege, I was at a crossroads. I didn’t know if I wanted to return to school in the

fall. My first year of college had not been as easy as I thought it would be. Although my grades were good, and I found the work load to be manageable, it had been a tough transition for me. A new place, new people, new decisions to make. I had switched my major from Journalism to English halfway through the year and didn’t know if I had made the right decision. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and felt lost.

I did go back to school for my sophomore year, partly because I didn’t know what else to do or where else to go, but also because I knew that earning a college degree was a necessity. But in all honesty, my heart was just not in it. Everything changed winter quarter of that year. I was taking an Early American Literature class with a professor I did not know. As it turned out, she prob-ably saved my college career.

Her class inspired and enthralled me. The class discussions were lively and interest-ing. The readings were entertaining and thought-provoking. The assignments were rewarding and fun. I felt like I was learning so much. I now knew that the English major was right for me, and college was definitely where I wanted and needed to be. I gradu-ated from college a year ago and am grate-

ful for the education I received everyday.

There is no doubt that entering and fin-ishing college is challenging. But you have to stick with it. If you find yourself strug-gling, be patient and find something that you love, that can carry you to the finish line. It can be a certain professor, a par-ticular class, a campus group or an extra-curricular activity, just to name a few. You might still have a paper that you don’t want to write, or readings that you don’t under-stand, but if you can hold on to what you do love about college, you will get through the bad and cherish the good.

Earning a college degree is so important. A year after graduation I am already seeing it all pay off for me. I have a job that I love, one that I could not be doing without my degree. Was this job waiting for the day after I graduated? Certainly not; in fact my job search was long and stressful. But it was all worth it. Working hard in high school, writing college admission essays, taking numerous final exams, writing my senior thesis, sending out resumes, and going to job interviews have all led me to where I am today. I am so glad I persevered and gradu-ated from college. So far, it is the most im-portant accomplishment of my life.

Doc WestThe Ohio State UniversityMifflin High School

I knew I couldget through school, but I really had to buckle down and change my ways. I struggled my first two years of school. I really began to feel that I could n o t c o m p l e t e

college. I stuck with it though. With the help of Jesus, my father and my two mentors;

We asked I Know I Can alumni to reflect on their post-secondary education and give advice to younger students as they follow in their footsteps and work hard to achieve their dreams.

AlumniI Know I Can...

I was able to persevere. I now have a bache-lors degree in Elementary Education, a mas-ters in Elementary Education and a masters in School Administration.

My college habits had to get better, before I was going to get better. I was used to just skating by in high school. I focused my first few quarters of college, but then I began to slack off. It was a wake up call when I had to sit out a quarter from school because I had messed up that much in college. When I was reinstated at The Ohio State University, I had a whole new agenda. I received some advice from my mentor, Mr. Larry William-son. He stated that you should treat each class like it is a heavyweight fight. Train for 9 weeks (length of each class), then “knock that class out.” He showed me how to con-quer each and every class by doing exactly what you need to do and even more. On top of that, my father told me that instead of wasting time complaining about all the tasks that you have to do, just get to them because you waste more time complaining about them. With my mentors and my fa-ther, I started doing better in school.

I became very diligent and improved my organizational habits and study habits. I had a routine that I followed each day. I looked at all things that were distractions

for me and slowly began cutting them out; friends, family, telephone, television and the refrigerator. I also made it a point to go and see my professors at least once a quarter outside of class. I went to see them even if I was doing well in their classes. I developed a mental plan and implemented it each day. Today, our college students have even more distractions in their way. You have to stay focused and get to know yourself. I knew that I needed to be focused seven days a week. Many college students may or may not use the weekends to keep up with work. I worked hard studying on weekends but also gave myself a little bit of free time. You have to keep that balance. Overall, college students have to plan out how they are going to conquer each class and the business part of school. Making copies of all documents for their records, talking to the right people, etc are all re-ally important things to do too. College was educational, fun, and it developed me into the professional that I am today. College graduation is attainable. Proper Prepara-tion Prevents Poor Performance. I had to always be prepared to perform when the time came to perform. No Excuses. “When the time to perform has come, the time to prepare has passed." -Bob Bowman, Michael Phelps' Coach

In Memory of Adolphus Andrews

This past year, i Know i can lost a dear friend and colleague, Dr. Adolphus (Andy) Andrews, who passed away on October 27, 2008.

A graduate of Howard University and a lifelong educator, Andy joined i Know i can as a retention specialist in 2005 and went on to work for the organization for three

academic years. He set up the i Know i can retention office at Central State University and directly impacted the lives of hundreds of students. After Andy retired from the Air Force, he spent seven years prior to i Know i can serving as the Vice President of

Administration and Finance at Central State University. He was a truly valued member of the i Know i can team and was respected by all who knew him. Andy believed that all students had potential. He pushed students to excel academically, helped them get involved in campus life, and encouraged them to be the best they can be. We miss him

greatly and will remember him always.


Celebrating 20 YearsCelebrating 20 years in 2008 was a milestone for i Know i can. This important anniversary served as a unique opportunity to reflect on i Know i can’s two de-cades of providing FAFSA, financial aid, and college admission advising services to CCS students, not to mention awarding more than $23 Million in Last Dollar Grants to district graduates to help off-set the ever growing tuition costs that too often make it difficult to stay and complete a college education.

i Know i can’s 20th Anniversary bash, held on Tuesday, November 11th at CCAD’s Canzani Center, proved to be a very special way to celebrate this momentous milestone. With nearly 400 guests in attendance that evening, i Know i can shared its gratitude with countless supporters and community leaders who have helped ensure the organization’s success. Thank you again to all who attended; we are truly grateful for the many who support our mis-sion and believe in the limitless potential of CCS students.

A special thank you to the i Know i can’s 20th Anniversary planning committee, the event’s Honorary Chairs, and the host committee for their hard work and contributions. The night will be remembered for many years to come. Most importantly, thank you again to our founders: Arthur Kobacker, Teckie Shackelford, Cliff Tyree & Robert Weiler for making their vision a reality.

College ReflectionsWritten By Katina Fullen, I Know I Can Executive Director

Looking back, my earliest memories of college are actually from elementary and middle school. I clearly remember my mother trying to juggle a family, full-time job, and college courses at night. I can still picture her sitting at our dining room table struggling over a math assignment and my father patiently tutoring her until she got it. My mom was working toward be-coming a Registered Nurse. My dad went straight to the steel mill after high school but could teach a cal-culus course with minimal effort. Watching and learn-ing from my parents, I dreamt big from a young age and aspired to attend Harvard University. I still have a photo taken of me wearing a Harvard sweatshirt that I bought from a street vendor while on my 8th grade class trip to Washington DC. (Picture permed hair and shiny braces!) I told everyone who would listen that I was headed to Cambridge upon graduation. I worked hard all through middle and high school trying to keep up my grades, take the right courses, and was involved

in extracurricular activities. Look out Cambridge, 'cause I was on my way.

Fast forward to my junior and senior years of high school when it came time to visit colleges, meet with admissions reps, and complete college applications. I had no idea what to do or where to begin. I needed help but didn't know quite how to ask for it. I ended up visiting one college - Capital University. I selected it because three friends were also interested in attend-ing Capital and because my aunt lived in Columbus. I met with one admission rep from - Capital University. I completed one college application for - you guessed it - Capital University. Fortunately for me, Capital was the perfect fit. It was a small campus in the "big city" and my three best friends going with me. Despite changing my major three times, I attained a bachelors degree in education and a law degree both from Capital Univer-sity. Along with the two degrees, however, I acquired over $114,000 in student loan debt. Despite the hefty

bill, I graduated thankful for the college path I took. I dreamt big. I worked hard. But who had been there to help me as I chose my college path?

I sometimes wonder what path I would have taken if someone had stepped in to help me. Would I have chosen another college? Would I have accumulated so much debt? Regardless of the "what ifs," I know now that I am one of the lucky ones. I made Capital work for me and am a proud alumna. I am able to pay off, even if it's over 20 years, my student loan debt.

My path, unclear and uncertain at times, has led me to dedicate my career to education, particularly help-ing students get on track, stay on track, and make smart decisions about college and careers. So, here I am doing what I love best, what I dreamt about, and what I worked hard to achieve. Now that it's my turn to help, I know I can make a difference. The question is, will you?
