Fourteen year-old Malyk Davis will study cooking, or "culinary arts," at the Obama Academy in Dallas. He has already learned from a professional chef. However, he was not so sure he wanted to attend a school only for boys, and he heard bad things about the area.
MALYK DAVIS: “But once I began to looking into more about the options that they were having, I think I’m really going to enjoy this. It’s going to be a long and tough road, but as long as I’m graduating in twenty fifteen, that’s all that matters to me.”
Most students who want to be accepted into the Obama Academy will need to have good grades and pass a number of tests. But ten to fifteen percent will not have to meet all of the entrance requirements. Principal Nakia Douglas says they will have to show they have a strong character and a desire to learn.
