Poor Black DC Student With 4.3 GPA Accepted Into 5 Ivy League Schools

This is the college acceptance season — frequently a nervous time for high school seniors. But D.C.’s Avery Coffey can relax. He applied to five Ivy League universities and all five accepted him.

Via My Fox DC reports:

Coffey attends Benjamin Banneker Academic High School, a D.C. public school with strict rules. None of the 439 students at Banneker is allowed to bring a cell phone into the building. They are also not allowed to go to their lockers during the school day. (That has spawned the peculiar tradition of piling up textbooks at the base of lockers, so kids can switch books between classes without violating the locker rule.)

The strict rules at Banneker have fostered a rather serious academic environment. Principal Anita Berger says year after year after year, 100 percent of Banneker graduates are accepted into post-secondary institutions.

Among these brainy and motivated public school students is 17-year-old Coffey who, like a lot of kids, enjoys sports. What does he play?

“Baseball, basketball, tennis, soccer,” Coffey told us.

He also enjoys academics, and he has a 4.3 high school report card average, adjusted for the demanding International Baccalaureate courses he takes. Coffey scored very high on standardized tests also. He calls himself a “determined” student.

Coffey applied to five Ivy League universities, and, amazingly, has been accepted at all of them: Harvard, Princeton, Yale, the University of Pennsylvania, and Brown.

And four of the five universities have already offered very generous financial aid packages. (Harvard is still formulating its offer.)

Avery Coffey wants to major in finance. What’s the perfect job?

“I guess probably the CEO of an investment (or management consulting) firm. I guess pretty much overseeing acquisitions or transactions between large companies. Hopefully, Fortune 500 companies,” Coffey told us with a grin.

Coffey grew up in a single-parent household in D.C.’s Ward 8, the poorest part of the city. His mom works as a technician at Children’s Hospital.

Avery’s advice to younger kids?

“You can go anywhere you want to, pursue any career that you want to, and you shouldn’t let anybody hinder you from trying to reach your goals,” he said.

Coffee hasn’t yet made up his mind as to which college to attend. But he says he’s leaning toward Penn or Harvard.

Congrats!

Woman Faces Jail After Posting About Drinking On Facebook While On Probation

Her dumbazz belongs in jail.

According to Click On Detroit:

It was the day after St. Patrick’s Day when Colleen Cudney was called in for a random breathalyzer test. The 22-year-old was put on probation for a drunken driving conviction in 2012. After Cudney took the test at the probation office in Westland, she logged on to Facebook and counted her blessings.

Investigators say she posted this: “Buzz killer for me, I had to breathalyze (sic) this morning and I drank yesterday but I passed thank god lol my dumba@@.”

“I hope they throw the book at you young lady because it’s sad that you did something like that because you could hurt someone or kill someone,” Brown said.

A Westland police officer saw her post that morning and notified the probation office. When a probation officer called Cudney to return to the office for a urine test, she hung up the phone.

Probation officials say that was a violation of her probation. It was set to end in a few weeks.

A urine test would have detected if Cudney had anything to drink in the 80 hours prior to taking it, probation officials said.

Cudney is due in court on April 1st for a probation hearing. She could be sentenced to 93 days in jail.

Joe Budden Posts Anti-Sikh Racist Picture On Instagram

Via HuffPo reports:

Joe Budden, an American rapper and member of the hip hop group Slaughterhouse, is receiving some social media attention, and it’s not because of his music.

On Friday, Twitter user Fateh Singh (@FatedDOE) posted a photo he came across on Budden’s Instagram account depicting a man wearing a turban and standing in an airport security line. Budden’s accompanying caption read, “Not on my watch Homeboy!

Many Twitter users joined in the dialogue, expressing their anger over Budden’s photo.

Budden’s response may fall short of what Reddit user “european_douchebag” did after posting a mocking photo of Ohio State student and observant Sikh Balpreet Kaur. The Redditor offered an apology, saying, “Making fun of people is funny to some but incredibly degrading to the people you’re making fun of. It was an incredibly rude, judgmental, and ignorant thing to post.”

Budden did, however, remove the post from his Instagram account, though the rapper’s publicist did not respond to HuffPost’s request for comment.

The photo may be gone, but it appears the damage has been done.

Epitome Of A Bad Mother: Mentally Disturbed Woman Stabs 4-Year-Old Son To Death With Kitchen Knife

Mom Stabs Son To Death With Kitchen Knife

This is so sad.

According to Tampa Bay Times:

Sherry Ford heard screams coming from outside her home Friday evening and stepped out the front door.

On the sidewalk across the street, a woman held her 4-year-old son in her arms. His head rested against her shoulder, his bottom was cupped in her hands.

The boy didn’t move. The mother held a kitchen knife.

“Let him go, let him go, let him go,” said the boy’s grandmother, who stood next to the woman and child.

The mother responded by pressing the knife against her son’s ribs, Ford said.

Neighbors flagged down nearby police officers, who arrived and saw the boy was significantly injured. Officers told the woman to hand over the child. She laid him on the grass. The officers took her into custody and began treating the boy.

Police said he suffered multiple stab wounds inflicted by his mother, Tasha Trotter, 40. Investigators on Friday night were trying to sort out why Trotter killed her son. She refused to talk to detectives and later was taken to the Pinellas County Jail on a first-degree murder charge.

Police said family members told investigators that she has a history of mental illness and has been in and out of several treatment facilities.

If her mental illness was better treated, maybe this senseless tragedy could have been avoided.

Wow… Funny enough she deleted that tweet soon after.

Fortunately we are Quick Draw McGraws over here so we got a screen cap before it went bye bye.

Interestingly enough, while Nene deleted her tweet she retweeted some other folks who seemed to be putting batteries in her back:

Fair Or Too Far? Mother Furious After Her 5th-Grade Son Was Forced To Clean Toilets In Detention

Mother Outraged After Son Is Forced To Clean Toilets In Detention

Schools across the country have been keeping their promise to begin cracking down harder on unruly students in every grade level, but one Maryland woman says her son’s school went too far after she learned that he was forced to clean toilets as punishment during detention.

via MyFox Detroit

One Maryland mother is furious after learning her 5th grade son was forced to clean during an after school detention.

Henry Hawkins is a 5th grader at Longfields Elementary School in Forestville, MD.

The boy says he got into an argument with a classmate, and his mother says she received a dentition notice for the boy.

“He asked, mommy, do you like to clean toilets?,” Neshanna Turner said.

Turner says a photo taken shows the boy scrubbing a desk during the detention. The boy says he also had to clean toilets, push a cart around and put chairs on desks in classrooms.

Even worse, Turner says that the boy suffers from asthma. The 5th grader even had to stay home from school on Thursday because he was not feeling well.

“If you want to give them detention, that’s fine,” Turner said, “Have them come in, sit down, do their homework, give them an essay or a writing assignment.”

Kids most definitely need to suffer consequences for acting up in school so they know not to do it again, but do you think this school went too far?

This takes family feud to another level…

Benzino’s Nephew Pleads Not Guilty After Shooting Him At Mom’s Funeral

The nephew who allegedly shot his uncle, reality star and rapper Benzino while both were in the funeral cortege for the family matriarch opened fire while the procession was on Route 3 in Duxbury to protect himself, the nephew’s attorney said today.

Via Boston Globe reports:

Gai Scott appeared in Plymouth District Court today to face a charge of armed assault with intent to murder. A not-guilty plea was entered on his behalf by attorney Jon Ciraulo. Scott, 36, of Randolph is accused of shooting his uncle, Raymond E. Scott, 48, a rapper and reality star known by the stage name of Benzino.

“When the dust settles, this case will be shown to be self-defense,’’ Ciraulo said.

Gai Scott was ordered held without bail pending a dangerousness hearing requested by Plymouth District Attorney Timothy J. Cruz’s office.

The bizarre incident took place on Route 3 South on Saturday.

Raymond Scott told the Globe Sunday from his bed at the South Shore Hospital in Weymouth that he did not intend to attend his mother’s funeral in order to avoid trouble stemming from a festering family feud.

Gai Scott appeared in Plymouth District Court today to face a charge of armed assault with intent to murder.

“I looked over, there was a car, and all I saw was a gun shooting at me,” Scott said in a telephone interview. He would not identify who shot him by name, but said the assailant fired seven or eight shots at him.

Scott was discharged from the hospital shortly after 11 a.m. today and could not immediately be reached to respond to the assertions by his nephew’s defense attorney that he had acted in defense. But Scott’s long-time attorney, Martin K. Leppo, responded on the elder Scott’s behalf.

“Six shots into Ray Scott’s car, and he chased him on the highway,’’ said Leppo, a veteran criminal and civil attorney. “That doesn’t sound like self-defense to me.’’

Leppo also insisted that Scott had decided against attending the funeral for his mother, Mary Scott, and was enroute to pickup a friend in Plymouth when he chanced upon the funeral entourage. He also said that tension between branches of the Scott family stemmed from Raymond Scott’s belief that his mother’s property and finances were misused by his sister’s family.

Scott grew up in Dorchester and was part of a rap group that infuriated Boston police officers in the early 1990s for an anti-police rap. He was a founder of the rap magazine, The Source. Scott is a cast member of the VH1 reality show ‘‘Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta” and is chief executive of Hip-Hop Weekly.

Audio Recording Of Kenya Moore’s 9-1-1 Call Following Fight With Porsha Williams

An audio recording of Kenya Moore’s 9-1-1 call following her RHOA reunion brawl with fellow cast member Porsha Williams has now hit the internet.

via TMZ

“Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Kenya Moore is completely fed up with Porsha Williams’ violent BS — at least that’s how she sounded on the 911 call she placed … moments after Porsha allegedly attacked her.

You can practically feel Kenya rolling her eyes as she grudgingly answers the emergency dispatcher’s questions on the phone, deadpanning, “I’ve just been assaulted.” She also goes into more detail about the attack on the call.

As we reported, Porsha and Kenya exploded on each other last Thursday during the taping of the “RHOA” reunion special.

SMH at Kenya calling 9-1-1 when there was more than likely plenty of security and police officers on deck already. This reunion is sure to be one to remember.

You can listen to the full audio call. HERE.

Lindsay Lohan’s Assistant Quits Because She Can’t Afford To Pay Him

Lindsay Lohan still can’t seem to catch a break….

via Radar Online

Its hard to find good help these days — especially if you’re Lindsay Lohan. RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned that the controversial actress’ long-suffering assistant Matt Harrell has quit because the troubled starlet couldn’t afford to pay him after production on her self titled reality show, for Oprah Winfrey OWN network wrapped.

“Matt had moved from Los Angeles to New York City to work for Lindsay…..” a source tells Radar exclusively. “He is extremely professional and very good at his job. Previously Matt had worked for Prince and to say working for Lindsay was difficult and chaotic would be an understatement.”

But once production on her reality show concluded, LiLo told Harrell she couldn’t keep him on.

“Matt still agreed to accompany Lindsay to do press for the show,” the source says. ”He even went with her for her appearance on Ellen. He is hoping to get another job with another celebrity by helping Lindsay out.”

Viewers of the OWN show recently saw Lindsay and Harrell getting increasingly upset about how he couldn’t get her to talk to him about his duties.

Our source goes on to say, “Lindsay would love to have Matt back as her assistant, but she just cant’ afford him. He did a really good job for her.”

The struggle is real…..even in Hollyweird.
