‘YOU HAVE TO WORK BEYOND SWEAT’

SKYVIEW ELEMENTARY PRINCIPAL’S QUEST FOR CAMARADERIE

KATRINA COLLINS is an amalgamation of a cheerleader and a hype man.

Skyview Elementary’s new principal also is a social worker coaxing children to admit if something is wrong. Sometimes she’s an event planner coordinating after-school events with local organizations and volunteers.

Collins dashes through the hallways doling out handshakes, high fives or hugs every morning. She’s ecstatic when a kindergartener approaches her in mid-March, points to a classmate and announces, “Hey, I was telling him we’re scholars because we’re thinkers.” Collins replaced the word “student” with “scholar” the first day of school so that the kids believe their education matters.

Collins has vowed to increase homeowner and parental involvement at the elementary school, where 36 languages are spoken and about 87 percent of students are of low socio-economic status.

“I love the schools that are a challenge,” Collins says. “These are campuses

About 20 parents volunteered to chaperone the elementary school’s Valentine’s Day dance, and about a dozen volunteered for a field trip this May.

“If the kids feel parents are empowered and equally welcomed, it builds their dignity. They feel valued. Their parents feel valued, and it builds their self-esteem.”

Collins previously was the assistant principal at Richardson West Arts and Technology Magnet Junior High. She started her career in education 20 years ago. Her energy carried her through her bachelor’s and master’s degrees.

Born in Tyler, Texas, to a workingclass family, Collins was an exceptional high school student who balanced student council, Latin club, honors classes, cheerleading and waitressing at a family-owned Italian restaurant. She graduated in the top 10 percent of her class and imagined being an U.S. Air Force pilot and nurse.

Her father nixed the idea of his only daughter risking her life in an airplane. Devastated, Collins enrolled at Stephen F. Austin State University with an undeclared major.

“I was always the mother hen. I was always the one who did all the babysitting in my family,” she says. “It dawned on me I was really good with kids.”

She decided to become a teacher, but Collins’ plans once again derailed when she and her then-

fiancé learned she was pregnant. He and her family insisted she return to Tyler to finish college. They got married, and she still graduated in less than five years with a 3.5 GPA.

In 2004, after Collins and her husband divorced, she moved to the Dallas area as a single parent. She enrolled in a master’s program in 2005 while teaching full-time and raising her then 2- and 8-year old sons.

“It goes back to what my mom and dad always said: There’s nothing I thought I couldn’t achieve,” she says.

Collins met a man named Robert, and they married in 2017. One of her sons is in high school, and one is an agricultural business major who’s recently returned from study abroad.

She’s determined to develop the same resilience she has in students with what she calls the hug-kick method: embrace them, then kick them to the finish line.

“Everything taught me a lot,” she says. “It made me appreciative of the journey. I’m process-oriented instead of goal-oriented.”

WANT A QUINTESSENTIAL LAKE HIGHLANDS COCKTAIL? Try Cedar & Vine, whose drinks are inspired by the people and places of our neighborhood. Bar manager Tara Dieringer has worked in the area for only a few months, but her regulars already gave her the 411. We’re a place with a small-town feel, where everyone knows everyone. So how do you make a cocktail that reflects who we are?

DRINK

Story by CHRISTIAN WELCH Photography by KATHY TRAN

FLAGHANGER

1.5 oz Basil Hayden’s Bourbon

.75 oz lemon

.75 oz ginger simple syrup

top with Johnny Walker Black Scotch garnish with a luxardo cherry

Dieringer used the story of the Lake Highlands High School Flaghangers as the inspiration behind this cocktail. For those who don’t know, The Flaghangers were a small spirit group who played pranks on rivals teams like, say, replacing the opposing team’s flag with their own. Over time the group’s pranks became darker — more like a fraternity than a spirit squad — and became an “underground club” without school sponsorship. Like the history of the Flaghangers, the cocktail that is both dark and light. The dark, bitter liquors play off the brightness of the lemon and ginger.

RESTAURANT GUIDE

L-STREETS MARGARITA

1.5 oz raspberry-infused tequila

.5 oz Triple Sec

.75 oz simple syrup

.5 oz lime juice

.25 oz lemon juice

muddled jalapeño

garnish with lime and fresh jalapeño

The L-Streets Margarita is something familiar, but not without surprises. The cocktail is sweet with a hint of spice, thanks to the muddled jalapeño. The L Streets is a rarity in Dallas, because they’ve managed to preserve many of the original homes. The neighborhood, much like the cocktail, is sweet, consistent and something everyone knows.

STORIES OF INSPIRATION, RESILIENCE AND HOPE FROM THE CLASS OF 2019

FULGENCIO

BAILEY POWERS W

hen Bailey Powers was 10 years old, her parents struck a deal: They’d give her $100 if she’d stop coughing.

Bailey couldn’t control the incessant hacking sounds that escaped from her throat. She repeatedly ran into the bathroom and covered her face in a towel to muffle the noise.

Her family and teachers were convinced she coughed, squealed or cleared her throat because she craved attention. In reality, Bailey had a vocal tic disorder that she wouldn’t be diagnosed with until fifth grade.

At 18, Bailey has overcome a host of mental health issues and physical ailments: polycystic ovarian syndrome, anxiety, depression, obsessive compulsive disorder and excoriation disorder, or chronic skin-picking. Classmates have bullied her because of her appearance and beliefs.

“I don’t ever want anybody to feel that way,” she says. “I want to do as much as I can to help others feel accepted.”

Bailey’s compassion and confidence are striking when she talks about her accomplishments at Lake Highlands High School and her goals for the University of North Texas. Bailey is president of her high school’s third-wave feminist club, where she organized a coin drive for Genesis Women’s Shelter. Self-de-

scribed as an intersectional feminist, Bailey defines her beliefs as “loving everyone equally and thinking everyone should have the same opportunities.” She joined the school’s Gay-Straight Alliance, and she was the only student who volunteered to give a presentation during Black History Month.

“There are some kids who don’t agree with me and think it’s a good idea to make fun of me or personally attack me. It’s not fun, but I’ve learned not to take it personally.”

Bailey is contemplating a career as a therapist at a juvenile detention center. She says counseling troubled kids appeals to her because they often don’t have access to needed mental health care.

“Here she is at 16, 17, 18, making major waves and doing it unapologetically and unafraid,” AVID coordinator Matthew Morris says. “There’s a fine line between confidence and humility that she navigates so gracefully in spaces … Looking at her, you realize this is a fireball. This is a force to be reckoned with.”

Unapologetic + unafraid

20 lakehighlands.advocatemag.com may 2019

Bailey’s instincts to advocate for others haven’t always translated to her own well-being. Depression, anxiety and OCD have been an omnipresent part of her life since she was a preteen, she says.

OCD did not manifest itself as cleanliness or germaphobia as it’s commonly portrayed, she says. Bailey monitored the number of steps she took to be sure they were even. If she bumped her left elbow on accident, she’d do the same to her right elbow. Before a cross country race, she’d obsess over whether the tongues of her running shoes were straight.

Depression exacerbated when her father, a recovering alcoholic, relapsed.

“I started down a bad path where I was not thinking safe thoughts,” she says.

Bailey spent several days in the hospital for suicidal thoughts when she was a junior. She continued therapy when she was released. She acknowledges recovery is a process, but she’s learning how to cope with the hard days. She confides in her dad, who also sought treatment and has been sober for more than a year. Bailey prioritizes simple things that bring her joy, whether it’s watching a TV show at night or going thrift shopping.

She’s resilient, she says, and is determined that conversations about mental illness combat the stigma surrounding it.

“I’m most proud of myself that no matter what happens — just continuing to live and look forward to things.”

ily in debt, and they lived paycheck-to-paycheck while mourning the loss of their mother.

“Music was everything after my mom passed away,” she says. “It was a way for me to express myself and feel free.”

Her sister signed her up for softball. In junior high she applied for the Advancement Via Individual Determination program, where her teachers encouraged her emotionally and academically.

Her brother moved to Texas for more job opportunities in 2013, and the rest of the family followed a few years later. Their financial burden lessened but didn’t disappear.

“That’s how it’s always been,” she says. “We make it work.”

Barbara enrolled in Lake Highlands High School and immediately noticed that lessons at her new school were regimented. There was more homework, too. She joined AVID once again.“I wouldn’t be anywhere without my AVID family,” she says.

Barbara has managed to stay at the top of her class while joining choir, Spanish club, National Honor Society, Girls Service League Inc. and the third-wave feminist club. She was her junior class officer and softball captain.

Now she’s devoting her attention to advocacy work and is considering law school after college. At 18, she already has her hand in local politics. She is a member of the Mayor’s Rising Star Council (MRSC), and City Councilman Adam McGough appointed her to the Youth Commission for District 10.

McGough and MRSC co-founder Christie Myers have watched Raygoza transform from an introverted student to an assertive, open-minded leader. Even without a car, Barbara rarely misses a meeting. She considers McGough and Myers mentors, but they also value her perspective.

“Her determination and her willingness to serve well and be an advocate for her community and for her city is really impressive,” Myers says.

Her critical thinking skills and ability to listen separate Barbara from teens and even adults, McGough says. It’s why, during a trip to Washington D.C., he pointed to a podium at Capitol Hill and told Barbara she’ll give speeches there one day.

“She just has grit,” McGough says. “Whatever it is, you just know she’s going to be able to deal with the situation and thrive in it. I trust her. I trust her judgment.”

“Even if I had a million dollars, I’m not going to live in a mansion,” he says.

The Lake Highlands High School student insists the only thing he’d change about his life is having his own home. He isn’t the type to ask for what he needs or accept favors. He’s adamant about appearing humble and positive.

When he does answer questions about his life, he

ends every explanation with a variation of “but it’s OK.”

Being vulnerable is more difficult than juggling school, football practice and a nearly full-time job at Jersey Mike’s. Admitting when he feels lonely is harder than attending sports award banquets without anyone.

Denzel knows everyone, he says, but not many people know much about his life.

“Sometimes I say it’s not fair,” Denzel says. “I have to accept that not everyone has the same life.”

The aspiring politician and standout football player has

a complicated relationship with his grandmother, mom and two siblings. He’s never met his father.

Denzel was shuffled between homes throughout his childhood. He lived with his grandmother from prekindergarten to fourth grade. They returned to their mother’s house, where they lived until eighth grade.

Her then-husband had volatile tendencies, so he and his brother moved back into their grandmother’s house in Garland when Denzel started high school, he says. His mother, her husband and his sister moved to San Antonio.

Denzel says he financially supports himself. By 14, he had a job at Valley View AMC and by 15, he was promoted to shift lead. He made employees’ schedules and interviewed applicants. Despite the responsibility he held at work, Denzel struggled with behaving in school, he says. He skipped class, and his grades were bad.

His freshman year, Denzel was sent to in-school suspension. A football coach overseeing the room looked at him and said “You know you’re starting football tomorrow, right?”

Denzel became a lineman for the Wildcats. His grades improved, and so did his behavior.

“Football was the only thing pushing me to be better,” he says. He received

"He's resilient. "

about 14 collegiate offers but chose to attend Wayland Baptist University in the Texas panhandle to play football in the fall.

Denzel found stability outside of school when his friends introduced him to a Young Life mentor. They met twice a week for ice cream or dinner. A few months later, while Denzel was eating dinner with his teammates at his mentor’s house, he asked Denzel to move in with him and his wife.

He was guaranteed a consistent home until graduation.

“I can say it was the highlight of my life,” he says. “I’ve been alive for 17 years. I’ve been struggling myself my whole life.”

But then his mentor and his wife wanted to sta1t a family and needed more space. So Denzel moved into a friend’s house in January.

Denzel says he doesn’t trust people when they offer to help, because he’s concerned their interest co mes with a cost. Besides AVID coordinator Matthew Monis and his assistant principal Dr. Herb Ruffin, he doesn’t confide in many people.

“He’s resilient,” Morris says.

“He’s persistent even though he can be inconsistent. He’s open to feedback, which is big for someone who is strong-willed to be able to sit down and listen to someone else.”

His grades have slipped, but Denzel is determined to be thought of as someone besides a football player. He wants to study social work and communications. He’s considering running for office, and he says his first priority would be improving education.

Maybe he’ll have a family in the future, he says, and he can tell his children how much he overcame.

“People don’t know I do all this stuff;’ he says. “I just know it.”

‘I HAVE TO MEET YOU AT YOUR SOUL’

“I’m not a parent, but I’m a parent,” he says. “I take AVID as family seriously. You might say there’s a fine line, but I live in the gray area.”

The San Antonio native is a series of contradictions. He’s an outgoing introvert who doesn’t consider anyone a stranger. He says his life is simple because he devotes his time to helping complex people. Then he mentions his days can be hectic. Besides his career, he is set to be president of the Huston-Tillotson University International Alumni Association and volunteers at One Community Church.

Students confide in him but also say he’s intimidating.

“I have to meet you at your soul, which is scary for a lot of kids,” he says.

Morris had no intentions of teaching as a student himself at Huston-Tillotson, a small historically black university in Austin. As a first-generation college student, Morris imagined himself leading a university after earning his Ph.D.

A community service trip to New Orleans changed that plan. He and his classmates were repairing houses when they met an elderly woman at risk of losing her home.

Her circumstances troubled Morris so much that he organized a fundraiser to pay off her debt. Then he realized he needed to rearrange his priorities, he says. “I believe in something greater than me. We’re not in life to be isolated and alone.”

WHY LAKE HIGHLANDS HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS NEED MATTHEW MORRIS

Story by ELISSA CHUDWIN | Photography by DANNY FULGENCIO

Matthew Morris is everyone’s uncle.

While visiting his family in San Antonio, he checked on a former Lake Highlands High School student who attends college there. He took the freshman and his teammates out for breakfast and bought them groceries.

Morris is the coordinator of

Lake Highlands High School’s Advancement Via Individual Determination program, which prepares students for college through developing their writing, inquiry, collaboration, organization and reading skills. The support he offers students outside of the classroom defines his career as much as his daily lessons.

He volunteered with AmeriCorps VISTA at the University of Texas-San Antonio in the equity and volunteer services office and then earned his master’s degree from Columbia University. The student debt was crippling, he says, but he doesn’t regret living in New York City.

After a short-lived stint as a special education teacher, Morris found his niche as AVID coordinator at Lake Highlands High School. The most rewarding moments, he says, are the ones where students are listening when he doesn’t think they were.

“I always say Lake Highlands High School is the perfect place to change the world,” he says. “It’s a beautiful mix of traditional and innovative, poor and wealthy, family and isolation. Black, white, Hispanic, Asian. It’s the perfect opportunity to change the world. My daily question is: Are we doing it?”

PLANTING A PIECE OF HOME

CHURCHGOERS, REFUGEES AND TODDLERS CONVENE AT THIS LOCAL GARDEN

MOST GREENVILLE AVENUE passersby don’t notice churchgoers and refugees tending to fresh herbs and vegetables at The Episcopal Church of Ascension’s community garden. They don’t see the preschoolers inspect lettuce or the Rev. Paul Klitzke’s 120-pound dog, Dwayne, meander through mulch walkways. Minus the occasional reprimand, the unofficial church mascot knows not to step on the asparagus, cabbage and peas.

“My favorite times are when we’re all out there together and really learn from each other,” garden leader Diane Haack says. “We have some really amazing, knowledgeable gardeners.”

But even Haack was perplexed when she saw fresh produce on a picnic table for the first time almost a decade ago.

“I was just thrilled,” she says. “I didn’t know there was a garden out there.”

Haack oversees 21 garden beds outlined with stone. Neighbors rent each bed for $70

per year, but Haack makes exceptions for families who can’t afford it.

Refugees from countries such as Sudan, Uganda and Myanmar use the plots to grow vegetables that they can’t buy at grocery stores. Some grow okra until it’s the size of a squash and use it to create flour.

“They can have traditional foods that they wouldn’t have otherwise,” Klitzke says.

Two of the garden beds grow vegetables that are donated to the food pantry, which is open the first and third Tuesday of every month and serves 18 to 25 people. More than 500 pounds of produce were given to the food pantry in 2018.

“What’s exciting, too, for us is we’re going to be able to expand the food pantry and serve more people,” Mother Marci Pounders says. “They can come, have a cup of coffee and not feel like they’re doing something below their dignity level.”

Led Zeppelin got it wrong

The stairway to heaven leads back to earth

Religion travels a two-way road that moves traffic from earth to heaven and from heaven to earth. Or maybe it’s a staircase, not a road. It’s more like the one Jacob saw in his dream than the one Led Zeppelin sang about.

The biblical story of Jacob is known to Jews, Christians and Muslims alike. The wily patriarch, who would become the namesake of Israel, lies down for the night with a stone for a pillow, which might explain his fitful sleep. He dreams of a staircase connecting heaven and earth.

place, and I did not know it!”

The story of Jacob’s ladder is biblical, but it becomes Scripture when it becomes a script for us. When we read ourselves into Jacob, we can wake to realize that the Lord is in this place, wherever it may be, and we can come to know it.

The English poet, Malcolm Guite, nudges us to wakefulness with this call to prayer in his sonnet, “Singing Bowl.” (The title is like those bowls that sound when you run your finger or a spoon around the rim.)

“Begin the song exactly where you are/ Remain within the world of which you’re made/ Call nothing common in the earth or air/ Accept it all and let it be for good.”

And let it be for good in the sense of all that’s right and in the sense of what abides forever.

Then this: “Become an open singing bowl, whose chime/ Is richness rising out of emptiness/ And timelessness resounding into time/ And when the heart is full of quietness/ Begin the song exactly where you are.”

Angels go up and down this ramp, which probably looks more like a Mesopotamian temple than a ladder. Jacob’s ladders are rope rigs that get you on and off ships in the middle of the ocean.

Oddly, the angels go up and down, not down and up. Does that suggest we’ve had it wrong? Are they more at home among us than beyond us? Either way, they are messengers, and in this dream, they bring words of blessing and promise that God will be with Jacob in that land, right where he slept.

Faith is active and contemplative. Loving your neighbor is the visible sign of loving the invisible God. Both God and neighbor are present at every moment, but God is the one most easily missed or overlooked.

Opening ourselves to the presence of God exactly where we are, and at any moment, puts us on a stairway to heaven. Or to earth.
