Rasheedah
Woodward
Rasheedah Woodward credits MOSTE with providing her an opportunity to interact with female role models. One of the fond memories Rasheedah has is the MOSTE-sponsored “Take Your Daughter to Work Day.” During her day at Paramount Studios, Rasheedah made contacts with various professionals, one of whom ultimately became another mentor in her life.
Always a tough girl, Rasheedah states that MOSTE taught her “how to be a lady” and the rules of etiquette. Rasheedah believes that her participation in MOSTE taught her to drop her guard and to smile. When asked what she would like to convey to potential donors to, or prospective mentors for, the MOSTE program, Rasheedah answered in a matter of fact manner, “We need more programs like MOSTE in the schools of all of the states because it helps to build strong willed people, strong girls.”
Academic excellence set Rasheedah apart from her peers at an early age. MOSTE rewarded Rasheedah’s dedication to academics with a $1500 Incentive Scholarship when she graduated from Mt. Vernon Middle School. In June 2004, upon graduating from high school, MOSTE recognized her continued commitment to higher learniing with a $3,000 Achievement Scholarship.
Rasheedah is currently a freshman at the University of California Berkeley, majoring in Psychology.
