Standout Student
Student Profile:
Summer Robinson North Springs High School, senior Some students spend their summers on pool decks, beaches or phones texting their friends, but North Springs senior Summer Robinson had different plans. During June and July, Summer traveled to Ethiopia and Ghana with Black to Our Roots, a two-year program that promotes African cultural values. While there, Summer immersed herself in the culture, she took in the sights and had lively interactions with the people. “The trip was really eye opening for me and everyone else; it made me realize how sheltered I am living here in the United States,” Summer said. Each participating student is assigned different tasks for the trip. Summer’s task was to produce a documentary of the group’s trip, highlighting everyone’s experience and reflections. For Summer, this was the quintessential project, as it aligned with her love for film. Her fellow travelers loved her artistic creation. One of the trip advisors, Shevon Myers, was delighted with the film. “It was refreshing to hear her recount the experiences she had in Africa in such a thought-provoking manner, noting the people, places she visited, culture, and societal challenges that influenced her perspective of Africa,” Myers said. “As an aspiring filmmaker, Summer is well on her way to becoming a leader.” In preparation for the trip, Summer sought out donors to provide necessities for her host countries. One benefactor, Dan Moore, president of the APEX
Museum, which focuses on the appreciation of African American history, gave a generous gift for Summer to deliver. In addition, he also gave her a camera, instructing her to take pictures so upon her return so she could write a book detailing her expedition to Africa. Moore pushed Summer into finishing the book, and she says the words fell off the page easily. “[The trip] lit a fire in me to be more involved and see all the cultures, so writing the book wasn’t difficult because it was all from my own knowledge and experience,” Summer said. Summer has been a member of the track team for the past three years. She is also a member of the Anti Bullying Club and the League Club as well as a staff member for her school magazine, where she contributes articles and poems.
What’s Next: Summer has not yet decided where she will be attending college next fall, but she hopes to pursue a career as a screenwriter after college. This article was written by Amanda Gibson, a student at Holy Innocents’ Episcopal School.
