Massey was born and rai.sed
in an Inkster housing .prof, ect
until the age ofeighteen. "As a
youth, I stayed away from rhe
Ger Id Ma ey
people who were always in
trouble. I never w .with .r 11
crowd." When a_s ed 'Why, .be
replied, "My grandmother al­
ways encouraged me to stay in
school and aw y from the
crowd. It also had a lot to .do
with the strong religious li n­
fluence within my family."
A year after he graduate-d
from high school, Massey 0 t�
tended Wayne County CO))Q­
munity College for two years.
He then transferred to Easter ·n·
Michigan· University where he
received hi undergraduate d e­
gree in social work.
Massey is presently a tee n
counselor at the Teen Healt ,h
Center in Highland Park. Hits
objective is to help youtb.s
develop coping, goal setting,
good decision making, an-d
problem solving skills. "I try t 0
help youths foster a self CO!:I­
cept, enhance a strong sense c-f
racial identity, develop and
maintain self discipline and
self control, and to acce pt
challenges and meet commit-

MASSEY IS ALSO teaching
Video Drama Class (de ling
with camera editing, angle •
and techniques), Drama Class
(dealing with play), "and the
Tutorial Program (dealing
with math and reading for stu­
dents in grades 4-8. The stu-
" ents in Tutorial Program will

Every Tuesday and
Thur day, from 11:15 until
12:00, Ma ey teach s a teen
ounseling class at t e Alter­
native High School in High­
land Park. Being one of his
students, I find ·that he really
cares for youths and helps
them to prepare them for the
future.
Massey plans to have an
oratory competition focusing
on famous Black leaders this
summer. He is also looking for
actors and actresses ages 9-21
for an upcoming play. Anyone
interested is asked to call him
at the Teen Health Center,
252-4009.
Here is his message to the
youths of Highland Park,
"It was once said that a man
can't ride your back unless it is
bent. I dedicate my life to the
Lord. We must carry out his
purpose and mandate.
The Teen Health Center is a
program facilitated to foster
the needs of adolescent males
and females. We must find
creative ways to engance our
youth's self esteem, self aware­
ness, and to build a strong
sense of pride."
