Grant Me Hope: Alvin enjoys playing basketball, watching movies, and writing hip-hop songs

Shooting hoops is one of Alvin’s favorite activities.  But music is probably the 15-year-old’s true passion. “My favorite artists are Drake [and] 21 Savage, and I like to write a little bit myself,” he said. His song-writing is a hobby which probably helps with his school work – especially when it comes to reading. “Social Studies is my favorite subject. I like to learn about subjects back in the day,” he explained. He also likes to read a lot.  He brings a book with him everywhere he goes.
