It was at a time when the school system operated under different rules. “We couldn’t go to regular school,” Tisa says. So she was enrolled in a work study program at DeLaSalleEducation Center, a United Way partner agency. “I really liked the individual attention to the students,” Tisa says. “The teachers seemed interested in the students.” She especially appreciated Pat Lantz, a graphic arts teacher. “He challenged me to see beyond 35th Street,” she says. “He would not allow me to stay there. In a way he challenged me to see past what was going on. He pushed me so much. He saw I loved to be creative. I’ve been creative ever since.”  More
