When nine-year-old Alvin L. Murphy, III, wrote a research paper about
Henry Ford, he didn’t know where it would lead him. Kerri T.S.
Overstreet, guidance counselor at Westdale Heights Academic Magnet
School, where Alvin is a fourth grader, nominated him for the National
Youth Leadership Forum: Pathways to STEM. The Envision program
introduces elementary students to science, technology, engineering and
mathematics.
Alvin’s parents, Valecia Murphy and Alvin Murphy, Jr., didn’t know about the nomination until Alvin’s acceptance came in the mail. Alvin traveled to the University of Houston and spent a week participating in hands-on workshops and simulations in medicine, engineering and crime scene investigation.
