Sister Marie Chantal, leaping, and Sister Marie Francesca worked out at the Tae Kwon Do Academy at 828 Ninth Avenue. “The fact that we know tae kwon do doesn’t change anything,” Mother Marie Martha, the group’s mother superior told David Gonzalez, the reporter. “It’s just a sport.” Photo: Jack Manning/The New York Times Photo: Jack Manning/The New York Times

“I was awarded this pin in April when I was named my high school class’s valedictorian. I was especially honored by it because I am only the second African American valedictorian at my school, I’m the first in my family to be acknowledged this way, and, because of it, I know that the person who I created and extracted out of myself after my father’s death has proved to be real and living. I wear this pin every day on the left side of my cardigan, over my heart, because it still amazes me that I earned it.”

James Kale II was photographed on May 23rd in New York City. His valedictorian pin is pictured below three other pins he has been given for various awards.

“I found this ID bracelet after my dad’s funeral when I was 16, rummaging through his little leather treasure chest full of cufflinks and buttons and such; I snuck off with it and a vintage pair of bucking horse cufflinks. In a sense, it embodies the gentle cowboy life I had before moving to New York and has been with me on all the adventures that have unfolded since - from every Bergdorf event, every fashion week, every new apartment, to every thrill and heartache. I never take it off.”

Cannon Tekstar Hodge was photographed in New York City on May 5th. You can follow her on Twitter.
