The Mighty Mustang

Dahlstrom Middle School Literary Magazine.

What's the Real Story Behind the Crab That Looks Like a Squid?  On Wednesday, March 9, 2005, Ms. Betty Copeland and the Dahlstrom Middle School (DMS) library had the honor of hosting Wiley the Crab, the mascot for Wiley's Way, a book written with the goal of encouraging children to attend college.  Aspiring journalists:  Kaitlyn C, J.R. H., Daryl B., and Ana S. conducted the exclusive interview below. 

How tall are you?   Six feet, three inches with my shoes that have been specially designed for crabs, I’m six feet, three inches and three-quarters.

What are your hobbies?   Chasing snails, floating with the current and lying out on the beach at my favorite place, Galveston, Texas.

Is going to college like joining a club?  In some ways yes, it’s like joining a life club; a good club that allows you to stay in school longer but as an adult.

What did you like about college?  The people because they were so diverse, sharing different languages, nationalities, and cultures.

I hear you have to take something called the SAT to go to college, what's the SAT? It’s a test that ranks you and is a requirement for going to college.  It stands for Scholastic Aptitude Test.

What college do you want to go to? Why? I attended Texas State University because my friend Turtle took me there.  I really liked it because there are really good eating places in San Marcos and really pretty girls.

What advice would you give a student thinking about going to college? Make learning a fun experience for your whole life.  Read a lot, broaden your scope, continue your focus on education and remember you must go to college because it will help you work with others.   

Who’s your dream date?    Ideally, it would be Muffi, the Dahlstrom Middle School Mustang but if she’s not available, then Halle Berry.

Thank you Wiley for making the time to visit with us.  We certainly appreciate your efforts and believe in your motto:  

Learn, Go to College and Have a Great Life.
