Kids Miss Out On Mentorship Programs
When you talk to Thomas White at school or look at a college application, heâs simply Thomas.
But if you catch him in Southie, heâs Tommy White. âI mean, in my house, everybody here calls me Thomas. In Southie, especially at basketball and stuff, people usually call me Tommy. And thatâs just the name I was given, he said, with a laugh. White is chronicling his senior year of high school with GBH News as part of our COVID and the Classroom series.
