Question

It was Andria Baker's high school graduation party, and the time had come for her father to make good on a promise that he had made her years ago, when she was a fourth-grader. “After you started on your first day of kindergarten and continue it through your last day of high school, and I'll buy you a car.” Tim Baker had told the child.

Through the years, Andria Baker kept up her end of the bargain, willing herself to go to school on those days even when she felt under the weather. She did carry out her 13th year of uninterrupted coming to the class-room with her final day at Constantine High School even when she was ill.

At Sunday's party, her father gave the young woman the keys to a new, $17,000 Pontiac G6. Tim Baker, who teaches seventh grade at Constantine Middle School, said he has no regret about the deal. “Without a doubt, it was worth every penny I spent.” he said. The look on his daughter's face when she saw the car was great. Baker said, “When she turned around after seeing the car, she did not know what to do. We got her into the car and she just sat there. Then she ran into the house to get her driver's license, and she and her best friend got in the car and drove down the road.”

Andria Baker, 19, said she thinks she would have gone ahead with that even if a new car had not been promised her. “A lot of my friends thought I was crazy, but I just kept going.” she said. Baker plans to go after an education degree at Alma College.
