...such a B-Rabbit Smith. “I was a pretty nerdy kid. I actually memorized every lyric to every Temptations song,” he says, laughing. “I’m still pretty nerdy.” Liu’s roommate, Landon S. Dickey ’09, speaking in regular old non-rhyming prose, attests to Hang’s dedication to the art. “Hip-hop is his life and that’s why he’s so good at it,” Dickey says...
Espiritu has adjusted fairly easily. But Roliza Aguilar, who is teaching sixth, seventh and eighth grades at Dickey Hill Elementary and Middle School in Baltimore, has had a more difficult time. "Everyone needs a lot of attention," she says. "If you asked me to tell you how many of them are disciplined, I could count them on five fingers.

When Mark Gadow of Preston, Md., registered his Christian Faith Driving School at the Department of Motor Vehicles, a worker there urged him to change the name. Gadow, a burly former policeman, persisted, painting giant fish on the sides of his Hyundai Tiburons. But when he dropped off applications at a public school, he later found them tossed in the trash. And one student angrily denounced God in class...
With 4 out of 5 Americans calling themselves Christians and 40% of the population born-again, however, the possibility of alienating customers is "a risk business owners feel they can afford to take," says Dickey. It often pays off. Despite early setbacks, Gadow's driving school has expanded to three locations; he was even able to persuade the angry student to return to church. But some Christian entrepreneurs want it both ways. In 2002, Maryland real estate broker Philip DeLizio, 47, joined the Christian Real Estate Network.
