What Can I Do?

Troy Davis was not the first, and he won't be the last. We must fight for CHANGE!

      
      Thankfully, I am able to attend Howard University on the Gates Millennium Scholarship. In choosing me as a recipient of the honorable, prestigious award, they evaluated my leadership ability. I am a future leader of America, but most importantly, I look forward to being a leader at Howard University. I plan on bringing financial awareness to our campus. I have big plans for my non profit organization that will reach out to D.C inner city school students. 
     In my eyes a citizen of the world is someone who contributes to not only their own community, but to the entire world’s one giant community as a matter of fact.  One who wants to become a citizen of the world can do so by helping others around the globe. It could be impossible for someone who wants to become a citizen of the world, but they could at least try to by communicating and contributing with everyone around them. A citizen of the world is outgoing, charitable, and has rights for themselves. Citizens of the world have personal qualities in themselves and portray those certain qualities by engaging in how they can help the world.

   Being a citizen, is how the people of society affect the world around them, or what people are doing to help the future generations and even the generation of today. The ancient world has had such an impact on the way we live in our societies today. We tend to forget who customized a class system and helped provide how we structure our communities. They shaped the meanings of a work ethic and the sense of doing a good deed because; it is the best way to show citizenship. No matter what year or day in age it was possible for people to show citizenship.

Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall

   Justice Thurgood Marshall is a phenomenal representative thinker of Howard University.He led a civil rights revolution in the 20th century that forever changed the landscape of American society. He inspires me to be a champions because at the end of the day, CHAMPIONS BREAK CHAINS!

A child born to a Black mother in a state like Mississippi... has exactly the same rights as a white baby born to the wealthiest person in the United States. It's not true, but I challenge anyone to say it is not a goal worth working for.  - Thurgood Marshall
