Education Of Dark


As a young African American male living in today's society I choose not to be a statistic. I have always wanted to differ myself from the norm. The norm would be being put into jail, being shot, or being in a graveyard somewhere for African American males my age. The primary purpose of me going to school, which is also my goal, Is to give educative advice to those who look like me, but going in the wrong direction in life. I truly live by the saying sharing in caring and sharing my knowledge is caring for the needs of others.
