His teachers said that he was a bright young man, a strong and determined student, goal- oriented, good work habits. He takes his future seriously and, works well both independently and virtually. He believes that continuing one’s education will open doors for many possibilities that otherwise would not be available.

He will use this opportunity to move forward to help prove to this nation that Black Lives Matter and that we can make a difference.
