I had a really good time with my fellow scholars this past week. On Thursday and Friday Clare, James, and myself had some community service work painting one of the former Sports Changes life offices. I really enjoyed painting with them we had the chance to talk to each other and get to know each other a little bit better. I shared with the group how my grandfather was a professional business and home painter. My grandfather worked at Howard University as a painter for over twenty years. During the twenty years he was able to offer an opportunity to all of his children to get a college education for free.While I was painting and listening to music I was thinking about how great it was that my grandfather was able to offer his nine children a free education.
I look at the victory scholarship as a way to help and inspire children while I am working on myself and trying to reach a level of greatness where I can leave something for my family as well as my community that will last forever. I thank God for blessing me with my grandfather he blessed me with a great example of what a man and a father looks like. “To God Be The Glory”
