I recently read a bit about the former president of the NAACP.
Mfume was born Frizzell Gray in Baltimore, Maryland, where he was a street hustler and high school drop-out prior to age 23, where he had also fathered many children with different women. Gray had an epiphany and dedicated to remake his life. He legally changed his name to Kweisi Mfume, a name from Ghana meaning "Conquering son of Kings." Mfume went back to school and earned a bachelor’s degree from Morgan State University, and a master’s degree in Liberal Arts from Johns Hopkins University.
This got me thinking. If I work hard enough, I may be able to get to ivy league. After I get my masters in probably 3 years, I'm going to try as hard as possible. I mean if this guy could go from drop-out to graduate then maybe there is hope for me yet.
I'm not doing bad but I'm not working to my potential. Any way, is there any one in the states in ivy league or in a florida school?
