Education is your future!!!



"Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow
belongs to those who prepare for it today."
-MalcomX-
Malcolm was a African American black rights activist who was assasinated on Febuary 21,1965, and was born on May 19,1925. He had a religious name and was known as El Hajj Malik El- Shabazz. Malcolm, like many who have troubles, went to jail at the age of twenty for burglary, and received a sentence of 10 years. As a child, Malcolm's mother suffered a nervous breakdown and her eight children were taken away from her by the welfare department. Like Malcolm everyone may hit a bumpy road, but you make the best of it and move on.
I chose this quote because I personally have been through alot in the past few years, and I have discovered that going back to school to get your education to make your life better is the only way to do it and be sucessful at what you do. Always believe in yourself and believe that you will suceed.
In my life I have struggled, but I feel I am Finally on track, never give up on your education!!! Never give up, we are all meant to do something speacial. Find what it is you are to do, and succeed.
