Want to make a difference?

Why not start right now. Maybe it’s because I just watched God Grew Tired of Us (the site is down and redirects to something random about dogs (whomp whomp), but google it later) and then right after read about this dope scholarship opportunity (more details here) on I Will Teach You To Be Rich (very quickly becoming one of my fav blogs), but why not start right now?

For me, the way I want to make a difference is through my research. Hey, you have to prove interventions and programs work, why can’t I be the one to do that. Plus, I have three younger brothers, if I can help shape them into decent Black men, wow, that would be enough for me.

Yes, we’re young, but we’re also innovative and (hopefully) not broken by life. So if you want to do something, help someone, start something, just go out and do it. now.

peace,
e.

HELL YEAH!
I get really excited when I get hit with the “I can change the world” feeling. If we each truly believed it and ran with it, we could touch several people’s lives. If we collaborated forces, we could definitely make a positive dent in some corner of the world.
This post is simple yet SO important. Great one Eva!
