Project 365: Day # 73 - Saturday, November 19, 2011 "Meeting with the President of Morgan State University"

I was too excited for this day, Saturday, November 19, 2011 because I was going to meet the president of Morgan State University, one of the most prestigious HBCU's and one of the best Engineering school in the country. Ever since I was about 13 years old, I've been really interested in attending Morgan State for their monumentous and honorable Engineering program. The president's name is Dr. David Wilson. I met Dr. Wilson at a mentoring group meeting called "Mentoring Male Teens in the Hood". This male mentoring group is here and ran acceptionally in order to reach out to the young males in the city of Baltimore, and to motivate them and to give them the out most confidence to stay in school and to be successful. Dr. Wilson was already scheduled to be in attendance to speak with the group and tok inspire them with his humble childhood and how he's overcame a myriad of obstacles in order to be where he his now. I was invited to come and speak with him one-on-one by one of my dad's closes friends, Mr. Cameron Miles. Mr. Miles is the person in charge of the group and he and the staff do everything in their power to make sure that these kids, soon to be young adults have everything they need to succeed in anything and everything that they do. When I spoke to Dr. Wilson, I was blown away by his stories and how he conqured so much in his lifetime. He's made copious amounts of sacrifices in order to gain his momentum and to strive further than excellence, but to encroach beyond limitations. And that's what truly inspired me to continue to do what I love to da and what I have to do.
