It is because of people like Ms. Worthy that so many young people today have been inspired to go beyond just making it through school, but actually strive to succeed throughout the rest of their lives. It is so refreshing to see the type of enthusiasm and dedication she holds towards giving children a better future through their education. She expressed how important it was for young African American children to realize their potential and how they need a deeper sense of knowing someone cares about their success.
Community responsibility was a topic that needs to be addressed more over the country. This concept is crucial in raising children to understand they can do anything and that they have the support of everyone. There is a saying I always hear, “it takes a village to raise a child” and I truly believe this is accurate. Everyone needs to work together to bring our people out of the bad stereotypes and let us know that we are just as god as any other race. We all need to support each other I order to survive at the fullest.
“Ubuntu: ZULU PROVERB A person is a person through other persons. We affirm our humanity when we acknowledge that of others.” I love this concept also because it plays into the fact that we need to respect and treat others as though they were family. It is important to show respect to all people, no matter the case, because you never know what effect you may have in someone’s life.
