We discussed achieving your dream. Think of someone who has already achieved a similar dream. What lessons can you learn from their journey?

 My uncle-in-law, Greg McCoy. Some things I can learn are risk-taking, learning from his mistakes, networking, and unwavering commitment to his goals. I can learn how he studies for the test, the experience, and the different things you can do in the military. Today in class we read a Poem by Langston Hughes. It talks about dreams and how to achieve them. It taught me that you don't wait until you get old, start doing it at a young age. Have plan Bs rather than just chasing the same goal if you don't like it.

About freedom and liberty, in the poem he talks about how he loves freedom. But when he talks about liberty he knows he's not free.

Family and Community, Family ties and strong community bonds are often central to Black African American identity. History of Struggle and Resilience, The legacy of slavery, civil rights struggles, and ongoing battles against systemic racism shape much of the identity for Black African Americans.

After reading it, we had to create a mask about ourselves.
