Get your Minds Right
My mislead brothers.. The situation my school is going through is a sad one, yet, our school will more than likely not close anytime soon. Let me ask you a question son! How many leaders do you know that have graduated with a degree from LeMoyne-Owen, not to mention with an honor's degree. Many prominent leaders in Memphis, and the Nation have come from the school "that doesn't require an 800 on the SAT." I'll let you research that... Allow me to help you out a little. Two of them are: the mayor of Memphis, W.W. Herenton, and Councilman Myron Lowery.. You say that the GPA should not matter, but then you are implying that our school requirements are too.. You come off hypocritical my fellow brother... Work on that... On another note.. Trust you me, my GPA is not misleading... Do you honestly think that I would say all those things about grades and honors f I don't have my agenda straight? Think again... Not only do I have the grades, but I have the connections, extra-curricular activities, volunteerism, and well, you should get the point...
You said: "Regardless of an aspirants present state, it is and will be your responsibility as a leader to recognize and acknowledge the potential in individuals and weight that against the initial investment that it will take to mold them."
Well my fellow brother, does that not include institutions of higher education? Do we have to wait until they decide to pledge to worry about that, shouldn't we give them the opportunity to mold them out of high school for those that cannot because of several reasons not attend a "University?" LOC may be small, but you learn more, whereas, a bigger institution provides a bigger, well-known name, which is respectable, but so? Check this analogy: pretend LOC is a small business, and a university is a corporation. Most corporations get their "great ideas" from smaller companies (small business). Meaning, they have their value just the same if not more...
Watch that "Ether" family...
I say this as if I were talking about a family member.. I can talk about my family any way I want, but you cannot... I get upset when people talk about my school without knowing the facts.. Please don't take offense, I am merely defending my school...
Uphold the light properly people..
Peace and Love,
Sazon
That's for stating an important fact AKA2D '91, much love mami...
