My Purpose for becoming a member of One Hundred Men of Shreveport : "During my high school years I started on the wrong path with F's but through discipline and hard work I received 2 scholarships for $500 and "The Most Improved Student Award," and the event was featured in JET Magazine. A group similiar to 100 Men of Shreveport was instrumental in my life. They helped my to get a summer job and further learn the importance of hard work and discipline. It does not matter about the trials you may face during your life. Through perseverance, hard work, and discipline you can achieve your goals.
