"True hope dwells on the possible, even when life seems to be a plot written 
by 
someone who wants to see how much adversity we can overcome.
True hope responds to the real world, to real life; it is an active effort."
-Walter Anderson

People like Dr. Martin Luther King, Ida B. Wells, Thurgood Marshall, Michael
Jordan, 
and Mohatma Gandi all worked to make a difference in society.  They 
sacrificed
many 
things in life to strive for equality for all of us.  Now, it's your turn. 
You, too, can make a 
difference.  How will you make the most out of your life?  Carpe Diem. Seize
the Day!
