Remember what your mama said
We had a really inspirational assembly with Dr. Fairest Hill as the guest speaker. He was very motivational. He talked about attitude and about how your attitude is everything. He also talked about how if students don't care then no one else will. He inspired our students by telling them that he came from a family of 9, his father dies when he was 11, his younger brother died when he was 5 (Fairest was 7), his family lived in the Brewster projects in Detroit, MI. His older sister told him that he was gonna die in the ghetto, but he had a teacher, a special education teacher, got ahold of him and told him that he had a bright future and to never give up. He held on to that and the strenght of his mother and graduated with his Ph.d. He finished his presentation with a song he wrote and recorded, "Remember what your mama said," I enjoyed him greatly.
