For those of you in Boston, I encourage you to attend a fundraiser for the Urban Scholars Program that what quite instrumental in my development during my High School years. Truth be told, had it not been for this program, I never would have thought about leaving Massachusetts for university. And that would have been a told travesty as my four years at the University of Michigan were without a doubt, some of the best years of my life.
