The Honorable Andrew Young

As part of an assignment for my History class, I attended an event with the speaker Andrew Young. Andrew Young was a key player in the Civil Rights Movement who worked with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the Mayor of Atlanta, and former Ambassador with the United Nations. The speech was amazing. He went through the "ABCs" for today's generation, and he also slipped in jokes here and there. It was amazing to meet such an accomplished man who had ideas for imporvement of many things. His best advice I got out of the speech was along the lines of, "Everything was put on this Earth to serve a purpose. I shouldn't worry about what I am going to do because I am meant to do something." This calms my fears, partly, about what I am going to do with my life. I get at points sometimes where I start freaking out that I only have 2 more years of college left and I have to know what job I am going to do. Something will work out- I know it will.

-What an amazing man!
