How Fredrick Douglass relates to me?
I never knew Fredrick, and neither did Fredrick no me but, me and Fredrick has something in common. we were both born a statistic. No matter who you are or where you come from everyone comes into this world as that. Now, the choice is ours weather or not we choose to change that. Frederick Douglass for example wasn't taught how to read nor write, he went out and self taught himself. Me? well, i live in a period of time where you have the privilege of school.But! its our decision to apply ourselves or not. which me personally is the only way out of your statistic. Just like Fredrick "knowledge is the key to everything" because otherwise you have the ability to be taken advantage of.

You included some really powerful observations in this post! My favorite line is when you write that we are given the privilege of school but must choose to apply ourselves! That is so true! I didn't realize that lesson until middle school but once I started to apply myself great things happened.
ReplyDeleteGood work using spell check-- there are no misspelled words however there were a few words that would slip through spell check- first line- "did Fredrick no me" should read "did Fredrick know me". Again in the middle: "the choice is ours weather or not" should read "the choice is ours whether or not".
Great blogging! Keep up the good work and continue making up missing blogs! I look forward to reading them :)
