Amelia Boynton is a civil rights pioneer. Robinson became among the few African Americans with voter registration. Robinson used her position as a registered voter to help other African Americans who were applying to become registered voters during a time when literacy tests were used to discriminate against African Americans who wanted to vote. Robinson reconnected with Sam William Boynton, the county's extension agent whom she had first met while attending Tuskegee Institute. They were married and started working together to help the poor African Americans, the majority of whom were sharecroppers, gain access to education, a higher standard of life, and the right to vote. Robinson became the first-ever African American woman to run for office in Alabama. She was the first woman in the state to seek this position, and she received 10% of the vote despite only 5% of registered voters being African Americans. Robinson was one of the civil rights activists who led the historic first march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in 1965. As a result, that day came to be known as Bloody Sunday. I would make a positive impact on the world through voting rights by, making young people more aware. Most young people in the United States don’t vote, especially young African Americans. Black youth are skilled at analyzing and making sense of their actual interactions with American democracy. They are aware that overcoming structural obstacles may make it more difficult to influence change in their communities. For instance, fewer young Black people than their peers of other races/ethnicities say they believe in young people's political power. The report's main focus is empowerment. Young people are more likely to vote and express their opinions if they feel heard in their surroundings. Education is the most important tool for promoting equal opportunities. The government might invest more funds in failing schools to address the issue of educational inequality, for example, by paying the top instructors more to work in underprivileged areas where students do worse. Money might not, however, be the only answer to the issue. Deprived areas' schools might require more than just increased funding. The main objective for how I will make an impact is through social media. This is how the world gets news the fastest. People like and reshare content all the time, this keeps people informed on what's going on. In order to get people aware of the opportunities Amelia Robinson and William Boynton help create for us; you have to cater to your audience through social media.

We can all agree that while life has its lovely moments, there are also times when hope seems far away, regardless of whether you view life as a roller coaster or a box of chocolates. We ought to be receptive to additional opportunities for improvement during those trying times. I've personally learned to stay optimistic through tough times by, understanding good and bad events come and go. Recently, I broke my foot at a sports camp teaching basketball. Basketball has been my place of refuge and solitude. I currently play in college and have goals and aspirations to play professionally. Immediately when this tragic event transpired, my initial thoughts were that I was not going to be able to play again. Thoughts begin to pour in; will I ever play the same, how can I come back from this, Is this my fault? Sometimes the lowest points in our lives can serve as a launchpad for growth. Consider the lessons it has taught you, whatever you are going through. How can you turn this difficulty into an opportunity? Yes, it could take some time, but if you approach it with the appropriate attitude, you'll be shocked at what you learn. The biggest I have learned is that when you come out of the storm, you won't be the same person that walked into it. Try to stay positive through the different trials and tribulations.

People who stick to a budget are less likely to accumulate debt or are better equipped to escape a vicious cycle of debt. One of the most crucial lessons I've learned about financial literacy is to always have a plan for your money and to often check in on your overall financial situation. Another finance lesson. It can be challenging to find the drive to save if you don't have a clear goal in mind. You should carefully define your goals, whether they be retirement or a home you've had your eye on, and calculate how much money you'll need to save in order to create a strategy to get there. Living beyond our means is tremendously easy in this consumer-driven culture, but a decent general guideline is to try and save at least 15% of your salary. If you have a habit to overspend, try paying with cash rather than a credit or debit card for purchases like groceries and clothing. Making a set monthly withdrawal makes it easier for you to control your spending and be more conscious of your options.

My name is Dillon Jones, and I am an incoming junior attending Penn State Brandywine. When I came out of high school, I didn’t have any offers or looks. I was told straight to my face by my coach “this isn’t for you; you should get a job and make money”. As bad as that sounds, it only made me stronger and more determined to play at the colligate level. I spent the rest of that year and summer getting 10% better each and every day. Theirs a quote that I live by “Be Phenomenal or Be Forgotten”. Being more evolved in the process rather than the prize. Waking up every day and getting the same result is the real grind. This hustle and heart I possess were noticed by a college coach. I am from inner-city Wilmington; DE and I've been living here most of my life. I grew up in a rough neighborhood and all I want to do is help make a difference and show the community that there are opportunities out here for young African Americans to take advantage of like this. Another hardship I still face to this very day is trying to pursue my career in basketball while trying to help my mom with bills. It's a hard balance that I tried to maintain, and it's only getting tougher with the tuition at my school. My mom always taught me, to take everything one step at a time. Nobody can climb Mount Everest in a day, that relates to how life is about planning accordingly and moving one step at a time. My major is communications and I plan to be a sports analyst when I'm done playing the game of basketball. I've always put my family first and this degree will help get me out of the situation that I'm in. I want to show the community I came from that anything is possible, and you can achieve anything you put your mind to. I'm what you call a neighborhood hero and I will help continue the paving of young black excellence and achievement.
