“It took a lot of discipline, hard work and dedication. At a young age, I was determined to be successful. In the eighth grade, I made history by becoming a member of the inaugural class at the world-renowned STEM Early College at North Carolina A&T State University. Yes this was a great accomplishment, but as I went through high school I learned you don’t gain understanding of the course material by taking notes and paying attention in class alone, but rather studying the course material and being able to apply it in various real-life situations. My sophomore year, I made history once again by becoming the first high school student to acquire an internship with Elon Law School. I knew this would be the perfect opportunity for me to test if I wanted to be in the law profession, and gain some insight on what really goes on in a law office or non-profit. They denied my request at first because I was not qualified to care for clients due to my lack of law knowledge. However, later they were able to develop a personal research internship, which gave be the same type of hands on experience without the need of the knowledge taught in law

school.”

When I was a little boy I dreamed of attending Harvard Law School. Fortunately, I was able to graduate top of my graduating class at Harvard as I did at the University of Maryland, and my most recent alma mater, the University of Chicago where I received my MBA. I am currently working towards a DBA from Manchester Business School in the UK. I decided to try something new by studying abroad. I love England, fish and chips, Wimbledon, the British accent, and I am starting to learn more about the British culture. I failed to mention I learned a lot of different languages while getting my other degrees. I minor in Spanish at UMD, a minor in French at Harvard, and I minor in German at the University of Chicago. “
“I appreciate all the supporters in the audience who are wearing the orange wristbands promoting Cerebral Palsy Awareness. I feel a lot of times people like to focus on cancer or ALS because they are the conditions which are most heavily promoted. However, many are unaware over seventeen million people in the world. It is the most common motor disability in childhood. I was fortunate enough to have the experience of battling cerebral palsy through my childhood, as my case was very mild, but even the mild cases can be very apparent to the eye. This is why I would like to donate ten million dollars to their anti-bullying campaign today. Nobody deserves to be verbally nor physically tormented because of their appearance. After all, freedom of expression is in the U.S. Constitution. Let us all make a daily effort to love one another and establish order back into our society, as our forefathers Martin Luther King and Thurgood Marshall labored relentlessly to ensure.”
“There is no such thing as being too young to make a difference, and it’s never too late to make a change. I didn’t list some of my accolades to brag or boast. From as early as I can remember I had a plan to use my degrees in business and law to adopt a new idea of the meaning “law firm” by turning it into a global phenomenon to meet the needs of all people. The farther I pursed my education, the more resources I was able to gather in helping promote my business. Of course I couldn’t do it without some promotion from my celebrity friends such as Beyoncé, Kanye, Nick Cannon, Serena Williams, OBJ III, and Steph Curry to name a new, but it was also the support of my friends and family which gave me the support I needed to be successful. Remember no dream is too big, and no idea is too small. The sky is the limit. I graciously and humbly accept this award. Goodnight, and God Bless America.”
