LEAP

Dr. Kimberly worthy’s lecture was very interesting. She Introduced the LEAP Math and Science school of South Africa to us. She showed us how dedicated to education the children of South Africa are. I never knew they had institution of that sort in South Africa.

Dr. Worthy showed us videos of how the students bonded in song and dance. During apartheid Africans were not allowed to keep their heritage or culture alive. So I found it interesting that they are allowed to be “free” and they chose to do things that represented their culture.

We were asked by Dr. Worthy to define freedom, freedom to me is the progress of your desires. Fredrick Douglas said “If there is no struggle, there is no progress” I totally agree with this. There must be a struggle to gain freedom in this world. The students at leap are truly amazing, after this lecture with Dr. Worthy, it made me realize im not living up to my full potential at Howard University.
