I want you to imagine yourself sitting at a table, thinking furiously. Tapping your pen on the table, shaking your leg, seconds away from biting your nails. “What am I going to do?”, “How am I going to fix this?”, “Why is this so hard for me?”, too many times have I been in this situation. Today, at this moment, I decided I was finished asking those questions. Enough was enough.
I’ve lived most of my life optimistically and always being curious of the next thing. My mind expands daily with numerous ideas, plans, visions. Having those dreams and not being to act on them, begins to wear at you, and I’m currently worn out. But yet, I don’t plan on quitting. My mind isn’t wired to quit.
To have any plan you have to start somewhere, and this is my start. I need this education to not only learn for myself, but to provide outreach to a whole community that has gone untouched. This doesn’t exist in my area, it should, and it will. I will take the first step to broaden and strengthen my mind, pass it along the chain until every mind full of ideas has the same opportunities that’s afforded to communities more known than ours. My name is Jay McLean and this battle is for me, and those after me. I will be the first, but I won’t be the last.
