their own flag of dignity, success and
pride to his tribe and community.
I always believe in this saying “Don’t judge the book by its cover “ because no one
has the right to do that. They need us too , they need us to encourage them and
wanted us to recognized what they have ,
and what they are capable of doing with.
They only wanted to get acceptance from the society And
no one from us has the right to claim their lives. At the end we are all the
same.
If we can do it , then there is no impossible way that
they can do it too.
They can bring their feet to crowded place far from
where they come from.
Just like norman king he can bring his self and study in a big
school.
And most he can bring his self into a peak of succes.
