Last night, as a class we attended the Mays Lecture.  Marian Wright Edelman was the speaker and I thought the speech was interesting.  I can tell she is an advocate for equal opportunities for all people, especially disadvantage children.  One of the reasons I entered the UACM Program was to serve students from disadvantage backgrounds.  I want to serve students who are considered the ”underdogs” because I believe they need the service the most.  I believe attending the lecture was a good experience for me because I have been very stressed lately and questioning the program very much.  The lecture help me to refocus on the big picture of making a difference of the lives of students who need it the most.  Also the video at the end of the lecture really touched me and gave me the motivation I needed to do my best in the program.
