Dr. Sekou's Talk10/14/2018 Dr. Sekou has a really interesting background in terms of his family background and his community. Though born poor, he got a lot of support from his family and the people around him that led him to be knowledgeable and receive good education. He has done lots of service work through his school year and before becoming a teacher. I think it connects to the work I have done by the idea of “giving back.” He himself had explained to us the reason why he does what he wants to do is because that he growing up poor makes him want to fix the social issues. In A Path Appears, we see different organizations help the people in need. In the Kiva activity, students uses their own understanding in helping others. An important lesson I learn from that is we should do what we can do in shaping the world. Dr. Sekou listed some stages in achieving this goal. He mentions that we need to understand the world first and really plan to take action. Then, we need to reflect back on how this issue affect us and changes the world. Yes, results are important. This is crucial because we need to make sure we are not wasting our time but really doing something important. He mentioned at last by telling us that this world is worth fighting, I think that’s why people never lose hope- because they know that there will be people willing to help them out of the issues.
