1918-2013

I was still a high school student when Nelson Mandela came to speak at my alma mater, but his legacy remained on campus. Upon my arrival I was well welcomed into the Nelson Mandela School of Public Policy and Urban Affairs, and graduated from my department with a degree in Political Science. 

I can only hope to achieve as much as this man in my lifetime. The struggle, the hardship, the perseverance. 

Just so much. 

His story is one of importance, he should forever be remembered.
