In 1885, a young man used every penny he had to travel to Highland, Kansas for his college education @ Highladn college to be rejected because he was black.
For a few years, he tried to establish a homestead. In 1890, he again attempted to enroll in school and was accepted.
He went into arts (though he had a knack for growing things) and excelled greatly...in 1893, he won his first art prize in a world competition and his peoms published in newspapers.
But he left art for agriculture even when he loved art! What would have made him do such a thing when he was already very comfortable (especially as a black)?
George Washington Carver found more success with agriculture for producing more products from pea nuts and helping many poor black farmers...
Simply put, he found more fulfilment and success by thinking beyond himself...all he wanted was to impart people (positively)...
You can change a live today...you can IMPART lives this week...you can change the world with just living your life ONCE for others!!!
SHIINE people!!!
