His name was George Washington Carver, a slave, a boy, and most notably an agricultural chemist. Life in 1864 didn’t start out all that well for little George. George’s momma, Mary was a slave owned by Moses Carver. In 1861 George became an orphan after his momma Mary and he were taken from their owners by a group of rogue bushwhackers. A sick frail George was returned to the family, and Mary was never found. There was not any hope of his father raising him or even getting to know him because he died in a farm accident on a nearby farm where he lived before George was even born. The only thing that made sense at that time was for the Carvers to adopt him into their family. The Carver’s saw something promising and hopeful in a frail boy, a mighty survivor, who would turn out…

    George Washington Carver was a clever man with big dreams and the intention of pursuing them. He is known to many as “The Peanut Man” for his extensive work on peanuts. During his lifetime, Carver discovered over 300 uses of the peanut as well as sweet potatoes. What many do not realize is the difficulty Carver faced during his career. Many people, schools, and places he visited rejected him simply because of his race. Due to this racial prejudice, Carver had a very hard time getting his inventions noticed. Carver slowly built his way up from a simple school for blacks, to several years in college, to one of the first professors at Tuskegee Institute. Carver was not only interested in peanuts, but also painting and agriculture. Because of…

    I came to realize that I can make a difference when I helped a student in elementary school. This happened when I was 12 years old and still a student. It was during lunch break, some students were walking, others having their lunch. I was walking to the washroom and saw a group of students in the corridor talking loudly to another student; I was under the impression that they were friends but later understood that he was being bullied. My first reaction was to ignore them and pass by, but I could feel the helplessness of the student being bullied.…
