I decided to end my diversity journey in this class with the topic I explored at the beginning of the semester. I'm especially interested in this particular topic because being raised in South Central Los Angeles, I've seen the devastating, as well as insightful, choices Black men have made: they either decide to embark on this notion of "thug life" or explore a life that will be most beneficial to their existence. I've always posed the question, why do some young men decide one path and some decide the other, if we are all raised in the same urban surroundings? So, I decided to use my digital story as a means of attempting to answer my own question. My digital story reflects my perception of why Black men decide to attend college, what makes some prematurely leave college, what makes some continue their educational pursuits, and a brief look at education in America and it's affect on the Black community, especially Black men.
