We often go through life just living day to day. We write, we speak, and we go about our lives not even knowing how many of our actions and expressions came about. During Dr. Carr's lecture he spoke to us about the origin of math and the alphabet. It was created in Africa. The hunger for knowlege and the eagerness to learn was inscripted in Egyptians. As they found ways to write creating symboyls with meanings. Find ways to record measurements, discovering science. They challeneged their memory and were eager to gain wisdom. Egypt appears to be the origin for much of this. With Egypyt's intelectualism, cultural unity, and humanity work; they are a culture to be emulated. They built and layed a foundation for education for alll times to follow.
We must learn and acknowledge our rich history. It is truly inspirational for a nation of people to change the world with their creation of symbols, respect for knowledge and wisdom. All the greatness that precedes in a time that wasn't considered to be as 'advanced' tells me that i can make a change in these times with all the tools that i have access to. The greats that followed Egyptians to change the world such as Dr.King, Thrurgood Marshall, Louis Armstrong have all made their impact on this world in our history. I recall Dr.Carr telling Obama to get on the line of greatness as there are so many before him. As I dig deeper into our history as Dr.Carr has inspired me to do ; I am determined to also get on line to be considered great.
