Africa's Destiny

The African student begins education’s journey, with tentative steps. Language and mathematic knowledge begin reshaping brain’s flow, in preparation for what follows. Myths and fables bow and recede before science and knowledge, teaching the student to question. Critical thinking casts aside misconceptions of inferiority. The mind is molded, like hot iron, in scholarly patterns, as the size of steps increase. Africa’s light brightens, with unexpected strength, from uncorrupted generations. The exhausted will soon recognize Africa’s fresh entry, in the race of history, to change the course of events, and shift seats of power, with skill and understanding.
