The Maurice Lucas Foundation has taught me the seven pillars, the 3 D’s (Discipline + Diligence + Determination = Hard Work) and the equation for being a leader. They have taught me to make good decisions for myself and that my education is the most important thing and that no one can take it away from me. To the foundation I want to say thank you for making the path broad for success and narrow for destruction.
