to other areas of the city where
education can be made avail
able to all walks of life . He
would like to include bi
lingual, b i-cu ltu ra l courses
through the Center in order
that non-native English speak

and thereby become involved
w ith and p a n of the political
and social structure of our
c ity , state, and the nation.
Stated simply; his goal is

has forgotten so that they

the people can effect change.

that education is He way to
broaden tie |e rs |e c t in life

Obtaining an education has
heen a struggle fo r him,

no goals fo r tie tutu re. He
le i eves that breaking out
ot the frame of mind that con
fines ones sights is tie main
thing and a f t e r that comes
the hard work of preparation.
One of his main words of ad
vice to young jwople is to set
goals to r themselves, knowing
they w ill te d iffic u lt to obtain.
Bostic is divorced and has
two children living in C a lifo r
