would have chalked up as a marginal

graduation. Spirited at that time had

alone his education.
His father, a 45-ycar-old retired

encouraged his son to push himself

the challenge.” And go lie went!
“By slaying in school you will get
the most precious thing on earth. It is
not gold, and it is not silver. It is
knowledge.” Spirited has not visited
Florida A & M yet, but lie has been
accepted to the historic Black college
and lie will be majoring in accounting.
