The lessons that I've learned as a member have changed the way I think. I am more aware of how to be a successful young man and how to carry myself. In a way I grew up quicker while being in the organization.
Being a member of DGC taught me to not give up on myself when things were difficult. I will never forget our summer retreats and college tours. During those trips we were able to hang out with our brothers and learn more about being better men.
Being a member of DGC helped me to become the man I am today. Thanks to the program, I performed better in school and have more pride in myself as an African American man.
