Steve Wins the MLK Award

Martin Luther King Jr. was a man who was a big supporter of ending segregation.  He was one of the men who actually stepped up and did his best before he was assassinated.  He was one man that cared about his fellow African Americans and wanted to stand up for them.  When he decided to d0 something some people did not take too kindly to that.  Martin was a young and courageous man who helped a lot of people in many ways.  There was award named after him call the Martin Luther King Humanitarian award.

Stevenson Bassy is an 8th grade student at our very own Howard Middle School.  He has played every sport so far this year and is looking at a very successful future.  Stevenson was voted to be most likely to succeed by our students.  As of right now Steve helps Ms.Lee’s son Trelawney S. with basketball skills at school and on his own time.  He also helps local kids in his neighborhood with sports and homework.  I won’t say any names, but Steve also helps students at Howard with their Algebra homework.  I won’t lie… Steve helps me with basketball sometimes, too, like how I shoot, when to release the ball, etc.  Steve is the perfect student to win this award. He helps everybody in every kind of way.

The Humanitarian Award is given to people who help their community in every way possible.  Last year, the award was given to Billy Flowers, also an 8th grader at Howard.  The award has been given out across our wonderful country. It’s always nice to know that one of our students have been given this award. That goes to show you if one of our students can win it then anybody can.  All you have to do is try to help your community in any kind of way.  The little stuff matters folks–everybody must help to make our country a better place to live in. This award shows that Steve is one of those people that help our community. Orlando is known as “The City Beautiful,” so let’s try to make it stay like that. Everyone needs to help. Let’s stay BEAUTIFUL !
