I can’t believe Rameck had hurt that kid in the halls in the dormitory. It was also great that the boy and his mother didn’t press charges and that he only had been put on probation. I think it was also good that the three boy start Ujima and hold dances to raise money and bring Brooklyn schools to campus.

I really liked this selection because it showed me another side of college that I did not think existed. I also liked the idea of starting the Ujima. It gave hope to all of the children that had never even thought that going to college was even possible.

I thought that Ramek was way out of line and should’ve never had hurt that kid. I was relieved when the mother didn’t press charges on Ramek. The program that they started was very good for the community. This would show kids that drugs and crime isn’t the only way to life. The dances that they held were a great idea and that got everyone involved. I think that the boys did the right thing and helped a lot of people realize that there is a way out.

I thought the club they started was a good idea and I liked the meaning of ujima, too. I thought the little kids that thought they wouldn’t have to go to collage was going down the wrong path I didn’t like the fact that the little kid was going to get rich by being a drug dealer. I thought some one was leading him down that path it was sad that he thought that at that age.
