Learning new knowledge and using that knowledge to learn, grow, and become productive members of society • •Manhood-Is learning, “ Who am I?” It’s developing my identity based on who I want to become and not on what others think or speak about me.

It is being held accountable by others of doing my part in my family, school, and community. • •Leadership-Means standing up to issues in my community and being a part of the solution and not the problem.
