bigups: jeffrey lynn hall, jr.

Young Black Professional Guide Jeffrey Lynn Hall Jrright on the heels of ybp’s getting graduate degrees, i wanted to spread the good news. it seems like the world can be so negative and bleak. we all have to remember that our attitude and disposition is what we make it, what we choose to see. i choose to see jeffrey lynn hall, jr.

a three-sport athlete, captain in the rotc, and almost perfect gpa senior, mr. hall did something no student in the st. louis public school system has done in the last 39 years.

mr. hall was accepted to harvard.

hard work. determination. keeping faith.

those were the things instilled into him by his mother and grandfather. it’s very inspiring to see proof that a solid family structure fortifies our community and up-and-coming talented tenth.

i just wanted to shout my mans out and urge him to “keep keepin’ on” towards the ybp path of success.

mr. hall was also accepted into washington university (my alma mater) and states that he has a tough decision ahead of him.

pick washu! :-)
