Mr. Moziah Saleem talked to the young men about his life and his love for the drum. He brought along 14 drums and gave lessons to the young men on how to play 3-4 rhythms. He also stressed the importance of listening. Everyone was really enthused with his presentation. Mr. Torin Ellis, who is a motivational speaker, was very interesting and captivating. He spoke to the Kings about the 3T’s: Time, Talent and Treasure. He got everyone involved during his presentation. Then, Mr. Marvin McDowell from UMAR Boxing Center spoke. He had the Regional Boxing Champion and 3 other boxers accompany him. The regional champion will go to the National Boxing Tournament and hopes to qualify for the upcoming Olympics. They did brief exercises and demonstrations. These boxers emphasized to the young Kings the importance of dedication and discipline in this arena. |

We were presented with an interactive workshop on “Conflict Resolution” which all of the young men enjoyed. I hope that everyone learned at least one thing from it. In this world many of us will be faced with some type of conflict, hopefully we can reflect back on this training and know how to respond. Mr. Mark Stith was also present to teach CPR training. Each young man was given a book that they can look over from time to time. This book explained what to do if an emergency should occur.

The Tour of Maryland Shock Trauma. It was an amazing and humbling tour. We got to see firsthand some of the trauma patients whose lives were being saved. The young kings had a chance to converse with the Lead Trauma
Surgeon, Dr. Carnell Cooper. He shared with them some of his experiences working in Shock Trauma. We got the opportunity to talk to the pilots who flew theMEDIVAC helicopters. They then talked about different occupations within the hospital and had a rap presentation by 5th L.
