[Greater-Baltimore] 2027 State Convention Theme Contest

[Shuketha Johnson]

President Othman,

I would like to submit these two themes:


Planting seeds , Growing Leaders
This is representation of the John T McGraw Scholarship platform

Dream it, Learn it, Live it
The John T. McGraw Scholarship experience allowed me to Dream of a future
that the outside world told it would be unreachable because of blindness.
Through volunteering at the Bell Academy I Learned what young people
overcome to beat the odds. The Greater Baltimore Chapter has taught me how
to Live as a productive blind citizen.

Thanks
Shukerha
