3. What Did We Do?

4. Learned Our Vision From the time I was created, I was made to be a leader. Since the day I was born, I have been a man of influence. I am a leader because of what's inside of me. I am on the path to my calling because I have vision; I am focused; I know my history and I am prepared to serve. So when you address me, do not minimize my destiny, but please, celebrate my great calling! I am focused; I know my history and I am prepared to serve.
