Dear Family, Friends, and Supporters,

 

The 100 Black Men of Indianapolis, Inc. has selected me as one of the outstanding men to participate in the Thirty-Fifth Annual Beautillion Militaire. The Beautillion Scholarship Event will be held on April 9, 2022.

 

The Beautillion recognizes the achievements of African American males from Indianapolis area high schools. All participants attend weekly educational workshop sessions prior to the final event. Sessions cover topics from personal responsibility, finance, cultural issues, and respect for others, to community service, health issues, communication, and college expectations. The men of the 100 and other volunteers provide mentorship and assist Beaus with defining future goals.

 

Beautillion participants are also partially responsible for obtaining patron support for the Scholarship Fund. All net proceeds are directed toward scholarships and book awards which are distributed to the Beaus. Each beau receives either a scholarship or a book award which can be used at the college, or other institution of higher learning, of his choice.

 

I hope that we can count on your support. I welcome any contribution that you are able to make. In order to be published in the souvenir book, please submit your contribution before Sunday, February 27, 2022.

 

With appreciation,

 

Uriah Wade

Future Goals:

As I look to my future goals, I would like to pursue a career in STEM, specifically the M - Mathematics. I am going to purse a career in Data Science. I would like to use my love for math to analyze, extract, and manage data in order create insights for a company to help them make better business decisions and to improve customer interactions by providing more effective services. To realize my career aspirations as a data scientist, I know I will need a strong sense of personal commitment and a strong work ethic to deliver results that matter.

 

After High School, the next chapter in my life will be college. I have the desire to attend a Historically Black College and University (HBCU); currently North Carolina A&T is my top choice, followed closely by Morehouse and Howard. I am very excited about college. I look forward to the next chapter in my life and the next level of opportunities and experiences, and I appreciate any support you can provide to help me realize my dream.

 

Sincerely

 

Uriah Travon Wade

We will become men, when we learn the art and science of manhood.

We vow to work to become men, to leave childhood, boyhood behind us.

We vow to seek knowledge of the best way to relate to ourselves, to our Almighty, to our families, and to the community.

We vow to know, to seek answers to who we were, who we are, and know where we are going.

We vow to be the positive example of manhood and Brotherhood, to be a Brother to Brothers, Brother to Sisters, and Brother to the community and institutions to which we belong.

We vow to work to make the place where we are better than the way we found it.

We vow to develop ourselves to save lives not take lives.

We will provide, protect, and secure life.

We will be constructive, not destructive.

We vow to live the "Seven Rs" of:

Righteousness

Respect

Responsibility

Restraint

Reciprocity

Rhythm

and Redemption

We know that life is hard work, but we accept that challenge for ourselves, for you, for life, for the future. Because the future is open, and we shall decide!
