Drs. Davis,Hunt,and Jenkins

My group is Drs. Davis, Hunt,and Jenkins they were 3 boys that grew up in the projects most people around them figured they would not make it out of 8th grade getting involved with drugs or crime.

Drs.Davis, Hunt,Jenkins had not conformed to all the negativity around them they stayed patient and determined to stay out of crime and drugs.People in their neighborhood were selling drugs and making tons of money eventually they knew that person would end up in jail. They had even grown up with no father. EVERYONE in their neighborhoods had not made it to college or finished. They also had tons of peer pressure to get involved in drugs and even stealing, one of them had been tricked to steal a carpet cleaner. Drugs were like a virus even if they were only selling and in their neighborhood it was contagious 99% of people had been involved in selling drugs.

Growing up in the projects people are always trying to show their toughness whenever the best one dealing with it was George he did not really care what others think but Sampson always had to hide his grade whenever someone saw them he said he cheated. Rameck was in catholic school for a while and eventually they tried to put him in special ed. so he went back to public school and maintained great grades.

They all met in 10th grade when they became good friends eventually they had been talking about what they went to do after high school so they got to leave class to go watch a presentation about Seton hall after they had made their pact to make it through medical school.

College was difficult for them from the start because school was so easy for them and that all changed when they were feeling like they could not do this they helped each other and the counselor helped them by lighting a fire in them she often checked on the regularly. Eventually George left them and went to dental school and it got harder for them to focus even though Sampson and Rameck were still together. Carla still checked in on them and inspired them to focus.

Today Drs. Davis, Hunt, and Jenkins are giving their story to many people through literature, news interviews and coming talk to kids on how to face adversity and persevere through it. Today they have influenced tons of children growing up in the projects and other places they are a living example of you could do anything as long as your determined and willing to work for it.

NO TRUST

High school

As children they could not trust many people they learned that the hard way Rameck always say "I'm going out with my boys tonight." One day while they were out a drug addict had bought crack from one of Rameck's friends and started to smoke it on school property and they got mad.

Rameck and "his boys" got arrested for beating up a drug addict.

They tried missing the assembly to go play basketball and the principal had seen them and escorted the to the assembly.

They when they heard that Seton hall was free it really motivated them to go

Rameck had sprayed his teacher with silly string and almost got kicked out of school.

Getting the Degree!

When Sampson was little his brother made him lift a 200lbs block and it fell and smashed Sampson's foot.

Rameck had beat up a kid for trying to stand up to Rameck in front of his cousins.

After eight years in college they had finally became doctors and a dentist it was easy Rameck and George to get a job in dentistry and medicine but Sampson could not find jobs in what in medicine he was passionate about until he found an opening online at the same hospital that influenced him to become a doctor in the field he was passionate about.

When Sampson was little his brother told him to hold a 200lbs stone and it fell on his foot sending him to the hospital where he got his job.

Sampson's doctor influenced him because of how friendly he was and he was so intrigued by the x-ray of his foot.

When Rameck was little he was always going to the hospital for bad cuts and bruises that's what got him to want to be a doctor.

George wanted to become a dentist because he liked all the tools that the dentist got to use on his braces.
