The monster crept around the corner. Emily shuddered in fear. It didn't sound like it was made from flesh and bone - it sounded like it was made of metal, or something. It made a creepy clicking sound. She decided to take a peek, against her better judgment. She turned the corner, and what she saw horrified her. It had red, glowing eyes. But they looked like lights, instead of pupils. It shifted its gaze to her. She gasped and turned back around, shutting her eyes tightly. It's a robot... she thought. That was insane to her! Before she could fully open her eyes again, those bright red lights blared into her face as she screeched.

I was born during the Civil Rights movement. My parents wanted to name me Malcolm to honor Malcolm X, and so they did. Even as a kid, I noticed how I was treated unfairly - because of my skin color, I was different, at times I even felt like I was less. But the support of my parents and the words of speakers like Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X helped me push myself. When Malcolm X and MLK were assasinated, I promised myself I would achieve as much as I could, regardless of how the world treated me. Now, I'm an award-winning doctor, and instead of working for a white doctor, I own a hospital and run it myself. I help my people, as we only move forward by pulling each other up first, and that's an ideology I bring to my hospital, including its patients, doctors, nurses, volunteers, and everything in between.
