I feel that more people need to think like Mr. Awuah and try to help where ever they can. Mr. Awuah started a private college in Africa with a class of 30. These 30 students have big dreams and large hopes for their future. Mr. Awuah coming from a good job in the U.S. to go to Africa to help others is very selfless and encouraging. When I say more people should think like him it's because later in the article he says that he could not handle just sitting back in his "middle class Seattle suburb, and do nothing." We get so comfortable with our own worlds/lives we don't think about what others need. In America we are very blessed with many things, we could spend some more time helping out, we don't have to go open a new school yet there are small things we can do to help.
