I've heard stories of men and women who have made historic changes to this world.

Men and women who have inspired generations.

One of these influential beings is Scientist Robert E. Jones.

I admire Dr. Jones' research. His knowledge in genetics and Artificial Intelligence is unmatched.

He has spent the last decade trying to find a way to make humans perfect.

The world we live in has been through so much crime, segregation, corruption, self-obsession.. just to name a few, that maybe it is time for a change. I support his efforts to try and make humans better as a species.

It's about time someone stands up for those who have spent most of their lives living in suffering.

I grew up in the slums in the city... just like Dr. Jones himself. He was never that rich man that he is today. He came from the slums.. tending to the needy who were overlooked and never admitted into hospitals. He vowed to make a change... and he did.

He found the cure to cancer and now he was trying to find a cure to the sins of the world.

The only bad thing is that he forgot where he came from... he forgot about the people who surrounded him in the past.

Travis, my thirty year old best friend introduced me to Dr. Jones. In the library, he would show me videos of the lectures he gave at prestigious institutes. Afterwards, he would tell me how he would give lectures to the people living in shacks, but they never truly understood what he said..

Travis said he used to be a different person back then.. he cared about the poor but it seemed that he didn't belong there. He didn't belong amonst those who didn't understand simple science. He belonged amongst the intellectual... and that's where he is now.

Both of my parents died while I was very young.. I was taken to an orphanage, but I wasn't going to let that place define my future.

I escaped, ready to face the world no matter what it threw at me.

I am now 19 years old... and I am ready to show the world who I truly am.

Just like Dr. Jones, it is time for me to inspire future generations.

Time for me to make history.
