I keep it real. No lie.Up and Coming MLK Sophomore Looks to Change the World
By: Bianca Mgbemere
When I sat down with Justin London he seemed chill, as evidenced by him laying back in his chair, his cocked hat, and his overall relaxed manner.
Justin was born in Murfreesboro, TN and attends Martin Luther King Jr. Academic High School. Justin enjoys writing poetry and told me that when he realized he could write it changed his life. It all began when he was at church and the words just started flowing from how the congregation moved him. He feverously wrote down his thoughts while still sitting amongst the crowd. When he got home he rewrote his piece and realized it was really good, this prompted him to perform it at a showcase in Florida. When I asked him if the crowd liked it he smiled and said, "They were loving it!"
Justin also enjoys listening to slow, calm music, running track, and girls, he said comically. Justin likes to hang out with cool, laid back people- the kind of people that don't get into trouble.
Another life changing event was when his sister got pregnant at age 18. He couldn't believe that someone he grew up playing with would in turn grow up and have that much responsibility. This taught him to stay young as long as he can and not try to become an adult too fast. But when Justin does reach adulthood, he wants to change the world.
First, he will start by graduating from high school and going to college. After college he wants to become a famous actor who plays dramatic, realistic rolls. With the newfound fame of being an actor Justin will develop his writings into books and give speeches on serious topics. After that Justin will get into politics and one day attempt to become president.
