Privileged, having the rare opportunity to do something that brings particular pleasures. Greetings I´m Justin Wright from Wichita, Kansas, and I am glad to welcome you to the Wiley College Odyssey Community. As Editor - In - Chief here I gladly welcome all to pick our minds, comment, and join in on the conversations we will be sharing. Join me now as I tell all in how I found Wiley College and accepted my purpose.

Beutillion is the scholarship program located in my home town of Wichita, Kansas established March 1976 by The Links Inc. predominately Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority women. This program has evolved myself and other African American boys into cultured men who are tracked through middle school, and High School to graduating seniors. As a youth scholar my fifth grade year I joined Beautillion and until my time as a senior I stayed loyal to the program.

The opportunity growing up in Beautillion was alike no other watching my brothers and family friends prosper through this program. It trueIy set the tone being a participate as a senior in High School not knowing the doors that would be opened for my life.

In Beautillion XXXVIII I entered as Heir- O -Link Beau Justin Wright, the Heir - O - Link title is given to Beau's who are legacy of Links. My mother Donna Wright has worked with the links 10+ years, even though she does not share the bond of Alpha Kappa Alpha with these extraordinary women.

From the choreographed dance routines to memorizing excerpts and poems from the Harlem Renissance to actually hustling up your scholarships by raffling $100 dollar gas cards, selling sunday dinners...etc.
