Marcus Rolls Encourages Continuing Education

Education opens doors and is a key to success. This belief encourages many people to stay in school. The hope of greater opportunity spans many ethnicities and age groups. Many parents and community leaders hope that the youth will follow through with their schooling because little can be done without 12 or more years of school.

One of the most recent events that Marcus Rolls attended through his membership with the Rotary Club of Houston was a talk at a Houston middle school. The purpose was to encourage children to not give up on themselves or their education. Marcus Rolls acted as the “master of ceremony” for the event, which featured two college football players as speakers. 

Marcus Rolls understands it is easy for children to lose the message their parents instill in them about education. Even the encouragement of teachers can be forgotten because they see teachers so often. But, to have notable figures such as football players come and speak to children can compound the wisdom of others.

Marcus Rolls appreciates that not every child has the opportunities that he did growing up as a child. Marcus Rolls grew up not far from the middle school where the education outreach event was held. It is Marcus Rolls’ and others hope that the children who live in Houston will take the message of other educated adults to heart and ignore the temptations outside of school.

Marcus Rolls is a proud member of the Rotary Club of Houston. As a prosperous figure, he has promised to use his position to serve others. One of the committees in the club is specifically targeted towards education. Through various community targeted events like the event at the school, Marcus Rolls hopes to direct the community towards a greater future.
