Withdrawing Inspiration.
Dr. Joycelyn Elders is an outstanding example of an African American woman, who used education as a vehicle for her success, not stopping with the basics, but achieving the most inconceivable of degrees and positions through her dedication to being educated. She never let her level of position or status cloud her judgment and alter her beliefs. Dr. Elders is an inspiring woman in which staying true to oneself, keeping adamant about your beliefs, and achieve the highest level of education and applying your knowledge to your potential field can all be withdrawn from who she is and all of her accomplishments.
