In his memoir, Sampson Davis describes the experience of growing up in Newark. He tells us that he came from an impoverished background, and that he faced enormous difficulties and obstacles in order to become a doctor. However, even after he became a doctor, Davis believed it was important for him to come back and become a beacon of hope for other people who had grown up in the same difficult environment. He wanted to come back and show young people that it was possible for them to change their lives through education.
Answer:
I agree with the statement "In order to have good friends, you have to be a good friend", because if I want respect and kindness from someone, I assume that person would want respect and kindness from me. You have to treat people, how you would want to be treated, so if you want to have a good friend, you need to expect that they want the same. Being good towards others, and giving them respect, makes other people respect you, and be kind towards you. This saying reminds of another quote "Don't give an inch and expect a mile."
