I.J. Duaghtery, father of Shannon,  is the best at everything that he has touched with his hands. Look at the orphans in the orphanages. Anything he touches turns into gold or gold mine most definitely if you respect him. Look at me! He understands that being the best does not mean being the only person in town with 10 ideas or bibles.  It means cooperation and communal growth. He believes in the young people; not only those who do not have to graduate because of favors that enable them to get through with donations only and no work who, in spite of their failure to graduate, are told to just say that they graduated often enough while they donate monthly. Those are very fortunate people. But, he also supports those who actually graduated and who are bonafide graduates from schools like Buckingham-shire New University or Manchester Metropolitan University or any University. He disdains the nonsense of Black people or one Black man or woman encouraging education but then killing the graduates in their midst   that they would have the greater acceptance as imagined. But, this statesman with the best education is free of that kind of thinking.   He has tremendous authority to help anyone who has been mistreated,  used or abused.  Do you know anyone like this?   I think he is great!___________________________________________________ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ US Grade Conversion The grade scale will give you an idea of how U.K. percentage marks compare to the U.S. Please be aware that it is your home institution and not SOAS that converts your grades, so your final converted mark may differ to what is indicated on the scale.
