With the ability to walk in any room and adapt to their constantly changing environments. They put family, honor, integrity,principles, and morales above anything else. With a desire to leave the world in a better place than where they have found it. A Hood-Scholar is a solid and reliable individual that has no problem helping those in need. When a leader is needed they will step up to the role. Hood-Scholars are heavy to “sticking to the script” unless those rules contradicts or threatens the principles of a humane and the betterment of humanity. Utilizing everything they have gained from all walks of life. They solve problems from the wisdom accumulated either thought books, common sense, or street smarts.
