Robert Nesta Marley
When his name is mentioned, it is linked
to no other place but Jamaica. His name
provokes the enthusiasm of natives as
well as foreigners, as his songs speak
truth and righteous living with our
brothers and sisters. Robert Nesta Marley
is a stalwart in the entire existence
of the Jamaican reggae culture as he
stood up for what he believed in.
He hails from a humble background and
his great musical works propelled him
to international stardom.
He is one of Jamaica’s greatest
cultural icon.
His songs speak truth.
His song “One Love” was
voted song of the century by Times Magazine.
His songs will forever touch the minds
and souls of each person who hears them.
In death his works still lives on
He is well respected; his name and his
songs will linger in the minds of several
generations to come.
I hope to complete my training in Food
SystemsTechnology at CASE,
actively serving God, and being a second
year student of medicine at a local
or North American university.
