Caval Spearman, Jr

On June 7, 2022, I will graduate from Morgan Park High School in Chicago IL. Approaching this date, I have really spent a lot of time thinking about what I want to do with my life and I have reflected on my time at Morgan Park HS. I have learned what it means to be passionate and have a purpose. As a freshman in high school, I started a media program called MPTV(Morgan Park Television). It was created to spread positive content about our school community through videography, photography, live streams, and broadcasting. I created this program because I saw a need for positivity at our school. As I reflect, I realized that the program has turned into more than one common goal to be a service to our school that we love, but it has become a family. MPTV has taught me sacrifice, leadership, media skills, preparation, dedication, organization skills and school spirit. When the program started, I was the only student that was a part of the program. I attended as many events, games, and performances as possible with my camera always in hand. Now MPTV has a studio at Morgan Park and fifteen dedicated students in the program. Even through the challenges of getting the program off the ground, I realized the life lessons that it taught me. I could not have done it without the help of administrators and the students that have joined the program. We have all grown as a result of MPTV. Without a doubt, MPTV has been one of the greatest experiences of my life and I am super appreciative of the opportunities that it has given me. MPTV has helped me to develop a true passion for media as well as helping and entertaining others.

I have served as a high achieving student in my academic career. During my freshman year I was ranked in the top ten in a class of three hundred and twenty three students.. In my sophomore year I was ranked twelfth in my class. In my junior year I was ranked thirteen in my junior class. I am currently still thirteen in the class of 2022. Through high school, I wanted to make sure that I was focused on my academics and studies. I looked for many opportunities to grow in my pursuit of happiness in my education. I took many college level classes and was also selected for the University of Chicago’s Collegiate Scholars Program. This program only selects 50 sophomore students each year for the program. I have a passion for learning and growing and my education is important to my success as an African American man in society. I strive to be the best version of myself in my educational career and this is what is urging me to take my journey into college and life. I am extremely grateful to be accepted into several colleges as a mass communications major as well as a cinema television major. My goals for the next four years of my academic career is to first graduate from a HBCU with a GPA of 3.5 or higher. I pride myself on giving my academics one hundred percent of my effort. As a University of Chicago Collegiate Scholar,  I finished the program with all A’s and B’s. This is what led me to believe that I can continue my path of high achievement as a  college student. Secondly, I plan to be involved on campus in many organizations using my leadership skills, media knowledge, and giving spirit to have a  full experience of college. 

Furthermore, I will continue to grow Opinionation LLC which is a media company created by myself to impact society in a special way using my platform and my love of media. My goal is to make Opinionation a global network and to use my platform to inspire and entertain others through media. I will achieve my goals by focusing on what is important to me and allowing God to use me as a beacon of faith and hope for others. God has blessed me and I want to continue to give back to him and his people through my art of media and my life in general.
