Howard senior honored as Allstate Give Back Day Hero - washingtonpost.com: Sometimes Marquis Smith's friends have to remind him to eat or sleep.
The Howard University senior has a full course load and an internship, heads the School of Education's student council and volunteers throughout the District and the country.
Smith, 29, is one of four Allstate Give Back Day Heroes, a program honoring those who have followed in the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s footsteps.
'If I could get a degree in just helping people, that would be what my degree would be,' said Smith, wearing a T-shirt featuring a quote by Aristotle, 'Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.'
