“My Education Without Artificial Intelligence” – Legacy Passage (Thesis Included)

Thesis: This body of work documents an education earned through personal discipline, financial sacrifice, and rigorous study—without reliance on artificial intelligence or academic shortcuts. It stands as factual testimony to the value of preparation, persistence, and self-driven excellence, especially during moments of global disruption and cultural shift.

I didn’t borrow brilliance—I built it.

Several degrees. Every class paid for out of pocket. Every paper written by hand, every thesis shaped by sweat and solitude.

While others outsourced their thinking, I was up before dawn, reading chapters before the syllabus caught up, crafting index cards like sacred texts, walking into classrooms with prepared questions professors hadn’t yet asked.

I didn’t party—I prepared. I didn’t coast—I climbed.

I earned a master’s degree during the COVID-19 pandemic. While the world shut down, I stayed focused. No AI, no plugins, no digital crutches—just me, my mind, and the grind.

I studied harder, not because I was naturally gifted, but because I refused to quit.

I earned honor society recognition multiple times—not through shortcuts, but through consistency, discipline, and old-fashioned research.

This isn’t just my education. It’s my protest.

Against the myth of effortless genius. Against the erasure of effort.

I am not the product of AI.

I am the proof that earned success still matters.

Short Lesson Plan: STOP Strategy

Grade Level: Middle School, High School, families or Community Workshop Duration: 30–45 minutes Audience: Youth, Parents, Educators, Community Leaders

🧠 Learning Objectives (with examples)

• Identify personal warning signs that signal rising conflict Example: A student recognizes that when their hands clench and their heart races, they’re about to lose control.
• Practice the STOP → THINK → CONSEQUENCES sequence in role-play scenarios Example: A youth worker guides a student through a mock hallway conflict using the strategy.
• Reflect on the impact of behavioral choices in real-life situations Example: A parent shares a story about walking away from a heated argument and how it changed the outcome.

🎯 Learning Outcomes (with examples)

• Students will describe their physical, emotional, and cognitive warning signs Example: “When I feel disrespected, my chest tightens and I want to yell. That’s my STOP signal.”
• Students will demonstrate the NIC STOP sequence through role-play Example: In a classroom skit, a student pauses, steps back, and calmly explains their feelings after THINKING.
• Students will evaluate consequences of behavior using real or hypothetical examples Example: “If I had shouted back, I might’ve been suspended. But because I walked away, I got praised for maturity.”

Bio: Moe Jackson

My first experience with firearms was in 2022 at a pawn shop. I held one for the first time—a Glock 44—then went to get my permit to purchase and bought it. A couple of weeks later, I took it to the range, fired those first few rounds, and immediately knew my life had changed from just a few shots of .22 LR. From that point on, I began researching day in and day out, learning everything I could about that gun, the rules around owning and using it, and the history of firearms in general.

Not long after, I purchased a second Glock chambered in 9mm and enrolled in an online gunsmithing school to deepen my knowledge. Around the same time, I was hired at a local gun store and range, with the hope of eventually working alongside the gunsmiths there. As I quickly discovered, many of the more intensive jobs require more than online coursework, but I am steadily progressing. In the meantime, I have learned a great deal from the gunsmiths—how to properly maintain firearms, what concerns to watch for in different designs, and how to resolve common issues with ease. I am grateful for their willingness to share their expertise and help me continue on my journey.

As a range safety officer, I have also gained valuable insight into the common issues and mistakes people encounter when selecting a firearm for home protection, concealed carry, or recreational shooting. One of my favorite aspects of the job is helping to dispel misconceptions about various firearms and guiding people toward the most appropriate choice from a practical perspective, rather than one based on optics or politics. Especially when choosing a weapon for self-defense and the protection of loved ones, there is much to consider—not only the firearm itself but also the equipment, training, and mindset required to ensure it fulfills its role should the need ever arise.
