I agree, Glock.
I cannot sit here and lie by saying that I've seen great adversity as a black man, I consider myself fortunate -- and also as the exception, not the norm. We must all do our part to combat the malicious actions that have been committed against us since we were dragged over here from Africa.
My contribution to the fight was definitely getting my ass back in school. Honestly, when you're financially comfortable, sometimes you lose sight of the importance of furthering your education. But I won't let the white man's dollar blind me to what I need to do for myself and for others. However, I will let him PAY for my education (tuition reimbursement, anyone? hehe) while I still have the opportunity to do so. Milk him!
I have big plans for myself and my community and want to enhance my communication skills, as well as fine tune my leadership skills, so I can use them more effectively. Not saying that I am going to be some activist, being "angry" definitely isn't my style. But it will be something that is true to my personality, while helping and uplifting my people. I'm excited and this is what is driving me through every assignment I complete.
Love you. <3
