Hopeful – November 23, 2008
Thank you . When I was a young woman in my 20's I was told what's the point of going to college, many go and still can't find a good job. I knew that would not be my truth. When I got to college I was told many brothers wanted white girls. Also, there were far more sisters on campus too compared to brothers. I was told it might be rough. It was never rough for me, always had a date, always asked to dance at the parties. By my sophomore year I was in love, by my senior year I was engaged. Everytime I spoke of my dreams I was told statistics, I always ignored them, in my mind I could always choose my reality. I came from a single parent home and I came from abuse and I had no father to love me. But still I believed I could and I would have everything I wanted. And I have it all, everything I ever dreamed could be possible.
