Wow guys, has it been 7 months already?
My my time goes so fast when you don't realise it. Well in that 7 months , I have finished college with good references and in good graces as well. I am now a student at a university which excites me to no avail and also as of last friday, I am now the conference rep for this said university. I'm very excited for this journey that I am about to embark on. Law school is really hard but I can do it.
When I think about where I am today, it's almost laughable. I remember in primary school and secondary school teachers never believed that I could be any more than a stereotype. That because I was a certain colour, my life had to turn out in a certain way. And for a few years I believed it. They were adults so they must have known what they were talking about but it was total crap.
I have come to value myself and to invite failure into my life because it pushes me to be better and smarter and work harder. And by doing that , I have achieved Presidency at at my previous university, an award from Women Together for my hard work with Umatter Choicess Centre , was Award Role Model of the month by another charity with a surprise mini reception etc.
This is just a thought that is going through my mind and I thought I should share. A lot of people believe the negative things said about them and allow themselves to live in that negativity and I am simple saying that you shouldn't. Self value is the most important thing that we have. Appreciate who you are and work hard on who you want to be. Only YOU can change that and it's time you started to believe that you can be who you want to be. It won't be easy and you'll want to give up a lot of the time but the most important thing is that you DON'T.
