Back to school motivation/goals.






I find out that when I set goals, I have more purpose and direction. As Young Black Males, we must strive to achieve goals and go past the bars that anyone sets. Therefore, this year as you are beginning or have began school; set goals. Education is one of the most important things that you can receive. Therefore, achieve and achieve again. Rather striving to get a B+ instead of a B. Or rather that means running for class president, trying out for the basketball team, or striving for Valedictorian. Always have goals in mind and do your best to make the dram a reality.






Further, don't fall into the trap of mediocrity or "lack of." What I mean by this is, I know school is hard and time consuming. However, it is what it is. Therefore, enjoy the classroom and the new things you can learn. Also, never settle for okay or make a excuse for being just average. Now, I know some school-work/test are just plain unfair. However, give it your all. Tutors, online lessons, and studying on the weekends are just a few ways to go from okay to excellent.


Last, find motivation and that silver lining.






Again, as I stated: School is Crazy Sometimes. As a Young Brother who is in school right now, this year is going to be a pain in the ....................(while you know the saying).






But, instead of me being depressed or giving up I'm going to use motivation and my personal goals to get me over the obstacles. I see the statistics, traps, and hate that society has for Us. Therefore, I use this for motivation. I use the fact that I can be a educated Black Male In America as motivation. I use the fact that I can be a active example in my community as motive.






You must find your motivation, My Brother. You must never let anyone/anything defeat you or deflate you. Be persistent and always be relevant. The fight ain't easy and a lot more hell is around the corner. However, the reward is great. And, the strong always win. Therefore, fight for every opportunity and every chance to succeed. Do this with honesty, strength, awareness, and full effort. And, believe Me: YOU WILL SUCCEED.

RIP Mr. Dick Gregory

Mr. Dick Gregory was much more than a comedian. To simply say he was a comedian would almost water-down his greatness. The greatness in which he used a comedic style to educate those of various generations and philosophies. Mr. Dick Gregory was a man of intelligence, sophistication, and humor. Mr. Gregory was a truth seeker and one whom understood that a man must always investigate the conspiracy as well as facts written in the open to truly get a possible understanding of this cryptic world. Baba Gregory understood the importance of health and taking care of one's body. He understand the importance of a healthy spiritual life, and having a true connection with the one true universal GOD. And, the importance of being aware of our ancestors whom came before we all did. Furthermore, Mr. Gregory understood the importance of mental awareness, and the idea to continue to read and learn throughout the journey of life. Mr. Gregory activism and platform is beyond great, and very ...

FASFA

I try to explore different topics and ideas to discuss/share on the blog. While going through some papers and looking through some stuff, I remember that I forget to write about this topic. Therefore, today we are going to talk about FASFA. First, you may ask, "What is FASFA." FASFA is federal aid or money for going to college. Although they said "federal aid", it is basically tax that is set aside for students who want to go to college, but need money to help pay for college. FASFA is available to students who have need and are looking to attend college (certificate program, associate degree, or 4 year degree). You need to fill out FASFA every year. FASFA should be filled out by any and every student. It is something that will without a doubt helpful in paying for school. A simple summary is basically this: (1) Wait until you or parents file Income Tax (2) Go to this website- https://fafsa.ed.gov/ (3) Create a account (4) Fill out all of the informat...

Short Story of the Fatherless Black Male

I wrote this in the backseat of a car during a road trip. This post may have a couple of grammar errors and a couple of different ideas. But, this is how I truly felt. Let's get into it. I can't sugar-coat it or make it seem insignificant. Point blank, being a young black male without a father sucks. It worse than the stench of rotten eggs, and it feels worse than being hit by a truck at high speed. Being a fatherless male is like having half of your self taken away at birth. Being a father black male means going through life without a round-the-clock mentor, a disciplinary, a friend, a dad. I mean having a mom is a blessing within itself. Most fatherless males usually have a mom. However, if it took two to create, then it is best to take two to mold and build. And, let's be honest, it's some questions no dude feels comfortable or feels right asking their mom. That is just one of the reason why not having a father sucks. At the very least, it is a inconvenien...
