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.

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...

Personal Finance for Black Males

I don't follow Kanye West on any social media outlet. I don't listen to any of Kanye West music, and when he become "Kanye West Kardishian", I really stopped listening to him. However, every since he was approaching his album release, he has been tweeting like a mad man. He has been trending non-stop on Twitter, and a lot of his tweets have been outrageous. However, one caught my attention and the attention of countless others. He stated in one of his tweets that he is "53 Million Dollars" in personal debt. Now, I think that Kanye is either a good actor or mentally insane. But, either way, if he owes 53 million dollars to anybody then this is beyond shameful. I heard that Kanye is begging Facebook's owner (Mark Zuckerberg) for money and is asking for people to pray for him. Now, I have zero sympathy for Kanye West. But, I do feel that he is not the same Kanye West that everyone respected. He is not the same Jesus Walks, Kanye. But, anyway this mad...
