" Being honest with y'all: School Series part IV (Doubt)"
As you know, I'm a advocate of school and education. Further, even though I feel like a "old soul" I'm just a Young Brother like you; trying to find my way in life. Anyway, I want to be honest as always with y'all.
As I'm getting ready for school to start for me, I have a wide variety of emotions. I felt calm early, cool by the middle of the week, however by the end of this week I feel something I've never felt. I felt not nervous, but unprepared and anxious. Now, I have all my material for school and my brain/knowledge is more than ready. But, the inside of me felt weird and off.
I haven't elaborated on my personal life, because the Brown Brother is not about me. But, about all of Us. However, to understand my dilemma you must understand my situation.
I am a incoming college freshman. Attending a college that I like, but am not familiar with. I'm taking a full load of classes (which is 12 credit hours) and I'm ready for the work.
However, the feeling that have come over me is anxiety I guess. I feel unprepared, at times (before even going to the first class) inadequate, and overly uncertain about what lies ahead.
I bet this is a feeling that many of My Brothers have. However, this is new for me. I'm used to butterflies in my stomach, but not uncertainty. No, this is different for me.
Therefore, as I going through my feeling. I thought it would be best to share how I'm feeling and what you can do to change this mindset.
As you start school maybe middle, high-school, or college. You may feel nervous or not ready for what coming next. But, I'm here to tell you to take it easy. I don't mean take school-work lite, but take the journey of trying to accomplish yet another goal with grace and determination.
You may be a freshman with anxiety or a senior with uncertainty. But, no matter what; have faith in GOD and do like Nike says: "Just Do It!"
You are going to feel strange and stereotypes as well as doubt will creep into your head. But, don't let doubt freeze you. As Young Black Males, education is beyond important. That's why we must do what we got to do. We are too strong to let fear (False Evidence Appearing Real ) beat Us.
In closing, the work will be hard and some of your teachers will trip; but you are a King. You are the champion of your mind. You are the man, therefore "Stick your chest out, keep your head up, and handle every situation that comes your way."
Sincerely, Your Brother
The Brown Brother
