I am still standing

Peace!

I am still standing through it all...

I feel as if it has been a while since I wrote a significant peace (piece) to share with my brothas and sistas. And in reality it has been awhile. I shall return in a few on a more improved Black Tip. I am currently battling to settle issues with school. A sista is going on her last year of college! (It is all GOD) I count it a blessing, but as a Black African American sista I swear the system will try to keep our people back/down by any means necessary. I will not give up this good fight. This fight is only making me stronger. I may be under stress yet I know I will come out on the top. I am realizing today the poor education statistics of African American students from grammar school, junior high/high school, and college correlate with some harsh social and economic realities. Yet the poor social and economic realities has prompted us a people to look to education.

I truly feel I am earning high quality education. My goal, focus, and main point of dedication will be to apply myself more to my books. The privilege I have to attend college is amazing. It is not because of man that I am here, simply God's will. At the end of the day he deserves all the glory, praise, and honor. I am just going through life. Setting my flow and going with it. That's all I can do right about now. I'm just asking all my brothas and sistas to keep me in your prayers as I journey through this last year. Faith without works is dead. "Always keep your faith in action." I must show myself approved before my King (God).

Be encouraged!
