A while back I had a random conversation about life in general with some
young brothers in the barbershop. During the conversation, I let it
slip that I had went to college and obtained a college degree.
One guy stopped me in the middle of speaking and he said, " Yo, man how does that feel to have one?'
And I replied, " It feels kinda good!"
He told me that he wanted to shake my hand so that some of that luck
might rub off on him because he was in school and his financial aid was
about to run out.
In that moment it really humbled me because I too remembered that hunger and the struggle that I went through to get it.
The moral of story is this: Never take your accomplishments for
granted. Always remember that someone just like you is still fighting to
get to where you are in life.
Never forget the bridges that have allowed you to cross over to the promised land.
Special thanks to all of those people that helped me to study/ cram for
those exams in college. Most importantly I want to thank my friend that
proofread my work and introduced me to those brilliant words and anecdotes
that allowed me to fill up those long papers in college as well.
Without you I shudder to think if I would have ever made it out of college. The writing lab really paid off tremendously
