From Felicia to Black People all over the world. I wrote this outline for a speech when I was young and idealistic and ever hopeful for my people.
I. Why do Blacks need an education.
A. Blacks need a chance because they need to understand the necessity of an education in today's society.
1. You are expected to fail.
2. You are looked down on and other people don't expect you to succeed.
3. You have to deal with prejudice of teachers.
4. You must understand that you can't make it on your own. No man or woman is an island.
5. You should want to succeed because of what your ancestors went through. We have contributed and will continue to do so.
II. Never let anyone tell you ... you can't make it, can't learn, can't evolve.
A. Don't get discouraged because they don't realize how much an education means to you. It is tantamount to a challenge.
1. Strive on when times get bad...hold on to your goal and strive forward. Push, pull whatever it takes but try to make it. If you fail get up and try again.
2. Set a goal...If they can make it...so can I (say to self) over and over. You are your own motivator.
3. When people look down on you...ignore them and keep on trying. I have learned to say bless you and move on.
B. Always relax sometimes and refresh your thoughts.
C. Stay around positive people who have your best interest at heart. Even if they don't try to gain something from the interaction.
1. People who want something...not negative people. But I have found that there are no really negative people but just does who have been trampled upon and their dreams dented but not gone.
2. Find out how does it feel to fail...experience it and find empathy with those struggling and keep this thought and resolve to encourage them and move on.
D. Learn to deal with obstacles.
1. Get rid of them as soon as possible
2. Do whatever it takes to get rid of osbstacles. Just be aboveboard in your approach.
III. Know that you are a winner and if you lose...resolve yourself to the fact that I can be a
winner also and strive forward. There are no real losers in God's eye.
IV. Conclusion - Show that Blacks can achieve and know this we feel that we are entitled and blessed as anyone else to have the privelege to reflect that we feel honor bond to give back.

I wish you success in whatever endeavor you pursue...competition is always good for the progression of a nation.
