Just been thinking in the last five minutes or so. Was gonna call my girl and asked what she was wearing to a job interview that she has tomorrow. She hasn't held a "real" job since working during high school. Then I began to think about my situation and the fact that YES I am still in school while she has graduated and attending graduate school. Besides the fact that I am my own person and different than most....a comment she made popped into my head.
She was having a hard time finding a job. She thought about it, man if Brandi can have three jobs I know I can find one. Funny how people compare themselves to me. Anyway then I thought about the fact that she has graduated from an undergraduate program and I am working on my fifth year of school in August. I am working on a tough major....its not a walk in the park. I am taking my time because the outcome would benefit me for a lifetime also I am going to school and working. I have recently started taking less hours so I could improve my g.p.a. its working. I passed all three classes last fall!!! I am extremely proud of that. I have not done that since I began college.
I am proud of my friend for graduating but it made me think of my own shortcomings. I ought of be really proud of myself because I am a rare commodity. Its not often that you find a young black woman doing well like myself. Every once in a while I need that reminder. I am smart, holding down three jobs, and going to school. I have my own car and I do not have any children. I am beautiful and best of all I am saved by HIS grace. I am not lost because God shows me everyday the reason for being. I try not to let small things make me fret because again God is there is He is able to remove all heartache and pain.
Will try not to take so long to write next time. :)
