A long way to graduation.

Posted By: LaToya Williams on September 12, 2007


It's been a long hard road for me to get to the point that I am about to graduate. There were people who should a have been uplifting me and encouraging me to further my education, but instead they tried to knock me down and keep me beneath them.



Now I know I'll be through with this chapter of my life and for everyone who made it harder for and on me look where I am now. The DEVIL is a LIAR and I will graduate when I said I would because only I can determine my worth, noone else can. From this day on I will try to strive for the best and not let anyone HARSH WORDS OR ACTIONS get me down that is a pledge that I am making to myself. Good Job La'Toya! Noone has to be Happy for me but me! And "what GOD has for me is for me"

Great prespective. You are doing well and all of us are proud of you. Life is truly not a crystal stair. We all are striving to be the very best that we can be in spite of the challenges that life throws our way. Be encouraged, lil sis.

Isnt life funny. Why dont we encourage each other more? Why do we want others to fail? I experienced the same thing back in the early 80s in my little rural Ga hometown. The "crab mentality" was alive and well. I guess I didnt aspire to stay in my place. I cant say that I had many friends back in the day but I saw it through. The funny thing is the looks I get when I come home now to visit my parents. What a difference a day makes.
