In the country, we live in minorities pray for glory, freedom, and peace

We live in a country wherein a minority neighborhood, there is a liquor store or drug store on every corner but in Beverly Hills or Casablanca there is not.

We live in a country that was built by slaves, and laws were made by criminals.

We live in a country where a dog's life is worth more than a man in the court of law.

We live in a country where the Constitution states that "All men are equal", however in 1776 minorities were property and this same Constitution is still cherished so dearly.

We live in a country where when minorities protest, it's considered rioting according, to the media.

We live in a country where the law says African Americans are free but we are the leading race to be imprisoned because of a 1994 Crime Bill.

We live in a country where two different ethnicities go to prison for the same crime but receive a vast difference in sentencing and the other ethnicity is released early because he had goals to be an Olympic swimmer.

We live in a country where a minority can stand with his hands in the air and still get shot multiple times by the people who are supposed to protect us.

John Legend says "When they Glory comes it will be ours when the war is won we will be sure", minorities have a long way to go we have made progress but victory isn't won, yet!

If everyone who knows the problem comes together we will win and we will be sure to win!

Glory, Freedom, Peace is all we as one want, until then WE will stand up with our hands in the air and fight for everything we want and deserve!!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
