For 21 years, you took care of me, nurtured, be there when I need someone to talk to the most and gives me advice when I need them the most. I know that I am sometimes my stubbornness, craziness drives you crazy and you get mad but at the end of the day we got each other's back. I honestly don't what I would have done without right here by side. A lot of things has happened over the year but you never loose faith, discourage or give up on us. I know sometimes you feel like we don't appreciate you or listen to you believe me when I say that we do, we listen to you. For ex, there things that I would love to do but because I know you wouldn't be happy about it then I stop myself from doing it. You taught my sisters and I that giving up isn't an option, you should always get back up and put a smile on your face. You taught us that we can be working and handle your family. You never have a day off its work after work. You inspire us so much, through you we find the courage to move on, get up and fight again, to always do what's right and respect our elders.

On your days off, you take care of your household; you even do it before going to work. You are our number support, cheerleader, provider and caretaker. Being a Caribbean, Black, woman in America isn't easy. I know you've through a lot but still manage to maintain to smile, laugh everyday. We know sometimes it was hard for you raising us because we know that we give you headaches. I could go on and on about you but words can't really describe it or thank you enough for what you've done for us. The only way we know that we know for sure that will make you happy is when we are walking on that stage when they call our names and hands us our diplomat that you'll feel proud. You always tell us that educationist the key of everything. I know that we will make you proud our dream is for us to spoil you because God knows that you deserve it. People who know you, know about how a great person that you are; you would though hell and back for us. I know you gave up a lot just so we could have a great future and not to worry about a thing; always put your family needs before your own.

I just want you to know that your efforts won't be in vain, we will be successful, we will make you proud; you always say that the reason why you are going through what you are going is because you want the best for us well I promise you that it be won't be. I love you to the moon back and thank you again mom.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
