That I could do whatever I wanted, that I had so much potential, that I was going to be someone.
When people remember this they either think they're crazy for believing this or don't think that it is true.
Maybe I am crazy for always believing it, in my little girl mind this has only grown to an insane passion to do something so great.
On days where I am so overwhelmed or put down, I remember all the people who have led me here.
Last Friday night I went to go see Cornel West speak, among many other great intellectuals here. What an honor to be in his presence, I thought reading his words was amazing, hearing him, seeing him is so empowering!
This is a quote of his:
"I have tried to be a [wo]man of letters in love with ideas in order to be a wiser more loving person, hoping to leave the world just a little better than I found it."
— Cornel West
