I was lucky enough to get a full ride though. But even so realizing that a lot of our ancestors died so that we would have opportunities to work and go to school only gave me that much more drive. I can't speak for every black person in this country, but it's pictures and shyt that my pops used to show me as a kid to remind me of how difficult it was. So I always reminded myself of that. And even if I couldn't afford a lot of the things most people could as a broke college student, it didn't compare to what my moms and pops went through just to raise me and keep a roof over my head. I put myself out there, I would practically harass potential employers, but it worked. And when it didn't, I went to seminars and conferences and shyt just to get they business cards and give my resume. So I'm sorry I don't empathize with a 21 year old white girl who didn't get hired for a job.
