family is a very hard aspect of education, especially when they disagree with you. I live back in Norway and I'm taking some courses here and there, have a vague interest in photography, an ever vaguer interest in psychology.. god knows what to become. To all you who KNOW what you WANT to have as a profession, you are truly inspirational to dare what you dare. Do not waste your life on other peoples own opinions. It is a complete impossibility to satisfy everyone. Good luck to all the Masters!
When I was a kid - white, Irish background - kids would brag about how badly they were doing at school, and I copped the same crap; "you think you're smart, don't ya?"
same crap at the beach from other surfers. they'd even diss Mark Richards, a 4 time world champ, for "thinking he's somebody." Richards was as humble as they come.
The thing is going to college is becoming the de facto average for this day and age. No longer college is for rich to higher middle-class white people. Now a lot of people is having degree.
You now go to college not to have a good life, but only to potentially have the average life that everyone else have.
College is becoming the next high school. High school was a place that the previous generation go just to be "average".
Im 17, Im a girl, Im a Black African.. been in college since 15.. gonna get a barchelor's degree in architecture and minors in this and that and im gonna go back to Angola and make money like im avenging the time Im spending in college lol.
There's no way but up for me, and I DARE anybody to say otherwise. I'll make them feel dumber than they already are for discouraging me.
With our individual education lets murder ignorance together :)
It's the truth! It's also a generational thing. There's people in my family who are from the old school way of thinking and they look at me, a black woman in college trying to advance my future, as some kind of betrayal, or that I think I'm better than them just because I want to better my future. I'm 23 years old. I'm part of a generation that has the power to CHANGE and KILL IGNORANCE. There is absolutely no excuse for ANYONE to not work for their dreams! We have rise above the stereotypes.
I'm a black man with a master's degree and I find this hilarious!!! Especially when he say's "I can count too, 1,2,4,5...so what! Countin these rocks biootch!" ......I'M AN ACCOUNTANT....LOL
I've had this convo. Swore I'd never go to college because of the messed up shit involved in the "you're not really human until you get your degree" idea. But then I was talking to my kid bro about the Angry Young Men and my dad came in making dumb comments like he does every time I talk about art or history with the kid, until my bro won't listen to another word. And I got pissed off at him at first, and then I checked my own self. I have my GED in 2 weeks, afterward I plan to study vet tech.
@k4m1k4z3273 just came bak from vegas and i was in a strip club and yeellin to every stripper, 1245...Im countin these ROCKS BIOTCH...!!! my friend was cracking up
This is a huge problem among the black and Latino Communities: the idea that if you go to school and are studious you are somehow "acting white." We need to eliminate that mindset. Continuing to live in the Ghetto and acting street and defining that as Black or Latino only perpetuates the stereotypes racist whites have about us being derelicts.
@OlderG0ds No, I think they want it to be like that. sure you can act ignorant like when we are born we gt urges to break the law, but at one point they'd never show a black person on the front page of a news paper unless they where committing a crime, look at TV do you ever wonder why they cast so many black people as thugs or promote music more that makes us look that way?
I grew up in the ghetto; I have family that are still in the ghetto. They looked at me like I was crazy when I told them that "I want to go for my Ph.D in computer science.". The first words to come out of their mouth "What, you think you're better than us? You ain't shit. It's all about making money, fuck that school shit." Well, here I am, I got a career in computer science, and I am slowly working on my degree; they are working dead-end jobs and still living in the gutter.
@Banminator Thank you. It's very much true...I work in IT as a network administrator, and I am continuing my education to pursue my dreams of being the best at what I want to do. Poverty is my motivation for making my life better, and following my dreams makes my life worth living. As the old saying goes "The dreams of the past can only become reality by the actions made in the present."
@dancagurli Thank you. As a great man once said (he is a hero of mine, and was a very close personal friend of mine), he told me this. "If you wanna be a ditch digger, be the best damn ditch digger out there." Basically, if you are passionate about something, be the best at it. Doesn't matter how small, or how big. Be the best at what you do, and always give 110% every time you do it.
@someguy510bayarea My mother said sort of the same thing to me... going to college, huh? Think you're better??? She lives in a motor home with no AC or heat and travels around to swap meets selling the crap she bought at the last swap meet. Oh, yeah... I'm white.
@someguy510bayarea you do that , and you do that , and not think for a second what they'll tell you what you can or can't not do. You are the person who decides your future. You only live once , what is meaningful to you is the most important to you.
the worst enemy the black man has is a black man, they try to drag each other down and the ones that make it are terrible role models and mostly encourage stupidity. Good for you, leave those fools behind!
@someguy510bayarea Then guess what, everyone who gave you that response are assholes even if they are your close family because for someone who wants to get out of that shit and actually do something with their life is an achievement in itself and another thing if they can't be happy for you, then they don't deserve you, that's my motto in life. All the best for the job and the Ph.D :)
@someguy510bayarea You chose the right field too...Computers are everywhere, so you're going to have a job or start a company thats gonna be around for a looooooong time...Get ya paper homie and good luck
I appluad you on furthering your education. I myself have a Bachelor's in Information and Computer Science and work as a network admin. Why do you feel tough to get on youtube and talk about your fam? You only got 1 fam remember that. I know I know I grew up in the hood too and escaped that life so what I still go back there and visit fam and friends. The same people you shit on on your way to the top may shit on you on your way to the bottem. Peace.
This is why you surround yourself with people that will bring positive things to your life and not ignorant people. I'm working on my bachelor's degree and if I were to ever get a reaction like that from one of my friends...guess what? That's the last time I'm speaking to his dumb ass. Surround yourself with intelligent positive people and your life will be better because of it. Shit just attracts more shit. Its a fact of life that I'm sure all of you are aware of.
@LTS1287 I couldn't agree more. I have stopped hanging around with people in the past due to the fact that they were trying to bring me down to their level.
@LTS1287 This response is so very narrow minded. Anyone who gave it a thumbs up should be ashamed as should you. You talk about escaping the shit, because shit attracts shit, but who helps those who are in the shit? Certainly not you. That is the nature of critical thought. You are spewing the tenets of a reified system. It is exactly what they want from you because people like you perpetuate the myth that equality is possible.
@Pigroota: I never said that you shouldn't try to help your fellow man. However you have to realize that there are people in this world that don't want to be helped and do nothing to help themselves. If you spend your time trying to save the world you'll come to realize that you never took time to help yourself. Sometimes being a little selfish is a good thing. You can't please everyone and you can't help everyone. You can only help those that want to be helped.
@LTS1287 That's fine, but I think helping people, through whatever means, is not about want, need or motivation of the helper or helpee, it is about responsibility. This system doesn't acknowledge this fact and it shines through in your comment. I am not saying you are a bad person. That is clearly not the case. I am saying you are as much a victim as those who live in squalour, the only difference is you have the opportunity and responsibility to help - but you don't
