Thank you for sharing.

would be fascinating to hear your story the other way around. how old were you when you moved to SVG?
-
whoa this part where you say you made more effort because of the other people in your class i thought that too in my third year in high school!(bout a year and a half ago)
-
... i admired my classmates. i was jealous of their youthful zeal. some were living foul but they were LIVING. mistakes need to be made when you're young. it's dangerous for young, black men in the inner city to make mistakes in school, in public, in the institutions, lest they get sent to institutions. but folks gotta live. even black boys. so the other kids were faring better than me in terms of LIFE. middle school showed me i had to live LIFE and measure my own success.

life is perception. what you hear is what i saw then. fighting in school. not good. not taking class seriously. not good. not seeing the connections between black history and the reality of brooklyn, ny in the late 80s. not good. everyone has their own style of processing info, so yes, i cannot say w/ 100% accuracy how the other kids faired. there are many measures of success. i am sharing what i perceived. their actions wasn't the good i wanted for myself. and as you will see in later videos...

perceptions of self have much more to do with academic achievement than mental acuity. i learned more in school when i liked myself more. why would anyone want to be somewhere, stuck for 6 hrs., if they are unsuccessful & the negativity is compounded by social phobias, anxiety & fear? we would tell any sane person to get out of such a relationship, wouldn't we? but you and i know ALL kids have to push thru and get from school what they must. the world demands it.

you know most surinam kids here in holland are like Jaleel.
My Example is a kid called Chairwin.
his face is set on uninterested and his bottom lip always hangs and his eyes are like
he never gets any sleep

maybe chairwin doesn't get any sleep? maybe he's up all night thinking about why he is the way he is but never figures it out b/c the tools he needs are taught in classes he never pays attention to b/c he stays up too late and is tired of problems with no answers for him. you never know what's in the hearts of men until you know yourself more. get to know you and you may figure out a way to help chairwin and others like him.
