( The ultimate objective in life for dis-advantaged people, is to rise above the circumstances, and to get over the hurdles, and prevail. )
As for my ethnicity, I say this very loud. I'm African American, and I am very proud. It doesn't matter what you are, just hold your head up high. If you believe in yourself, your dreams will really fly. Just don't over-work yourself, and relax a bit. Never ever get off track and then decide to quit. Stay away from selfish folks ~~~ they'll give you the blues. And turn away from all those folks with pessimisic views. Remember that the finish line, is just down the road. Always pack your gloves and boots ... 'cause this race is cold. Don't let the weather get you down ~~~ rain, hail, or fog. If you're behind, just bite down and be the underdog.
