I'm going home next week. Home as in Oakland, CA. However, I'm not 100% on an exact address. I'm trying to turn over a new leaf. I don't want to be some poor kid who was a victim of the system and fell through cracks. I don't want to blame anyone for how my life was or is. I want to be regular LoL. I know that sounds dumb but it's the truth. I just want to be like everyone else sometimes. Well, all the time. I listen to my friends here at PSC (PANTHERZ!) and they're not stressing over who they'll be staying with for X-Mas break. I wish I could say the same for me.
I say this fully realizing the blessings I've received, most in part because of the way I was raised. Scholarships, publications, ect. I thank God daily for all that I have. Especially because I know so many who were raised like me OR WORSE who have not only fallen through the cracks but don't know how to get back up. I'm grateful for all that I have but I can't help it but to want the same thing that I've prayed for since I was a little girl: ........
ON A BRIGHTER NOTE: The end is near! Finals are this week! I'm very confident about my grades. Maybe even cocky. After I'm done typing this, I'm going to begin studying for my Afr Am History and World Masterpieces course. I'm going to shoot for a B average. Next semester, ALL A's (and I aint talking about the Athletics. GO OAKLAND!)

Hi Sade - good luck with your finals! I'd love to treat you to a celebratory lunch or dinner once you're back in Oakland...my contact info is on my web site at www.daviskho.com if you want to take me up on it. Remember to get some sleep and don't get too stressed this week, it will all be over soon!
