Today we talked to the first african american students to graduate from high school, having completed all three years. That person is Dr. Sybil Hampton. Today she made it very clear that there is no reason or excuse not to be successful. When she was in school she had very little at her disposal and had to adjust to life. As a student trying to integrate schools she had to be very clear about what she was trying to do and became everything they wanted to be and more. I have everything and every resource imaginable and I some how make excuses for my short comings. But I really have no right to. I just realized that I really need to do better, the only obstacle in my life is myself.
