I stand grateful for all blessings bestowed upon me by my Lord and creator. I wake up each day, I walk, and continue the life journey. I am still in need of a resolve that can perhaps heal all deepened wounds, over the years, through acknowledgment and justice. Present restraints forbid any type of advancement financially, and do not allow a flow of normalcy to emerge. Family relationships are strained, and remain irreparable. Since time heals all wounds, it remains to be seen if in fact, there could ever be trust again.

Thank you for the paths which you have allowed to cross. The humbling experience, by itself, is rewarding. To somehow seek financial gain in return is inconceivable. The gift of an education, wisdom, truth, and clarity can be priceless, if taken gracefully at its most needed peak. The time has come for me to elevate my mind to a greater level, and as such, in gratitude, I praise your name daily with the hope of expressing only the truth. Truth may sound arrogant, at times; but arrogance prevails over pretense and deceit. Please guard my name, Lord, as your possession. I do not express myself with profanity, or vulgarity. Please bless and protect my alma mater, as a true institution of Learning. Praise be to God.
