I Decided Once And For

My Mother Was The Influence In My Life. She Was Strong; She Had Great Faith In The Ultimate Triumph Of Justice And Hard Work. She Believed Passionately In Education.

Dream Small Dreams. If You Make Them Too Big, You Get Overwhelmed And You Don't Do Anything. If You Make Small Goals And Accomplish Them, It Gives You The Confidence To Go On To Higher Goals.

You Spend So Much Time In Your Profession It Ought To Be Something You Love.

I Would Tell Young People To Start Where They Are With What They Have And That The Secret Of A Big Success Is Starting With A Small Success And Dreaming Bigger And Bigger Dreams, I Would Tell Them Also That A Young Black Woman Or A Young Black Man Can't Dream Too Much Today Or Dare Too Much If He Or She Works Hard, Perseveres And Dedicates Themselves To Excellence.

When I See A Barrier, I Cry And I Curse, And Then I Get A Ladder And Climb Over It.
