So I start the Executive MBA program thinking "I can handle this...I have a law degree...I am smart, right?????" Then I get there and everyone assumes I must be a genius since I am a lawyer (us lawyers know that is not true), then they assume I can write really well (I can write, but prefer to talk)... It was all just a mess. Then I get a hater in my assignment group to top it all off. He literally made fun of one of my statements on an early assignment to only later find out I was exactly right. It was tough, people. TOUGH!
Then I began heaping the pressure on myself. I really want to represent my profession well. PRESSURE. I want to represent my race and gender and fight off the "angry black woman" stereotype. PRESSURE.
Then I realized there is nothing I can do but to walk down the path that God has prepared for me. Pastor Jenkins said that all you have to do is take the first step and God will do the rest.
All I have to say is AMEN!
