Before coming to the event my initial thought was, the author just expanding on his thought behind the book, but once I was there and listening. I found that it was much more than just a story of two people, it is a story of how your decisions in life help mold your future.
College is not just about your degree but about the things you intend to do with it after college, about the live you plan on changing. No matter your position in life, or your social class, you can become much more than people expect of you. He went on to say, “You are not a product of your environment, but you are a product of your expectations”. This quote stuck out to me because being an African American female, we are stereotyped in many ways that I don’t think fit
