A QUEST TO ATTEND A HISTORICALLY BLACK COLLEGE / UNIVERSITY (S.E.A. MENTORING PROGRAM)

You Can Do It!

by: Naomi Hulme

YOU can do it! You CAN DO it! You can do IT!

We make our (dreams 1.) come true or not. It is all up to each of us to make those things happen that we wish for and want. Whatever your "it" is, whether a dream or passion or goal, you really "can do" it if you want it bad enough and work at it hard enough. Ignore the "can't(s)" (can not) that you hear in your own mind and from others.

We have so many choices each day. Think back a year ago of (missed opportunities 2.) that either you weren't financially or professionally or emotionally ready for. What if you had planned ahead and were ready for any and all opportunities that came your way. Imagine how and what you would be doing. Now think back five years ago and come forward. There were probably some opportunities that you were able to jump on and make use of in that time.

(What other opportunities do you see that either you or your family missed? 3.)

p.s. Family is an important link in our everyday decisions.

No matter where you are today, you can choose today going forward to have a great, optimistic, positive attitude about every area of your life. You CAN accomplish anything you set out to do. Sometimes we have to get creative to get through the (stumbling blocks 4.).

Start planning now to watch for any positive opportunities that God puts in your path.

According to David McNally, in his book, “Even Eagles Need a Push“, he stated,

"Those who learn to soar have the courage to take a positive attitude toward life. They understand that life offers many surprises but believe that within those surprises are lessons - and that from the lessons comes because it is a decision not to be defeated no matter what challenges life presents."

(wisdom 5.) . (A positive attitude requires courage 6.)

"Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any one thing." Abraham Lincoln

"A happy person is not a person in a certain set of circumstances, but rather a person with a certain set of attitudes." Hugh Downs

Jeffrey Gitomer's, “Little Gold Book of Yes!” Attitude says, "A large part of attitude achievement is the visualization. It's easier to visualize YES! than it is to visualize positive. When something great happens, no one screams, "Positive!" Everyone screams, "YES!" That's the difference. That's the YES! factor."

Each day, do one thing that helps you get where you want to be. Mix that one thing in your schedule no matter how busy you are. At the end of one year, you will have stretched and grown personally and professionally in so many ways. You will then start to add new directions to your original dream. Just imagine how much more purpose you will have in your life. Go for it!

Course directions for achieving your goals:

(Questions from S.E.A Mentoring Program)

1.dreams. Write down your goals or dreams. Now you can visualize these goals or dreams.

2.missed opportunities. Think back to your freshmen year and write down all your missed opportunities.

3. What other opportunities do you see that either you or your family missed? Write down the miss opportunities, your choices are important and so is family involvement in your choice of college or university.

4. stumbling blocks. Write down any stumbling blocks or obstacles that you may have.

5. wisdom. What is wisdom? How do you obtain wisdom?

6. A positive attitude requires courage. Can you explain this statement? How will you use this statement in your four year college education quest?

7. Personally and professionally, growth is what you expect to achieve in your education quest at a H.B.C.U.
