No problem! Just hang in there and keep your mind on the ultimate goal…your education!

We all have moments like those. I’m 27, and it still happens to me. Over the years I’ve learned to be confident in who I am. When I walk into a room full of people other than my race, they may stare or make remarks but I ignore them. I’ve learned not to care what others think of me. They’re just haters! Be confident! You’re a fabulous, intelligent, beautiful young lady, and that’s all that matters!

My situation isn’t as drastic as brittany’s, but i am the only black girl in all 4 of my classes this semester. There are a few black boys but the most black people in any of my classes is five. I really don’t like this, and i wish there was a way it could be changed. There is an uncomfortable feeling walking into class and just seeing so many white people and no one else like you. My mom says that it happens a lot in especially, and it will happen more when i get older. What’s a way to deal with this situation???
