Yesterday November 12th my sorority celebrated our founders day. I posted it all over FB, I spoke with my sorority sisters and met many that I hadn't known that I found while online. It was great.
It took me back to Jackson State University where I pledged and I thought about my weight and how I felt so different from everyone else. Yet, even then I failed terribly in hiding my weight issues but I did whatever I could to over compensate in every other area. I was president of my chapter Alpha Tau for three years. I was respected and know for my detail and order in which I handled our sorority business.
I would look at other young women and felt so sad that I couldn't be like them, and be pretty like them but I was pretty in other ways (my performance).
Make sure you notice your kids, friends, nieces, nephews etc while they are away in college or in high school and now even middle school. Notice there self esteem and how they handle what's going on around them.
As I look back on that time I loved my experience at Jackson State and I am so proud to be a Sigma Gamma Rho, and for the first time in my life I'm proud to be me.
Love who you are, where you are and if you see areas you don't like it's time to change your atmosphere and create the environment you want for yourself!!
Love you sorors....EEEYYYIIPPPPPPPPPP!!!!! "Greater Service Greater Progress"
