3 obstacles

Posted on January 18, 2008. Filed under: Uncategorized |

It was 9th grade AP English and when the teacher was critiquing my poem, which he didn’t relate to, he said the following:

”You will always struggle against 3 obstacles. You are black, you are intelligent, and you are female.”

He didn’t intend it to stop me, he meant it to empower me. You must first acknowledge the hurdles before you can clear them.
