EYES WIDE OPEN - STAY WOKE!!!

Times have changed since when I was growing up. We played outside until our parents called us in or the street light came on whichever was first. We played in the playground with little attendance and walked freely within our neighborhood without worry. I went to public school and learned the subjects taught to us. Then I became a teacher that taught all the things that were taught to me not realizing we were taught a lot of propaganda. Today, they don't want to teach any kind of history especially NOT the WHOLE TRUTHS! 

It's bad enough we had to memorize that in 1492 Christopher Columbus discovered America when he NEVER even set foot on this continent. Then of course, how is it that this country could be claimed as discovered when people were already living here. Instead colonizers tried to rule over the Natives here and just declared war against the very people that helped them fight the British during the Revolutionary War. 

How is it that millions of Africans were brought to this continent in slave ships shackled and packed in the cargo holds of these ships defacating all over themselves and each other and died, but today they're trying to say that African back then came here voluntarily and were never in the belly of their slave ships or sold on auction blocks. 

How is it that they believe they can just change history by no longer teaching any of its truths, but creating their own narratives to fit their political agendas. Since when is it not logical to stay awake in class while the teacher is trying teach us history and of days passed. What logical sense does it make to go blindly into the future with no understanding how we came to be at the point we are today. How can we learn lessons and not continue to repeat the same mistakes of our ancestors. 

Keep your eyes wide open to the TRUTH! STAY WOKE!!! 
 

School Again?

You couldn't have made me believe that I would ever being doing this again. But I guess it is TRUE, never say NEVER! LOL!
Here I am about to embark upon yet another chapter in my life. I thought I was done with this detail, but school books, homework and test, "Here I Come!" 

Make no mistake about it, at my age it is a little more than exciting. It without a doubt is a little scary. Just asking oneself, if you're up to the challenge. Yes, challenge on many different levels. If you survive it, is it hopeful and excitingly promising? Yes! So what the heck does one have to lose? Well I would say, my mind, but LOL, that is one of  the challenges along with the body, but Lord willing, I am willing to make the best effort to the finish line. 

  I am going to another college to work towards getting a Microsoft Certification.

 That should be impressive on my resume and business cards. I do so much look forward to it. I have managed to survive all these years, exploring and navigating through the various software programs on my own. I taught myself, but technology is moving faster than a speeding bullet and that is virtually impossible to keep up. 
I do believe that this new journey will be an adventure, one that I will be able to laugh about and hopefully smile with great satisfaction and pride that I dared to surprise myself. 

So I say, "Yes, school again!"
