THERE ARE A FEW THINGS ON MY MIND...
Today, on the 20th of January, I got home from work early because I was being laid off for about a week. As I came in to get settled for the afternoon, I decided to use the opportunity to talk to Joe about his job search. Of course, it started off as me talking to him in a normal mono toned voice and, of course, he flared up as if I was coming down on him or putting him down.
There are times, in a young man's life where he is trying to figure out what he is going to do with his life and it doesn't help when someone in a position of authority to question his efforts or initiative on his ponderings...
Anyways, Joe flared up!
I continued to talk to him and tell him how much I admire his intellect and smarts. I reminded him that he is a bright young man that have yet to discover his full potential within himself...for himself. He continued to be rejective and solidifying his "wall of protection" against what I was saying to him. I felt myself getting frustrated but I kept my cool and stayed within my zone. After a few moments of exchanging words to get Joe to see where I am coming from but at the same time, understanding where he is coming from as well, I stopped talking to study my lesson for the evening bible study that is scheduled later that evening...When I was done with the studying, I really emphasized how much he has going for him..."there's a whole world out there" I said, "just waiting for you to take it on!"
I, personally. would love to be able to witness this young and strong black man take on the world by its throat and twist!
Then, I will know that he would be alright!
