I would like you to know that I won FIRST PLACE in the Black History Essay Contest, with the essay I placed on the blogging site titled “Black Leadership”. I received 100% and the congratulatory words of, “Very good–good structure,” and a “Good intro,” compliment as well. I’m […]
Topics to choose from (verbatim): _______________________________________________________________________ 1. What effect would a Black woman President have on America? 2. How do you view Black leaders of the past versus Black leaders of today? 3. What can we do to steer our youth to a path of greatness and purpose? […]
I want to apologize for the delay in my installments. I caught another cold immediately after I rid myself of the last, and this one put me out of commission for 2 weeks. Ohio doesn’t serve any oranges, or orange juice in their chow halls, except for their […]
In summing up most of the Professors I’ve encountered, or had the Honor and Pleasure of learning from Their expertise, I saved The Best, MY BEST, for last; PROFESSOR ANNE RICE, not to be confused with Ann Rice the Vampire Writer! She resembles Meridith, the very first host […]
The Professors who teach for Hudson Link/Mercy College, at Sing Sing Correctional Facility, are HUMANITARIANLY BEAUTIFUL people. I never had the pleasure of being taught by Mrs. Skouzen, the English Professor, or Mr. Skouzen, the Economic’s Professor (I hope I’m not butchering the spelling of their name); Mrs. […]
I didn’t know EVERY LAW, that was birthed into existence, were Laws that were put into place to hamper and enable the Black Race, particularly the Black Man. Those two Columbia courses, coalesced with the History 105 class, brought that paper to fruition, so of course it ORIGINATED […]
My SOCL 262 Alcohol, Drugs, & Behavior Professor, Mr Montero, excuse my Dominican, is his favorite saying because he has a strong Dominican accent/dialect, and when he tries to explain certain things his “Dominican” gets in the way 🙂 (ha,ha,ha). He’s cool. I was 1 point shy of […]
The first paper I wrote, for Mr. Sax, was about my spiritual journey from childhood to present. When he was returning our papers, he saved mines for last. I panicked because I thought he’d lost, or forgotten mines, but then he asked, “Who’s Tobias?” He was walking past […]
I would like to take this time to thank all the Teachers and Professors who’ve helped and encouraged me along my way: My Pre-College English Professor, Professional Editor, Starting Point Guard, for her college’s basketball team, and one third of the membership, of the Old Lady’s Gang, that […]
What I realized about Ohio’s prison system is that it sets you up for failure; there is no rehabilitation involved, for people who have more than 5yrs. to the Parole Board. The “POWERS THAT BE”, or the so-called “MAN” wants you involved in all types of mischief, altercations, […]
New York State “USE” to be strictly about punishment, when your’s truly, Governor Pataki, was in office, but all of that has changed. New York is all about “REHABILITATION” now. In New York’s prison system, if one wants to change their life, for the better, they have a […]
People tend to think that prison is prison no matter where you go, and I’m here to tell you that is EMPHATICALLY not true! I’m trying to make the transition from New York’s Prison System to Ohio’s Prison Institutions, and I’m here to tell you that it’s hard. […]
