I need your help with my homework. I need details on three strategies that can be implemented in a college environment that would motivate African American males to achieve.

I could tell you what motivated me to achieve, but I'm not sure if it applies to everyone else. Student Organizations, Academic Support Center, and the motivation and support of my peers.

Can u tell me in detail how those things motivated you?

Student organizations allowed me to be involved with other individuals that came from a less fortunate background as I did. Together we became one another’s back bone (support system). When either of us faced a problem rather it was academic, financial, or a crisis, we were there to support and comfort one another. That there was motivation for me to achieve my goals. The Academic support center offered tutoring, financial support, and employment help. The academic support center was motivation its self because there were people looking in from the outside that was willing to help students in need. Knowing that I was surrounded by folks that was willing to help me be a change in society and strive for success was my motivation to pursue my goals. I had no worries. Those resources motivated me to never give up and to always ask for help when you are in need of a helping hand. I took advantage of the resources that surrounded me.


I really appreciate this jay, because I’m taking a general studies class for minority males and I thought it was best to get a view from a person that I know that has accomplished his goals or some of them. So thankssssssssssssssssssss!!!

Many of us have applied to many job positions using our High School Diploma and GED. We have found out that the job market was very difficult to get in with just a High School Diploma and GED. Many employers have skipped over our resumes and letters of interest after seeing that our highest level of education is High School and having no job related experiences. So we ask our parents, teachers, employers and various other individuals, what we have to do in order to secure the interested positions in the future? They tell us to further our education, “Go to college and get a degree”. We then say, “we can’t afford college, we don’t have any money”. Then they say, “Financial Aid, you can take out loans to cover your cost and you can pay them back after you graduate college.”   Now we believe a college degree is the way to securing a job position and a way to get out of poverty. “If I graduate from college, I can get the job I want and live comfortably… “If I gradua...

CAMILIA TERRY

          After doing my research on Camilia Terry, I came up with an opinion of my own. First thing, for those of you who say you would have beaten her behind and what not, you would have been in jail as well. I understand you all have hurt inside, but murder is the same sin as beating her up, lying and stealing. Negativity gets you nowhere in life. Do your research before judging someone. I’m sure many of you with these negative feedback's are young minded, uneducated, and have no connection with Jesus Christ.           Yes, it’s wrong to take someone else’s life, but picture yourself growing up in a foster home and the reason you were there in the first place is because your parents were dysfunctional and you were physically, mentally, sexually and emotional abused. Picture yourself as a single14year old mother in foster care. You think you found love and you didn’t because you don...
