" F o r me, the fa m ily is the very
structure o f o ur society. F am ily
gives me the energy to strive and
live. It gives purpose to life . For
people of co lor, fam ily has always
included the nucleus as well as ex
tended m em bers, and this is
something that we should continue,
be proud o f, and do everyth in g
within our power to enhance.
"E d u c a tio n , to me, is a process
that begins at b irth and continues
u n til d e a th . H o w e v e r, fo rm a l
ed u catio n is a v ita l p a rt o f the
process th at we need. It is the
gatew ay
to
c o m fo rt,
self-
satisfaction, and enlightment.
"S e lf-c o n tro l is a necessity if we
are to succeed in our lives, both
p ro fess io n ally and p e rs o n n ally .
Substance abuse (alcohol and drug)
causes one to lose c o n tro l, self-
w orth, and dignity, and eventually
leads to spiritual death.
" I am a C a th o lic by fa ith and
believe there is a God. He is greater
than mankind and gives me the right
to exist and the right to set my own
destin y. W ith o u t him my success
could not have been and could not
continue to be.
“ Finally, it is important that your
success co n trib u tes to the o verall
success o f the c o m m u n ity . As a
co m m u n ity o f c o lo r, we need to
b uild in a trust system. A system
whereby we can help each other and
grow independent fro m the give-
outs and hand-outs that contribute
to our overall oppression.”
