BriaMy Future…
Turning 40 has been a blessing in my life. My mind has opened towards things, I formerly opposed. For ex., schooling. While I’m exhausted from going to school (University of Phoenix, Bachelor’s Admin)…I know I can’t quit now. I was going to immediately go into their Master’s program…I mean it seemed like the logical thing to do. However, it was put upon me sooooo tough to go to LAW SCHOOL. Myself…I was opposed to it, in that I felt I was too old to go to law school. Also, I did not think I could carry that school load. If I was younger…I would go into entertainment law and swim with the rest of the sharks. Now that I’ve tasted the corporate life, and seen 1st hand how ‘politics’ can hurt the low man on the totem pole, my focus has shifted towards leveling the playing field. It is my desire to work on behalf of the EEOC or an equivalent. At my place of employment people are scared to fight due to retribution. It’s called the Whistleblower Protection Act, people!! Accdg to my calculations, I have about another year b4 my bachelor’s degree is completed, and then I’ll go directly to law school. I’m thinking about applying to Detroit’s illustrious Wayne State University Law School.
While it is a daunting task, I am up for the challenge. I ask for your thoughts, prayers, and encouragement. I’ve had enough of trying to climb a corporate ladder that only rewards a selected few for their individualism. While there is a higher accountability being an attorney, I’ve chosen to not go into a law specialty that will cause me to lose a) sleep, or b) my dignity/integrity. I’m not trying to be a hero…but God has given me the gifts of logic, debate, and fighting for the underdog…and it took 39yrs to know those are ingredients that are conducive to my becoming a lawyer. I don’t want to change the world, I just want the average Joe to know that he/she can fight back.

Now, see, that’s better! Now, we can commence to the great debates.
I do not envy your decision to further the education by way of law school. That’s quite an ambitious endeavor. I wish you luck. I took over a school once, in which there was much ado about the Whistleblower’s Act. The term was thrown around quite a bit as some teachers were about to “squeal”. Anyway, I’m familiar with that phrase and law. Along that vein would be the EEOC, a noble cause which could possibly allow you to forgo the law school route. Don’t get me wrong, attaining that law degree can really take you far. At 40, you’ll have beaucoup time to unwind after it has all been said and done. Whatever you decide, you know we got your back. Thanks for “letting me inside the gates of truth”. Peace.
Freedom–thank u for gracing me with ur presence. I am aware that I have and arduous and daunting task b4 me…but that’s been my life’s journey. a lonnnnnng and hard row to hoe!
I have considered working in the area of EEOC…but I’m told there’s so much bureaurcratic crap-esp. during election time.
Thank u for ur words of encouragement, and great wisdom. I look forward to a wonderful online relationship with u in the future!!
