Being the first!
I had a conversation with an associate the other day. She is the first in her family to graduate from high school and college. She is a highly driven person. She has a great job and beautiful home. She feels that she is " made" and she feels she is to good for her "low income family" and " average friends" . I dont think she realizes that being the first comes with a lot of responsibility!
"Being the first to do this or that means you have the responsibility to work in the interest of a second, a seventh, a nine hundredth to follow where you pioneered." - Dr. Johnetta Cole
My associate has a plethora of nieces, nephews and cousins who could be that second, seventh and nine hundredth!
When looking forward, one should never forget to look back!

Sounds like she needs to read the book of Ecclesiastes Sis... I do not know here or her mindset or her story or what point she is coming from that may have its valid points.
Just my 2cents worth, good blog and hope to see more.
