Letter to Negativity
Dear Person,
First of all, I would like to thank you for actually taking out the time to pick me out of the many people in the world to be the person that proves that despite what you say, I am going to be somebody important and essential in the world. Because of you, I can say that God has a purpose for even those who look like there is no hope. At first, I started to believe what you used to tell me and it showed at first in what I did, but then I realize it says in Philippians 4:13 that “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me”. So whatever plan you tried to come up with to make me give up and not believe in myself, it did not work. I am not down and out; I am still standing with my head held high and almost ready to face anything that may come my way. So I would like to thank you for all the negative words that you used to try and discourage me because it gave me the motivation to go ahead and handle my business. So I have written this letter to let you know you fail at your attempt to stop me from succeeding. So once again thank you and I hope you cautious with everything that you do.
Always and forever,
Eugene Robinson

Qualities of Change/Qualities of Change
· Giving back to people -I can’t help but to help someone if they need assistance in something I may be able to help them with whether it be carrying something or helping a certain school subject.
· My tolerance for certain matters-I am known for taking a lot of stuff that others thought I should have snapped on, but I kept my cool and dealt with the situation a different way. Some people say· Fear of Rejection-This fear has held me back for years and I probably would have had more friends if I had spoken up a lot more than I did.
· Focus –I believe I have a very hard time focusing in class. My attention span is very short and I tend to daydream and doze off in class. I spend more time trying to become popular than actually focusing on my work. If I spend as much time on my schoolwork as I did trying to become cool, I would have be an A-B student and I would be going to South Carolina State University or Howard University. No offense to Concordia!!!!
· Maturity level-I know there are times to act silly or clown around, but I believe do it at the wrong times, for the wrong reasons. I am too soft and easy because I contain this quality.

Dear Supporter,
Someone once told me that you have people in your life for a lifetime or a season. There are many seasonal friends, but there are a handful of lifetime friends. I just would like to thank you for all the love and support that you have shown towards me. I truly believe that your presence in my life was essential to be my hope to going to college because God lets people become part of our lives for a purpose. So I appreciate you because you are truly serving your purpose in my life. I know I haven’t been the best person to support, but I am grateful for your patience and your faith in me. I also appreciate the fact that you thought about me enough to want to support me because you didn’t have to do it, but the fact that you did it anyway show you care. Also I would also like to thank God for his mercy and grace on my life and for sending you in my life to support me. I love you from the bottom of my heart. I pray blessings in everything that you do. Again I love you, God loves you and thank you, thank you, thank you.
All Love and Appreciation,
Eugene Robinson
