Today I had the rare opportunity to have a bird’s eye view of myself through two young women.  Both young women shared the same birthday.  The first was a young woman that at age 21 was the mother of three the oldest being 6.  The second young woman also 21 was entering into her second month of graduate studies.  I was struck by the contrast of these two young women that shared the same date of birth and in my mind I traveled their 21 year journey.   I saw myself in the young mother although motherhood didn’t start as young for me as it did this young lady I loved being a young mother.  I took many detours and used government assistance to help take care of my baby's needs as a 22 year old mother.  I worked and went to school for my real estate license.  I always had many dreams and although pregnancy was unexpected my dreams just changed to include both of us.  As time went on my family grew and it included my children’s father who became my husband 19 years and counting.  My children gave me focus and increased desire.  I wonder if it would be the same for this young mother who at 21 had a huge responsibility to provide and direct these 3 children at her young age.  Then my mind shifted to the 21 year old graduate student.  I have known her all her life.  She did not come from money or privilege.  I knew her to have a deep desire and to face obstacles with and all out assault.  There was no way she would let any circumstance beat her.  I thought about my struggles and how many times I felt like I wasn’t going to make it or get to where I wanted to be.  I thought about the times where the bills were larger than my income and I could see my friends progressing in their education and professions.

 

I could see my past and my future in these two young ladies.  These young women represented my life and both paths  I pursued.  I judge neither young woman because who am I to judge.  I will not tell one over the other you’re better or not better.  I would encourage both keep reaching and striving for your goals and although you made different choices and one path may take longer or have different challenges you can still overcome and make it.  I hope young women never settle for where they are.  If you have a High School Diploma go for college credits, if you have some college behind you do what it takes to get that Associates Degree or Bachelors, if that’s not in reach get a certificate.  My heart is and will always have a soft spot for mothers that against all odds never give up, don’t quit, won’t quit and never say die… Young women even if in life you have not made the best choices- keep it moving- His mercies are new everyday.  I encourage you to find out who you are supposed to be and reject anything and everything that causes you to doubt yourself.  You Have Power…

She and her sisters would put on talent shows in the living room for their mother. When the shows were over and her sisters went to play... she would continue singing and learning new songs for the next show. It was then she realized that this was something she would always want to do. After raising a family Neicee is pursuing her lifelong dream to become an artist singing R&B, gospel & soul music. Recently Neicee opened up for Howard Hewitt and Alicia Myers.
