Wow , sorry to here that they lost their family business...we need those black owned operations to help strengthen the black community, that said, In any business there are certain factors that will always be prevalent, Like if that entity is prosperous, has potential or is experiencing difficulties there will ALWAYS be wolves in the midst monitoring and ready to pounce and is why you should take measures to assure it's safety and growth like having sleeper investors in place to help if it becomes unstable. Investors who don't have to give anything at the moment but if the situations becomes dire you can tap into that resource. a safety net of sorts.
As for School, no, don't give in and always remember ..
"Failure is the Greatest lesson for future successes"
That having been said we must also be able to recognize our limitations  and adapt accordingly.
What I mean is, Courses like what your are taking and coding and software development are ones that consists of processing a lot of data and as we become older that can become a bit stressing on the old Naggin(Brain) and why we need to adapt and implement a gameplan  to combat that shortcoming and one thing that this digital age has afforded us is the opportunity to do just that..What I mean is, if I were to take a course Heavy on data and information being processed I know I would Need to, PRIOR TO TAKING THAT COURSE, I would need to Prepare and train my brain for this new undertaking, so I would start taking some similar free online courses, watching videos and tutorials on the subject matter as to acclimate and help my brain grow accustomed to the material as opposed to starting straight away trying to consume it for the first time it in a classroom environment...That can be an onslaught and shock to the brain cells- lol..and as you might know already a classroom environment is a STRUCTURED, scheduled, time sensitive environment, especially at the higher learning level..They don't nurture you as much,per se', as they mostly just present information and expect you at this point in your educational career,  to grasp it or they may provide Labs to assist you  which many don't take advantage of and should.. Blah blah blah..lol...I think you kinda know what I'm laying down..I'm just saying in most cases PREPARATION is more Important than the actual Implementation of a given subject or matter. DON'T EVER GIVE UP OR GIVE IN THO..It should and will get easier but you'll also need to assist it in doing so..Kinda just the way it is..
I'm currently In the midst of helping launch a Foundation that helps address and cope with Mental health disorders, Domestic abuse, Rape and self esteem issues and a few other things..she's covering the whole spectrum..My cousin is on the Board and asked if I would be interested in the appointment of in house Marketing and Tech Consultant, But for now I'm just setting things up for them, Building their website and consulting them on Brand Management..
..Ok, you know I have Loooong wind and a heavy typing hand lol..
Glad you made it back safely and look forward to following along on your journey of discovery and conquering and helping out when, how and where I can..

PEACE...ONE !             







======================================

Good Morning,
Wow Inquiring Minds Huh lol..
Fair enough, well with all fairness due,
I personally wouldn't Judge a mans word
on one conversation had in a Bar during a night of drinking,
I'd like to think I have a little better grasp on reality than that
but for those with whom it matters they know my word
and Loyalty are both SOLID. AS fOR Craige I tried to help him as much ass I could Via Messaging and Consultation for which I usually charge a Hefty Fee but I'm not about to give Premium Service for free to someone I just met and especially when they make it Clear that if I don't have the Time they'll Just have to pay that white man.
That's why were so F'ed up, we're always expecting handouts from our own instead supporting them, but will willingly give wealthy ass walmart and bestbuy for sub-par service. Pitiful..
But That's Business Nothing Personal and He seems Like a Cool Guy outside of that, so what may have seemed unfair to him was in accordance with my business practices.
Now I'm done with that.
As For the Business, it just wasn't Financially feasible to pay for a spot to do something I can do Mobile-ly at my own expense, Plus The Guy really didn't want me there so he Kept adding expenses.As for Shop in Chalmette and Maryam she also has a documentary premiere I think this week, it was sponsored by the CEO Of Twitter, She does a lot
of Re-entry stuff. Just Google Her, Her Name is Maryam Uloho She was married to the Prime minister of Nigeria lol..But yeah she was with My Brother when it all went down, they were doing well..it was just in his Blood..soo Look I don't Usually go out My way to Explain or Prove myself to ANYONE...
ANNYONE!!
But as you seem Like a Solid Chica, I made the exception... this one time...
 My Nieces Husband Graduated from Howard U and she worked as an RN at HU Hospital..
You must be very Proud of your Daughter as you should be..
You have a Safe Trip Ms ChaRita ..
I think we can consider this matter closed and I wish you the best with your Journey and always remember it not always about what's tobe found on the Other side of the Mountain..Sometimes it's just about
THE CLIMB! ..PEACE
