Letters to a YOUNG BROTHER

Different things motivate different people. My motivation is the success of another person who stands in the position that I am heading in. President Barack Obama, Hill Harper, and Johnnie Cochran to name a few, have obtained Law Degrees from top law schools. As a Pre-Law student, I look up to these men and admire their success. These men are the epitome of African American Success. While reading many of these letters, I began to see how Harper strives to give young men the knowledge of the things that bring them true empowerment such as; education, a strong sense of purpose, compassion, and confidence.




Although I have not read all of the letters (and because I really did not start reading the first letter) I really enjoyed the letter “Quitting vs. Changing Your Mind”. This letter gave me confidence and inspiration to continue to pursue my Law Degree instead of working for the Federal Agency where I interned this summer. I’m not quitting the position before I get it, Im just changing my mind. Thanks Harper. (Also read In My Lifetime Vol 2)
