Hey Li’l Brother,
I just want you to know you’re a smart person and got a lot of skills for someone so young. I just want you to listen to what I got to say because I never had someone to give me these kinds of talks when I was younger. You need to think about what you want to do with yourself when you’re done with school. I know that there are programs that could help you get started while you’re still in school, too. And don’t be scared to ask your teachers if you need help; you might think you don’t need it in life, but you don’t want to be like me where I wish I tried harder in school. Now I realize how dumb it was to cut class because I don’t have an understanding of a lot of things that would help me in life.
I just want you to know you’re smart and don’t listen to the people who put you down because you could fight, and don’t fight because you’re good at it, because you don’t want people to see you as a mean person because it will reflect on you for when you try to get work for a good place. Look at all the people around here, they could be good leaders, but a lot of them got the wrong ambitions. It’s not their fault, it’s just how the people before them been doing things so they think it’s ok. But I know you could be better than that and make a change. So don’t be afraid to make a change and be different, because if you look around, different could be for the best ... I don’t want you to think of me as a hypocrite. Because I know I have my ups and downs with myself. I just want you to know there is a lot out there for you especially if you figure out what you want to do with yourself now instead of trying to pick up all the pieces when you’re older. But don’t get me wrong, because I never gave up, it’s just that I know you’re a smart kid and I want to see you do good for yourself as a man ... So think about what I am telling you and don’t be afraid to ask for help because communication is important in life ... | OG
