As I have mentioned before that my life has always been questioned by the economic
condition of my family. my parents had worked day and night to support four of us. As I am
the eldest of them, I have to take responsibility to arrange my expenses by working in a
restaurant. in this personal growth I have faced many barriers that has affected my education
also.
In order to grow in life, I did not only face the economic or financial problems but also for
my racial background. I have felt that in American society in spite of working fast to bring
equality from the time of Abraham Lincoln, a racist mentality keeps on flowing like
undercurrent. I have been bullied in my high school for having a black background and could
not get chance in the basketball team in school. I have been kept aside in every annual
function arranged in school or given the servant stroll because of my background. these are
challenges which had been affecting my mind from the very childhood and believe me what a
bullet student can do in in class I did the same. the society in disguise of oppressors in the
school had grabbed me scornfully.
Racism which is one of the most hated things on earth had been practiced against me
for long (Cooley, Brown-Iannuzzi & Cottrell, 2019). I was struggling very hard because I had
no body to support me or hold my hand to bring me up in the light. My mother is a religious
lady and she only wanted me to have patience because she believed that only God can save
me from this situation. She was scared of losing me and prayed when my father used to come
home drunk and beat us. In most of the Afro-American ghettos one can find this picture of
domestic violence. The women here work like animals and feed their children only to get
beaten by their drunk husband often having criminal record.
All of these situations where against me and I was almost curbing under the
impression of darkness in my life. I have chosen the psychological impact of racism because I
have felt these in every second of my life until I started my I study in college.
