The Glass Ceiling

Definition:
An invisible upper limit in corporations and other organizations, above which it is difficult or impossible for women and/or minorities to rise in the ranks.
It is glass because it's not usually a visible barrier, and a woman may not be aware of its existence until she "hits" the barrier. In other words, it's not an explicit practice. The term was popularized in the 1980s.
I have never worked so hard in my life than I am currently right now. I'm working like a Hebrew slave now, so that I can enjoy the fruits of this labor later. Of course I go to school full time, which is hard in and of itself since I am a senior, and Im pre-law, so I have to focus on passing these classes and study for the LSAT. Oh and by the way, the LSAT is THE hardest grad school admissions test there is. Harder than any entrance exam to get into any medical school or any other grad school for that matter. Yeah, Im def aiming to crack that glass ceiling.
Sometimes I feel like I have all these invisible barriers working against me. As soon as I crack one ceiling, there is another one there. Being an African-American woman graduting from a HBCU, even if it is one of the TOP schools in the country, people will still question if I am qualified for a position even though I am able to look at the decription of the job and see that I may be OVER qualified! But I am working hard, getting things done!
On top of staying focused on my classes, and preparing for the LSAT, I also work about 30 hours a week! Yes I am grinding! I am working so many hours, to save money now, for plans that I have post gradution, dont worry, I will enlighten you guys with those plans later on down the line ;). So you can only IMAGINE how tired I am and be some days! I be exhausted! But I know it will all pay off in the end. Besides, I am no stranger to hard work, so I welcome it and the challanges that come with the territory. These are all problems that driven, African American women encounter when trying to crack and shatter that glass ceiling. So although at time I feel like I may be alone, I know really Im not. I have God by my side and support from Jonathan and friends and family and I know that they are hundreds, maybe thousands of women who are not only leaving a trail for me to follow, but who are also walking along side me and I cant wait to meet them!
First stop, Howard Univeristy graduation, second stop law school graduation, after that, the possibilite are endless, and the sky will be the limit because I cant let a silly glass ceiling stop me! I have to break ALL barriers!
I can see the end at the beginning, so Im not racing, Im just spriting.
