A List of A Few Things Mr Metro

Please read the list if you are an inconsiderate METRO rider...

~My foot is not the rest for your luggage...
~Takoma METRO Station elevator is not a toilet, please behave accordingly...
~If the train car appears to be crowded, please do not assume there is room for one more person - you...
~If you are tall, please hold the rails on the ceiling of the train not the side rails, where shorter people can reach and hold on not fall like the old lady did because your ignorant, inconciderate and inept behind wanted to stand in the middle of the car...
~If you ride during rush hour and you have loads of children, please hold thier hands so they do not get lost in the crowd of people then proceed to scream at the top of their lungs because they are scared and lost, its not cute Mama...
~If you have a body odor, please do not attempt to cover it up with an entire bottle Nautica Cologne and make everyone's eyes water in the train because you stink!...

Your PROMPT attention is appreciated!

This weekend I spent three days with some phenomenal women which helped to put things into perspective. I am a member of Gamma Gamma Chi Sorority Inc, which is a group of women that strive for the pleasure of Allah(swt) through sisterhood, scholarship, leadership and community service...Which means to me- do everything in life with that purpose. I socialize with them, work in the community with them and collaborate with them during my usual day to day life. This sorority has been one of the best things that I could been blessed with. I have found some women in which I can grow and develop with.

So, during this weekend I reconnected with friends that I have not seen in years and some friends that I only see during this conference. I truly enjoyed myself as I do always. We sat, laughed, shopped and enjoyed the time together. I was reminded by "Ummie" that we as young people do not rely on our elders in the community for anything...Not for advice, not for help, not for anything. So I ask, are you using your community connections, I know I am not using all of mine...BUT I WILL! Will I be calling you?!?!
