I think its safe to say that the life of a student is filled with back-to-back assignment, classes, group assignments meeting and deciding what we will eating for dinner for the rest of our lives. Today definitely has to be the busiest I have been in a while. I had a group discussion meeting for our Psychology class at the library. Five black girls who booked a seminar room for an hour, it was clear that we were on a mission. As soon as I walked in I entered a world that existed within these four walls.

Sitting alone was Gomo, the energy in the room felt really intense, cold and formal. An uncontrollable discomfort settled in the pit of my stomach. The previous night there was a conflict that broke out, so I am guessing that was the reason her face seemed so unwelcoming, neutral, unresponsive to light energy like the really annoyed shoprite cashier packing your groceries in the plastic bag. Gomo definitely chose violence today. The rest of the ladies soon joined and the tension became worser and worser. The students that passed by were unaware of the craziness that was about to unfold in here. They seemed happy and calm, stress-free unaware of the war that was about to break out right near them.

I am a forth year student, this is the second time I am taking this module so I know this emotional roller-coaster all to well. Immediately my motherly instincts came in, I smile and great them all ensuring that when it came to communicating with me their guards were down. The energy did lighten up a bit, evidently showing my plan was working. Have you ever had a conversation with a toddler about why they cant touch the hot stove, or why they should blow their nose when sick, that's how i felt in that moment, like a mother making sure her 3rd years don't kill each other because of a misunderstanding about who should've searched what Marijuana is and who should've not.

We spoke and uncovered the problem we were facing. I came up with a solution that brought clarity and understanding on what we should do in next. With this new found peace that was resorted back into those four walls we went back into our own worlds, worries and plans.
