I’m Happy

Hi Mark,
I just wanted to say I am happy about finally getting started with the meetings. Honestly,I feel a little disappointed because I have not finished reading all three manuscripts. I just began reading my second manuscript and I feel unprepared to ask any questions I have been so busy trying to absorb and apply all this information. It has truly been a challenge. My question for is how can I get my supervisor to acknowledge my creativity at the work place to get the promotion I need? I am finding out that not all supervisor are willing to help people like me grow to the next level for fear of loosing their own job. But I am not allowing this to stop me. It just will take more time that I thought. I think I have been under the illusion that getting out of this rut will happen over night. In reality it is not going to me easy for me as a African American female I had to work hard all my life trying to lift myself up out of poverty.
