Okay so i know I havent posted in a while, but once in a while you get that burst of energy, or perhaps a strong movement or significant event that occurs in your life that almost forces you to share! Not everything will fit in a facebook status and until I put myself through the torture of re-creating my long-lost twitter page...my blog is the perfect spot to
a.) brag about the awesomness that IS my life & also the low-points.
b.) Spill thoughts to keep me sane &
c.) Help remind my self why to stay driven and ambitious because I often lose track of that.
okay blahh besides that rambling intro (which by-the-by, is exactly how that all went in my head) Ill start sharing the actual inspiration for the click of these keys!
So a few months ago I had an epiphany! I know, I know corny right, but I literally woke up one morning and felt that my calling in life was being missed ( I know shut up right, im only 20) but seriously ...maybe im just not one of those people who is satisfied with being the typical partying teenager ( although IM SURE the majority of my peers perceive me that way).
After waking up that morning I decided i was tired of my potential not being reached.... So I decided I need to transfer schools an start over in a productive environment... an environment where young black people all around me were about something, were grinding, were making moves and not sitting on their butts..and even more over to BE one of those people, a place where i could win titles, hold positions... make a difference (cheesy I know) and Be somebody,.....I'm sounding like an army commercial but again im Oh-so serious...A place where I could start to be the ADULT i want to be....A place called Howard University. Pretty much the definition of black prestige...I felt like I had to prove a point, a big point...not only to others..but mostly to myself. (this was a few weeks ago)
Fast forward to today the Howard plan is still a go, parents supportive and all plus I miss my city.
Finding that being a part of something helps my self- esteem tremendously! So i will forever join groups. lol.
Which leads me to my inspiration for blogging for the first time in months.... today after a long day of class and work I made it a point to make it to an interest meeting that is getting started at my school for Young Entrepreneurs Parlay! I feel like it will be such a good opportunity for me seeing as how the group is small right now and i have the opportunity to apply for the Vice- President, Secretary, or Treasurer positions!
I dont know if im a born leader or if having a title just makes me feel good, but ive always been a big contributor to whatever im a part of!
Exciting things aside---I will have to discipline myself to surround myself with the right people and protect my reputation on the good ol' web. With good opportunity comes responsibility ...Ive always felt more mature than most my age buuuuuut I guess its time to grow up even further because its quite serious how much employers peep your page...

just thinking hmm..
