When I was 5...

When I was five I was bad as crap, and I use to play teacher with my younger sister and cousins. My entire immediate family works in the school system. I hear of their crazy stories they tell about some of the random things kids do at their schools. I imaged myself as a teacher at a young age ,but as time progressed I steered toward law. My interest in law started my late my 8th grade year. My teacher assigned a project asking us what we really want to do i life ,and I researched being a teacher first and realized I wouldn't really have the patience with kids. I cant stand raising my voice and repeating myself. Then, I went to research being a doctor ,and noticed the idea of blood sent chills down my body, so no to that. Finally, I stumbled onto law. I realized all of my arguments with my sister would actually pay off. So the idea of being a lawyer really stuck with me. My 11th grade year I became the first ever Government Club President in my schools history. We attended the Youth Judicial Conference that year. My senior year I became the SGA President and began my leadership and working hands on with people in various situations. My major is Political Science right now,and I'm taking it steps at a time to be the lawyer I strive to be.

Overwhelming..

My first weeks of college has ultimately been overwhelming. I am not use to the amount of homework and the never ending reading assignments. I know I want to succeed I definitely have to make some huge alterations in my schedule and I am up to the challenge. This experience will prepare for what is to come. I'm ready to keep my schedule and stop procrastinating. I tend to over think a lot so I am just going to settle down and ride this train until it comes to a halt.
  High School did not prepare me for this and I am grateful to really receive this experience. AUM is really a wonder school to persue an education in to the field in which I want to go into. Law require numerous amount of reading and being Twitter without the limited amount of characters. So overall I have change my entire lifestyle to accommodate my college studies because time is really valuable and pride is better. I wouldn't want to be put on the spot now having an idea to what the professor is talking about. Time for me to be doing something productive like my Literacy Narrative since my draft is due like Thursday and the Final is due the following Thursday.

What is Real?

Funny how the Lord works, when placing people in your life. Love is a word and or feeling, in some cases, that is very confusing. Your idea of love is based off the way you grew up. My mom never got alone with my father and I could accept that because his actions were always a disgrace to our family. She showed me that Divorce is not the answer to every marriage gone wrong. She is still with him because of us, not because she wants to be. I’ve accepted that. She taught me how to choose wisely, and taught me the signs of a bad relationship. Being picky with the guys or girls you associate with will make your choice to love more relaxing. There isn’t a “Perfect Mate” out there in the world. Trials and tribulations will live an eternity just as the grace of God because the devil is lurking in every corner like a serpent in the grass.


If being picky is how you were raised then there wouldn’t be any problems. The falling in love with the first girl/ guy that try to talk to you or say I Love You just is absurd. Being stubborn is not all bad because that way no one could pressure you to do anything you don’t want to. You are your own person. Get to know a person before you proceed to have sexual intercourse with them. This is away to prevent broken hearts and teenage pregnancy. Some females don’t have father figures in their lives that would guide them through Boys 101. They would just settle for the first guy just as their mother did. When a mother brings home a different guy every week to her kids her baby girls, especially, take note because that is all she know. The baby boys would want to have a lot of women when he gets older. So just love the only way you know how ,and remember when you have kids set a good example for them.

What Happened?

I have to wonder sometimes, what is love exactly. I have huge problem with guys always going after the emaciated girls with horrible attitudes, and big hair. I understand by me dealing with guys’ blindness that I am entitled to inherit a true keeper for a life time. I will truly find someone that I can grow old with. I will just have to wait because some of these guys I’ve come in contact with a worst than dogs they are like sharks. They prey on the innocent, but I’ve Learned my lesson now. When I let go, I really let it all go. The history is just what it is, history. I don’t fall for someone quick. I have to make sure we are on the same page first before any feelings are expressed. I just don’t believe the blindness some guys have, and they would rather have what is easy and quick, then what is sensitive and genuine, something they could have for a lifetime. I have to give props the real dudes out there in blogger land, who knows how to love their woman. To the dudes who have encountered the trifling female cause where there is a right there is a left, you just have to keep looking and keep your guard up. Don’t get desperate don’t give up and become just like the sharks.

Living Right

The idea of "Living Right" can be interpreted in many ways. Some may reference their health and others the bible. I personally really like the idea of both. Even though I kind of slack off in both I try my best to catch up. When it comes to health I don't mind running but my schedule just don't permit that activity. My usual time to run on Fridays or Saturdays are at 7:30. During the school week, I'm not allowed to do so. Me not exercising enough is my down fall. I will do crunches and sit-ups at home on my floor every morning and night before I go to bed ,but that's not working my legs just my midsection. I have to step my game up with that.
   I love the Lord, Jesus Christ, but I do admit that I don't read the bible as I should ,but I send up so powerful prayers. I pray every morning and every night. I pray for the community, the state, the government, my family, friends, and classmates, faculty, staff, etc. I tell the Lord to touch hearts and send comfort the minds of those who needs it. The only problem is that I just don't read the good book. Its not that I don't understand it. Its that again with health my time don't permit. My behavior and language in some of my choice discourse communities is something I need to change also.
  My remedy for change is to take it one day at a time and to schedule my time wisely. Being organized really is the key to success.

Team Work

   Normally on Fridays I am at home in the bed because classes are not in session. On this particular Friday I had a meeting at AUM with my group for our Theatre Appreciation Class. I am very pleased with the effort everyone put into the group. We all worked very well together and it was a since of comfort to me knowing I am in a dependable group ,and that I wouldn't mind putting my heart into this project. My group is very nice and understanding and I see now that our project would really be amongst the best of our class.
  In previous years Ive found it hard to work with some people in a group and Ive found the leader role that I sometimes take upon myself to be a bit overwhelming knowing that I really don't have a sturdy support system behind me. My question to the many bloggers today is what would you do I no one in your group steps up? Would you be amongst the rest of the group, in space, or stand and demand. A question to the group who have and leader and a lack of participation for the ratio 1:9. What would you do to make that 100% mark. Lastly to the group with too many leaders how would you resolve all your problems and frustrations? Ponder on this and remember the way you get alone with people is the way you are forever judged throughout life.

My Grammer

   I am not a very skilled in taking tests on grammatically correct sentences. I kind of just rely on the sentence to which I find most common to be used within my very on vocabulary. I just took a comprehensive test and kind of didn't do as well as I wanted. I guess my grammar need work. I could put ideas together well ,but I just don't distinguish between wrong sentences to well, especially when the only thing is different is a comma.
   I have battled with this problem for years. Seems as though the only test to which my grammar was not a problem was the ACT. I don't know what I did there. I just tried my best. I think the only way for me to really over come this little issue is for me, myself, to work on it.

Am I Really a Person People Could Relate To?

   I am completely normal. Well, I think I am. I do admit to be very anti-social. I chat, I dont hold too many full fledge conversations with many people. In high school I was labeled as the up-tight person that people really didn't associate with. I was the SGA President who really didn't find pleasure in the humor of ignorance.
I had a certain group of people, to which, I hung out with. I really use to wonder, as the year progressed, was I a decent person ,to which, anyone from any walks of life to relate to. I already have some consequences against me, with being a plus sized smart African American female with values. All my life people have told me that plus size females are dumb or will never get their dreams accomplished because of her size. I have made it my goal to exceed the expectations of the world, well my world. I am proving so many people wrong right now just by going to college.
   My mother have an "associate", meaning some whom she talks to sometimes, not really a friend, and she really despise the thought that I am doing something with my life. My mother kind of brag to her "associates" about my multiple accomplishments, just as they do about their children. I just don't understand, some the cruel ways of the world. I really cant help the way I was raised and who I really am. The only thing that has forever puzzled me was am I really an understandable person. I know I'm not entirely the life of the party ,but when it comes to business I'm the number one prospect.

Understanding Discourse Community And Its Importance- by Deanna Mascle

    This article was very informing. I really havent thought about that idea for real. Just reflecting on this has made me aware of my multiple personalities. I love to have fun and be with my friends and family. My language with them are just a tad bit different from me talking with my friends, I kind of enjoyed the perception the article gave me of my personality. I had to laugh at the insight this article gave me.
    Have you ever experienced talking to group of intelligent people ,and later was on the phone with a best friend or a boyfriend or girlfriend. It would be a drastic change in pace and in the mind. I have become a pro when it comes to determining what need to be said to certain people. I have found that the audience is a huge key to the choice of words used.

What Is “Academic” Writing? By L. Lennie Irvin

    This article was very enlightening. I really enjoyed the brief and easy tips that were given by the author. I laughed to myself as I read the myths of a college freshman writer. I thought about a few of my previous English classes and the concepts those teachers taught and the change each has brought to my perception of writing.

    The five paragraph rule was surprisingly not hard for me to excuse. I remember my 5th grade year of school it was magnitory for each 5th grader to take a writing test mandated by the Board of Education. My teachers put tedious hours into teaching us the foundation for writing within the "perfect format". As I grew up I learned to write according to the shift. My high school teacher was a stickler for writing according to the shift. She encouraged me to change my writing habits and to just write and revise as needed.

    I really enjoyed the insight the author gave the readers on what the professors are really looking for. This article is definitely an article I'll feel free to reference back to when I find myself struggling in some features of English Comp.
