Remember the little girl that lost her soul? I talked to her the other day. She looked happy.. A bit happier than usual.
From our conversation she left me with a few points about life. After losing herself to that guy, she realized that she could not continue living life wondering 'What if..'

Life of A College Student!
Welcome Back !
I hope everyone had a great thanksgiving and you're counting down the days until Christmas.
As a college student this time means FINALS FINALS FINALS!!
A Letter to Grandma
Dear Grandma,
Let me tell you a secret, I've been counting down this day since December 2nd 2014. There you go that's the secret. *Imagines your laughter*
From April 2014, my life changed. How? Because you fell sick. In my entire life of living, Never did I hear about you being sick to the point where you had to end up in the hospital. I'll admit, I was scared from that day forward. As I learnt about your condition and the improvements as time went by I had hope that well 2015 you'd be ringing the New Year as we usually do.

Giving Thanks.
It's Thanksgiving !! The time of the year that everyone look forward to.. Especially college students.
The question that often arises is, "What are you thankful for?" To me, I personally feel that as a person you should not dedicate one day of the year to give thanks. When giving thanks you should do it everyday. Whole-heartedly; not just to seek recognition. Rather, let the thanks flow genuinely from your heart.

Read All About It
I know I haven't written in over a week. But I've been busy with school. You know that point of the semester when you're wondering if it's worth it; yes, I've arrived at it. But no worries I'll push thru it.
"Yeah, we're all wonderful, wonderful people
So when did we all get so fearful?
Now we're finally finding our voices"
'S O U L F U L' . . .
I once got the chance to interact with this little girl. She was brown skinned with thick long black hair. She had one of the brightest smiles I had ever seen and was always happy. She would enter the room and everyone would be happy to see her; because she made your day.
Hello N O V E M B E R !
Guys! It's November 1st! 24 days till Thanksgiving! 53 Days till Christmas! Two of my favorite seasons and times of the year.
Let Me Tell You About A Place . . .
Moving to the United States has been a HUGEE impact on my life. I realized that sharing with people about where I grew up; not many people knew the location of the British Virgin Islands. I remember a few asking if it was located on the continent of Africa. Africa? Come on!! Did you hear the ending 'Islands'?!?!
TGIFFFF !
It's finally the day we all have been looking forward to. Some of us we've had a great week; we received great news and life is going great. While there is those of us whose week started off great but up to yesterday we received news that changed our lives.
Dear Mama & Papa Bear..
Dear Mama Bear,
I've watched you work from the time I came into this world. You always pushed me and reminded me to do my best. And when I felt like giving up you reminded me that I should never settle for less. You've always inspired me to be strong. I've seen you at your weakest points and watched you remain calm. And every time I may slowly wonder away; you know even before I do and ensure me that I need to stay.

Falling.
Have you ever felt like you were falling ? I'm not talking about love . . .
You're falling because of an event that occurred in your life ...
You've fallen off track or shifted from the original course that you were taking.
You've fallen to the floor like the shooting star you attempted to catch, but missed it some where in the process.

Dreams.
Maya Angelou has always been one of my favorite poets. I was
introduced to her my first year of high school with 'I Know Why The Caged Bird
Sing.' As a college student sometimes you become overwhelmed with
work and get ready to give up. Other times, some go into the field just because
they know it would make money. The reality of the situation is 'Are you HAPPY
at the end of these 4 years?' After you've spent a fortune on a diploma you
leave and realize, 'Oh Mannnnn I've Made A Terrible Choice. I'm Really Not
Happy in this position.'
