Giving up is not an option

Being successful is more than having money and fame. Being successful is more of a state of mind. A state of mind knowing that you are at the top of your game. Many people have gotten the concept of being successful wrong. From Hip Hop recording artist Drake, "I want the money, cars, and clothes, I just want to be successful." Is that what being successful is? All those things are worldly possessions. When you die and your soul is put into the position of going to the Heaven or Hell, you will not be able to take none of these things with you. While they are nice to have while on earth, these things will die along with you. Being successful to me is to be content with life, and things therein. A few years back I had written out goals for my life.

  1. Start my own publishing company to publish my books magazines and other literature and to give other new authors a new outlet for their work
  2.  Start a restaurant franchise
Those are just two of the things that I would love to accomplish in life. Although, becoming an entrepreneur would give me all the worldly possessions that I desire, it would not be for the sole purpose of those things. I feel like I can make a difference in this world, through my literature, my businesses, and aura how I present myself to others. 

As days go by I worry that I will never reach my full potential. I worry that I will forever be in the position that I am. Stuck! While I figured that I have done things the right way, you know graduate from high school, go to college, internship, but so many roadblocks in my life has pushed me to think where did I go wrong? What wrong turn did I make? Why have I fallen in to the I wish I had and I can't wait until I do this instead of look at what I accomplished? Giving up is not an option. Giving up will mean that I have given up on God, and those that believe in me. That would mean that I would have wasted the talent that God has given me. That would mean I would have wasted all the time that I have put in to be where I am. As I go day by day I am beginning to become overwhelmed and wandering where to turn. SO, GOD here I am.

Do You Remember?

 Do you remember your first period? I remember when I had my first period. I was twelve, actually closer to thirteen. It was in September, my birthday is in October. I wasn't feeling well at my grandmother's funeral, and when we got home, I notified my mother that something was different. I knew what to do because she we discussed the inevitable frequently.  I got sick, I mean real sick. I was sick to the point that everything on my body ached especially my lower abdomen and back. I had diarrhea where I ran to the bathroom frequently, headaches, hot and cold flashes, and most of all I vomited to the point where it was just bile coming up. Not to mention a week/two weeks before I started my period, I would experience PMS (Premenstrual Syndrome). My mood swings were/are sometimes dangerous.  I remember dreading my period coming up because of how it made me feel; still to this day I usually have the same feeling. My period warranted me the option of staying home from school on the

My Journey...... So far..............

     When I graduated high school May 31, 2005. I enjoyed my summer. Then about August 25 I went down to Montgomery, Alabama to attend Alabama State University. While at Alabama State University I made friends and memories that will last with me for a life time.       Around the end of my sophomore year nearing spring break a representative from Walt Disney World college program came to our school. My best friends and I attended the presentation after we preregistered for our Fall 2007 classes. After we attended the presentation, we were invited to an interview. I went to my interview and the representative asked me to come and become an intern at Walt Disney World. I temporarily accepted the position. I called my mother excited as ever. I asked her do she think it would be a good idea if I went. She told me it was an opportunity of a lifetime and how could I even be thinking about it. I thought I would have to be take some time out of school, but she said I never been why not go for
