I’m a 25 year young University Student pursuing his Bachelor’s Degree in Healthcare Administration, with 2 months until graduation I don’t know why I didn't start this blog until now. I’m slightly older than the average college student I've seen a lot, partied a lot, and still want to do it all as well. I’m blessed with not only book smarts, but also street smarts. I believe some people who obtain power only do so for the title, sort of like bragging rights, not necessarily to help those who are in need. I believe life is like shooting dice, one day you're down, the next you're up, but I don't believe one solely succeeds by his or her actions; I believe there is some kind of divine force that occurs, causing a particular action to take place for whatever reason, good or bad. I believe the perception of skin color is a curse, and unless you've walked a mile in a person's shoes, judgment should never be rendered, only deferred until that person's actions justify your judgments, and if they don't, you owe that person an apology. I grew up in a two parent household, regular city kid, not poor, but not rich either. I grew up with anger issues early because my father and I didn't always see eye to eye, I claimed he was never there, and he’d claim when you’re the head of the household, that’s what men do. Maybe it was me being a middle child, or just a stubborn child that made me who I am today…who knows. I knew how to follow the rules, I just never did. I knew the norms and what was expected of me, but I never fit in. The out casted crowd is who I knew, I could relate, they felt robbed, and in a way I felt the same. Not necessarily that someone owed us anything, but rather that no one cared.

I don't know why I’m writing this, I've always been a secretive person, never showing feelings or emotions because of that one bad experience in my past, you know…that one experience that won't allow a single sole near your heart, just so that pain never repeats itself again. I’ve learned that letting go of old habits is hard, it requires skill, patience, and discipline, and if anyone of these elements is missing the process cannot take place. I’m all for positive change in all aspects of the meaning, and I believe that change must occur in order for the evolution of mankind to continue to exist. I’ve started this blog to get positive insight on decisions, issues, and life… I don’t know where my life is headed, where I’ll wind up at, but I know where I want to go, and I hope you’ll join me on this journey!
