 A time when I had to take a hiatus is when I was truly trying my best in school and still seeing no progress. It was getting to the point where I started to put school before myself and my personal needs to make others happy. So to overcome this I learned that I have to use less time to gain more information while still retaining. During this time i became better at studying and retaining information as i learned how to do in in a faster and more effective time. In conclusion this is a time when i took a hiatus from something important which is school and studying.  In class we worked on our projects.

 Starting my clothing brand wasn’t just about making something for me, i realized that it made a real difference in my little sister’s life. She always looked up to me, and seeing her inspired by something that I love doing gives me a reason to keep going. I involved her in the process, teaching her about my creativity, business, and the networking side of things and her excitement grew with every step. Watching her see the different people that I have worked with did nothing but inspire her more. she latter realized what’s possible with hard work and a vision to achieve anything. It showed me that success isn’t just about what you achieve, it’s about how you lift others along the way. virtual day

 There’s a different kind of peace when I’m in a park or on a football field, either I'm training or writing down my thoughts. I can be by myself our with friends but most time when I'm at a football field I'm with friends. It’s in those times, whether I’m running drills or just stretching that I feel completely in tune with myself and my thoughts . The stress of the day just goes away, and it gets replaced by focus and freedom. Here, I’m not just working out I'm letting go of my stress. Virtual day

It's something about hearing a harsh truth that stuck with me, even when you wish it didn't. I once heard one of my best friends how they really felt about me, and their words hurt me more than I ever expected. It wasn’t really meant for my ears. Now I can't get it out of my mind, no matter how hard I try to forget. I wish I could unhear it but I just can't, because I thought they really supported me. They said that I was getting cocky because I was starting to make money even though I was helping them out with it. In class we did a semester check and some make up work.

 A Time someones words had a long lasting impact on me when I was younger is when my mom told me that I was going to become anything that I want to be. this stuck with me because she was the first person to tell me this. It is important to me because I view life as a journey where you do anything you want no matter what. in life almost anything can be done because the phrase "cannot be done" is very subjective to one's opinion. In conclusion what my mother said tome when i was younger really stuck with me and had a long lasting impact. Virtual day

 A time when I had to rel on someone happened pretty much my whole life, from when I was a baby to in  my teens I had to rely on my parents. Definitely my mom she has been there from when I was a baby until now and she still continues to help me out when I need it. When i first started my clothing brand i didn't even have enough money to start, she paid for it all. Even when it came to football she helped me pay for everything that i could not afford. My dad also helped me out with certain things that i need too, so those are some of the people that i had to rely on. In conclusion there are always going to be times where you have to rely on someone else so are long as you are trying its ok.

 Something that holds value to me is vision board from last year, it means a lot because i actually completed it without stopping. It was about school, my clothing brand and just life goals in general, the fact that i knew that i could do it helped me continue. Most people only go 2 weeks into the new year and then they quit but i stayed consistent throughout the whole process. It's crazy to think that I got this far that's why it means more to me than because I got to check of everything on my list by the end of the year. In conclusion I feel like that is something that holds a lot of value to me In class we learned what steal is and how to use it.

 A time that I had to step out of my comfort zone is when I moved to Atlanta from New Orleans. It was a big move for me to a place that I only visited during the summer time on my break. It caused me to go to a new place where it feels like I'm the only person who is not from here. Since I've been here a lot of people ask me if it is better or which one I like more. Most of the time I just say they are just different, and that every where has its pros and cons. Today in class we read more of the novel and answered some questions.

1. I would allow phones to be used at school during free time or during lunch time.  2. I would make sure that all teachers in every subject actually know what they are teaching and are not just doing it for the pay check. 3. change the school hours to 6 hours max no longer than 8 hours. 4. give all prisons better food and programs along with monthly/random inspections to make sure they are not treated in a harsh manner. 5. create better school programs to allow students to succeed in other fields of life. In class we just worked on past work and did our blog post.

A dream that felt real was when I though I died because I got shot but it was all a dream. in the dream I was back in New Orleans at a party when two dudes came up. when they came up they wanted to fight, at least that's what they made it seem like. then the pulled out guns and I thought I could run away but they were too close. When I tried to run they both started shooting one shot my leg and the other shot my chest and then when I fell they came up and shot me in the head and that's when I woke up. In conclusion I was glad that it was just a dream. In class we worked on a 10 question assignment and after that we did our blog post.

 During the Break I went back to New Orleans, which is where I'm from it was fun I went to party's and spent time with family. during the time I was out there on new years we had a terrorist attack and that was unfortunate. 5 goals that I want to accomplish before 2025 is over are 1. pass all classes with at least a B, 2. don't let my grades drop lower than a C, 3. Make at least 10,000-20,000 with my clothing brand, 4. I want to Get good at managing and financing my money, 5. Drop a new item at least 5 times this year. The reason I chose these goals are because they are going to help set me up for the future.  In class we went over some new rules for the classroom and grades.
