Decisions

I have made a lot of decisions to make a change in my life because I know that if I wouldn't of had I was ever going to get no where or make a step for my life and my success. Yes I am satisfied with my decisions that I am making because I have been doing things that where never going to get me no where till this day I am glad I have done something to change things. I need to look for jobs and start working in order for me to get things and get somewhere and get cash for my education. If CCEO Youth Build was not here I would of never made a step to my life and had made a change in my life. I am deciding to be somethings important for my life to give my family back.  I am glad that I made a change in to my life because if I wouldn't I would have never taken a step towards my success. I learned things that have changed my life I know for a fact that failure is part of my success.

The Final Stretch

Over time I have been trying to build up my self so that I can get to my success. It has not been easy, I have learned a lot from all the things that I been trough all my ups and downs. I was involved with drugs and that was messing me up in school always ditching and never attending class as you can see I was not getting credits and was not on track to graduation. I got introduced to this school called CCEO YouthBuild and it made me realize that I care a lot about my education that I want to make things better for me and be a leader and good example to my brothers because I want them to know that everything is possible if you put in the work in it. I ain't trying to give up because they are the ones that push me to keep going on in life. I´m proud of the choices that I been making and how easy it was to change the way I was thinking. I see  my self graduating and making my parents happy and proud of me. Everything matters because as I said I have brothers that are looking at me and any mistake I make they will follow. The way teachers changed from all the period of time here is a good feeling because I was able to be and know people that where able to help me with my work. The way we talk to the new students and show them how Youth build works and how they need to respect this place I call home. I love the teachers from here they have been a big support to me and my future.

If I had an hour

If I had an Hour to talk to the president I would talk to him about my people. I know that we have a bill of rights and branches and laws that we respect. I know that theirs ways that we can get money to pay dept and get more money. I just want to say that students need that money and to find corporations that help students get things done and get more careers. I would want him to comprehend that theirs things that can  be done to make schools better and that they need more support to get things done. Theirs student that need more help than others and that something that they need to know. Also a big one is learning how to use their money wisely with student. I think this is the main things I would talk about with him.

Describe a time you failed and learned from it and how did you think about failure?

One time that I seen that I have had been hopeless and felt that I failed was when my parents found out that I used drugs. I never wanted to tell my parents I smoked and that it was becoming a habit. I can say it was a day where I just didn't want them to know and I felt like I had let them down. My parents always give me everything but their was things that I was going trough in some times that I didn't think about my actions. I haven't stop at this moment of life because I use it just so that I can sleep because I can't sleep in the nights and that helps me just relax. I just think that I keep failing my parents over time but as I get older I learn different things. I think that failure comes in different ways. I also know that some people learn from some of those failures but some don't. Its all about how you see it and deal with it.  

This week

One thing that I remember about last week was that I am really good in doing my work and that if I set my mind to anything I can do it. Another thing that I learned was that i'm almost done with credits so i'm in a row. Also, I remember that I got to learn how to find Independent Clause, Fragment, Complete Predicate, Subject, and verb. This was for English and it was pretty easy. Honestly I feel pretty good I got everything under control I been on task doing my work for government. It's kinda weird because they changed my scheduled I don't have PE no more but since I only need one more week in Sarah  class I would be done with my us Government. My expectations for this week is that we get more into Apps and start making them. Other thing is that we go to filed trips. Finally I want to get into our pot luck because we need to get together as one in class.

Quit is not in my vocabulary

No  that is not all I got!!! Yes I am giving my all in class for me to be able to graduate in time. Yes I am doing all I need to do. I'm even doing extra work so that I can graduate with good grades. Yes I have been doing my finals and putting in work like I did a presentation things I don't like doing with a power point. Thing that the teacher didn't ask for but I still did it. I could give my 120% and show that I enjoy being their and helping people even if I don't because that's going to take me to where I want to be in my long run life. I think that this means that when you give your all to your dream you ain't going to give up easy that  no matter what you are going to do all it takes to get to where you want to. Yeah they maybe some things that are going to set you down from doing good but you have to learn to let them go because they can over come you when you least expecting them. For me I haven't given up on school, I haven't gotten self-selected 2 in my 2 years I have been int this school so other than that I keep striking for the best because I know how it is.

  

Legacy

What drives him is the fact that he wants to leave a legacy and that he wants to show people that he was able to get to where he wanted to get because he is capable of doing the things that people told him he was not going to be able to do. Like the guy from jail told him he was going to be one of the guys that would end up in jail and he when back ant proved him wrong that he was wrong in his conception of him. I plan to be their for them and do the things that will show them that it's okay to do because sometimes we fail and those are the things that make us grow stronger and shows us how reality is but it all has to be done by actually wanting to learned from them mistakes. I plan to leave a legacy that is willing to try the things that are hard and that people call hard because those things ain't hard till you actually try and you give it a try and actually you realize that ain't hard if you put in the  time. It's all you to actually want to get somewhere because no one all's is going to be doing the work for you. It takes time and that time is the time you have to put in. Like the brothers said what you put in it is what you get out. This is a big impact to me because I am doing whats in my hand to give all the things I am capable of giving in this world. So that people can see that I am coming from the bottom and that i'm getting out from the hole that i'm in because I want to better my self as a person. Also, just the fact that I want my brothers to look up to me and see that I can do it so they can. I want to be the first to go to college and show them that It's doable nothing in this world is hard.
