The final Stretch

What should I write about for my last blog. I guess it would be appropriate to say I enjoy this class learned a lot but I'm glad This will be my last blog. I really don't normally talk about myself so for me its very difficult to discuss things or events going on in my life. I just wanted to say I wish everyone success in life weather that's a great job opportunity or furthering your education. Your destiny is only what you make of it. I know for me I'm just starting and the sky is the limit. I'm on my path that I was meant to take. It just took me a while to realize I needed to change my life style for the better.

I hope this quote inspires some of you. It definitely hits home for me.

Another obstacle

Another obstacle that I over came I managed to get through my first semester in school. At first I had doubts with my crazy work schedule and kids I really thought it was going to be overwhelming and wouldn't be able to follow through. I kept telling myself I'm not a quitter I'm doing something to better my situation. I'm excited that I finished the semester and I realized that the support I have with faculty and family has made this transition so much easier then I had anticipated. It just encourages me more that if I put my mind into something that I can manage any obstacle in the way.
I can't wait to see what next semester entails for me but at least I'm ready and prepared and eager for the next chapter in my life. I wish everyone the best and I hope to see everyone on graduation.
 
 

Changing my Future

I hope everyone enjoyed memorial day with friends and family last week. Unfortunately I was working . I couldn't wait to leave work and enjoy some time with my family. Can you believe how quickly this semester flew by we only have a couple more classes left.
Not to change subject but I was at work today and I work in a call center not the best job in the world but it's a job. I over heard agents complain how bad they hated the job and just pretty much rambling on in negative conversation . While they were talking in my mind I was asking myself if they feel this way towards coming to work why don't they change careers or better them selves go back to school get a degree or put out applications to other jobs. Then I realized their our people in life who like to complain and be negative they strive off peoples sympathy. I'm sure everyone has been around these kinds of people either at work or even have family members that constantly complain about how everything in life is horrible. What I never understood you create your own destiny in life instead of constantly being negative change your situation. What I have learned those people wear your energy levels and your spirits down. They want you to be in the same predicament as them. So what I have done is started to disconnect or disassociated myself with that mind set and I notice I started attracting positive people in my surroundings. There for making me have a better out look on life. I started believing again that I can accomplish anything I put my mind to achieve I will accomplish.

People playing god

ORLANDO, Fla. —

An Orlando police officer was forced to fire his weapon at a car carrying suspects in a fatal shooting outside a nightclub early Sunday morning, according to police.
Police said Officer Robert Schellhorn, who was off duty officer working security, entered the Whiskey River Lounge on North Orange Blossom Trail just before 2 a.m. when a witness reported a shooting in the parking lot.
The witness alerted the officer to a suspect vehicle that immediately accelerated toward the officer, forcing him to draw his weapon and fire, officers said.
“The suspects immediately accelerated toward the officer, trying to run him over. The officer did discharge his service weapon,” said Sgt. Jim Young, with the Orlando Police Department.
The officer was able to avoid being hit as the suspects sped away.
Reports said that a passenger jumped out of the speeding car and ran away on Orange Blossom Trail.
The vehicle was later found unoccupied near the intersection of John Young Parkway and Orange Center Boulevard with guns inside, according to police.
“Inside that vehicle there were some guns located, however, no suspects have been located at this time,” Young said.
Around 3 p.m. Saturday afternoon, police identified the victim as 21-year-old Thomas Lamar McCrimon.
He was rushed to the hospital, where he later died.
The reason I am even mentioning this incident one of my coworkers was the girlfriend of the victim
who passed away. I don't understand why people feel the need to take deadly force to solve a dispute. He wasn't provoking the individual. He just happened to be in the wrong place at the time. I wish people had more compassion and didn't feel that they have the right to take someone's life.
 

What Keeps me Going

Inspirational quotes and motivational quotes have the power to get us through a bad week, and can even  give us the courage to pursue our life’s dreams.. Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve. Put your heart, mind, and soul into even your smallest acts. This is the secret of success.
Since I started my journey with bettering myself I realized that it takes a lot of perseverance and dedication. I new it wasn't going to be easy by no means. I feel proud and exhilarated with in myself that I over come obstacles and still remain focus on my goals. Whether it's work, family, or even school. I believe its being tired of my current situation. I get looked over on promotions at work. With the end result getting my degree at least I feel I would have more opportunities and doors opening.

I came across a Quote I hope you guys enjoy this.

Don't limit yourself. Many people limit themselves to what they think they can do. You can go as far as your mind lets you. What you believe, remember, you can achieve.

Thinking of mothers day

     As I sit in class I'm trying to think about what I want to say or speak about this week. First of all to all the mothers out there I hope you were able to enjoy your day. I know I did spending time with all my children at the same time is unheard of in my house . Between there friends and school my house seems to have a revolving door. I realized no matter what's involved in my children's lives I still take preference .This past week I'm glad that I got through the midterms. Over this past week it has been extremely difficulty. I don't know if I'm the only one but this school year for my children just flew by. They only have a couple weeks left. I can hardly believe that where did the time go.
    

 


As I read this I can't help to think about my own mother. How sometimes I take her for granted. She has always been my biggest supporters. Even when she new I was making a mistake but she always encouraged me to make my own decisions and never judge me. 

INSPIRATION

 

    This week I have been noticing I have been researching inspirational quotes to keep me motivated. This week I have come into situations with my family issues. I have a teenage son almost ready to graduate high school. Omg I cant believe how quickly they grow up. He is my motivation he knows how much I have been striving to excel in everything when I feel like giving up he keeps me in line with my goals and gives me pep talks to keep pushing me.

    I hope everyone in class had a wonderful week. This week I realized why I decided to go back to school to get a degree I cant stand having a dead end job. Has anyone had a supervisor who favors certain employees. I do .I think the only way for me is to focus on getting my degree and then moving onto to something I'm going to love.
     If you accept the expectations of others, especially negative ones, then you never will change the outcome. I hope someone can relate to this saying. I'm trying to surround myself with positive influences.
