Personal Legends

        Many people believe in personal legends and I am one of them. Personally, I believe mines is to teach others. Currently, I am battling between two things that I enjoy doing which is makeup and teaching younger kids. However, I feel as though my general purpose in life is to teach others.

        When I pass away I want people to remember me as someone who enjoyed helping the younger kids. I want to be that person in the neighborhood that all of the little kids love. I hope to become a role model for kids. If I stay in school and remain positive minded I believe I can be the person that kids need to see growing up more often. When I get older I do want to love away from where I grew up but not too far. I plan to reside close enough to still be able to be involved in my community.  I also plan on being active in local communities, freely giving of my time and talents to benefit people. 

        Being remembered as good proactive teacher also mirrors the general concept of being a role model for children. I believe when children are young it is very important that the are around people who are positive influences because it sets goals for them and ultimately motivates them to also achieve their personal goals in life. I would like to be able to teach others to love themselves and to never let hardships stop you from the things you want to achieve in life. Where there is a will there is a way.

Look around 

Not down

For I am gone

I'll be back by dawn

Life can get wild when we're caught in the world wind

But what is there in life to win?

Peace. Success. Love

Hold onto your innocence 

Somewhat like a dove

When you need me

Look above

I'll still be with you

Just like I used to

Remember me by my jokes

And the times we didn't want to end...

For it won't be long

Until we meet again

"That's all Folks"

Week 13 Poem

Yo check it 

Im real nice with the way that I talk 

When my alarm clock goes off

I get the job done and leave you in shock

I treat people kind

Keeping their needs in mind

That always makes a difference within due time

It sets you apart 

Dodge the negativity like a dart

Be the person who does things from the heart

No matter where you work 

You will always deal with other people

So never act like a jerk

Get the job done and Murk..

The competition

for being the best at what you do is your only mission

Week 13.

        I have recently quit my job that I was working for, for eight months at Alltown Market and picked up a new job. I am now working as a substitute for Bright Horizons. Therefore because I legit just started the job and only worked one day so far I will talk about both of my jobs.
        One thing I always liked about my job at Alltown was that I did not have to do much when I worked. I was just the cashier, so I did not have too many things to be responsible for. Being the cashier was also very simple, so I liked it because I only had to worry about my register and I was very good at handling their money. I feel like it is always a good feeling when your job is very simple because then it starts to feel like your getting paid to do nothing. When I worked there I always appreciated how simple my job was.
        Now that I am working for Bright Horizons I see a lot more thins that I like. One of the things that I love about this job is that I pick my own days to work. Although, that can be bad sometimes I have been lucky so far to find enough shifts so that I am not left without a shift. I like that I can pick my own days to work because sometimes school and require me to have a lot of homework and I need extra days off to also do my homework. Some jobs frown upon when a student has to require so many days off for school. Even if it is not for school I can have a day just for me to have fun or either lay back and relax and to me that makes me happy. It does not make me feel so pressured to work.
        The other thing I like about my new job is that I do not have to wear uniform. I just have to be dressed in a casual business style. I used to have to wear uniform at my job at Alltown, and I hated it. The uniform was so ugly and all the other employees also hated it. I always loved dressing up so I love the fact that I can be myself more at my current job. I feel like I appreciate this more because I was required to wear a uniform that I hated at Alltown so now I tend to appreciate this small factor a tad bit more.

The wider path

                      My Ultimate Future

My plan A is to have a beautiful family and kids and it would go a little something like this...

"Finally I get to open my eyes after this deep sleep I was in" is what I thought to myself. I stretched and took a glance at my beautiful gifts lying beside right beside me. My two baby girls and my husband lay still asleep in the beautiful home we worked hard to buy. I got up and walked to the room that was designed for me to have my "me time". I liked to enjoy my mornings here because it was a peaceful setting. I finished lounging and had to get ready for work. I had to head to my other children. My students. I work with kindergartners and I loved it. After I got myself ready for work, I had to wake and prepare my girls for school.  Every morning I looked at them and it was all so surreal. I had my beautiful kids and an amazing husband that helped me create them. I thanked God every morning for the simple blessings of just sending my precious daughters off to school.

Unexpected Turn
         However, things do change but not always for the worse. If things were to change in my life this is how I think it would go because I can't predict any bad things happening in my life.
        I always loved makeup and applying it on others. I found myself bored sometimes because all I did was teach and spend almost all of my time around children. So I had to find something else I enjoyed doing that could also take my mind off things. I came up with the idea of doing makeup tutorials and posting them onto my YouTube and other social media accounts. Overtime my popularity grew within the YouTube social site. People actually liked what I was doing. They liked what I was doing so much that some people even asked to pay and have me do their makeup. Things started to pick up, money was coming in and I was happy. I was doing both of the things I ultimately loved. Then, one day I awoke and prepared myself for a YouTube tutorial that I wanted to record. Like always, I checked my email first when I logged into my computer. I noticed a strange new email from an account I didn't recognize. I opened the email and it read that the manager for the Victoria Secret models was looking for a new dynamic makeup artist. The told me they loved my craft and how I was using it and if I would be interested in doing makeup for the models during major runway events. My heart dropped on the floor. I was shocked but so thankful for this opportunity. I was jumping up and down and ran to my husband and shared the news with him. Finally, after celebrating for five minutes I replied to the email taking the opportunity. I continued the rest of my day thinking of how the next few years of my life could possibly change.
1 month and a half later...
Me and the manager whose name was Kiko often communicated. He presented me with one of their major events and was wondering if my time was free for the fashion week weekend in New York City. Some of the models were going to be part of one of the shows and I was more than excited to be be able to help ass my creativity. Of course, I said yes immediately especially after Kiko mentioned how much I would be getting paid for those three days. I was going to get paid 30,000 dollars just for being their makeup artist for that one weekend. I could only imagine how the next opportunities that would be presented to me would also make me a lot of money. Life was going to be great and I was more than excited for the future because now I was doing both of the things I love having enough time to avoid stress.

Growing up is hard to do.

So silent life was

Listening for God's will

Hoping I can hear him

Speak directly into my heart

God will always be with me 

As long as I hold onto him

He will guide me

To a path of happiness

Growth 

But with mistakes too

One cannot be so great without being wise

And with being wise requires trials and tribulations

Holding on 

God will show up for me

He will rescue me at my worst 

Showing me that Life is about Trials and Tribulations

In the end life is full 

Life will be worth it

My sunny days will last 

The rain will only pass...

Visuals Journal Response & Poem

        Looking into the future I just see positivity. I hope to see positivity is what I should say. However, with such a want for positivity in my life can allow me to ignore the negativities that surround me everyday. I hope that I never stop trying to become a better me. The reason I picked most of those pictures, was because they made me feel the most clear. I feel as though if those things were to happen in the future I would have much more clarity on life. My life would be the most calm and relaxing if certain things that I want in my future would take place. I just want to be happy, and though it sounds cliche` I believe it is achievable.

   In a grey world

In certain places you find color

Color so bright

That makes you think how did I miss this

Happiness is sort of like that

Learning from mistakes

With the world working together to help you become better

When you finally know what you want in life

You feel like you should have been knew your wants

Your dreams and your passions

But it is never too late

Hold on to your dreams 

When you finally get a hold of them

because then...

the world blooms of color

Passion Poem

It doesn't matter What you want to beAs long as it makes you happyMusic clearly, enlightens our days, Makes us happy, in so many waysJust like music there is beautyIn a world full of ugly thingsWe get to paint a beautiful world instead To be living life unhappyis what I dreadI want to dance hand in hand with my passionsMy heart will lead happiness will lingerIll grab my dreams tighterSo that they can lift me up higherI want to dance slowly and closely with my dreamsDont miss a stepFor your dreams and passionsmay outdance you and then what would you be left with?
