My mini pep-talk <3 :)

Hey ya’ll! I hope everyone is well! I know I am starting to stress out but we’re almost done! Stay strong and push forward! My last couple of weekends have been spent in front of a screen and glued to a chair, I know it’ll be totally worth it though!

Since this is a free write, I just wanted to post a little pep talk! (Who knows who’ll read this though, am I right?) Ha-ha sorry the inner counselor in me is coming out! 😊 Anyway, being a student is hard, but remember that nothing worth it is easy. We chose to be here and we all had or have our reasons.

Let us make the best of what we have! Imagine yourself 2 years, or 4 years from today. Where will you be? What will you be doing? Will you be happy? Make today count! Take care of yourself and love others.

In a world where you can be anything you want to be, be kind! Everyone has their own battles, and sometimes a smile, a hug, or even a simple hello can make someone’s day.

Thank you for reading my mini pep talk <3.

Books-Michelle Obama

BLog 6

My Project is on career choices. I am basically gonna be doing research on a different career there are in this world. Well careers that cater to me. Ima be using Michelle book to find what she did once her career was found and what all she to become successful. I might even look into her career choice well her first choice.

Picking a career is hard especially when you don’t wanna work for anyone but yourself. But of course, that’s what the world is. I done went through soo many career choices u would have thought I dropped school more than 5 times. An that was in one year. But ima choose soon eventually. Hopefully after this project.

I would choose to be an electronic engineer but Georgia state doesn’t major in that for some reason. a that’s why I plan to transfer from here to another school suitable for my needs. This research paper won’t be easy but with the right amount of resources, it would be easy for me.

My project

Hey ya’ll! I can’t believe we’re on blog 6! I mean it feels like just yesterday we met Dr. Perry am I right? I hope everyone is doing well and pushing though these last couple of weeks (we’re almost done for the semester!) Anyway, before even finishing the book, I already had a topic chosen for this paper. In chapter 4, I believe, Michelle Obama talks about “gifted and talented” programs.

This immediately caught my attention considering the fact that I will one day be working in the school system myself as a counselor. I must admit to you that I have not always been a good student. In fact, from middle school to high school I was a lousy student. It’s not that I was uncapable of doing better, I just didn’t feel encouraged to do so.

In my paper, I plan on exploring the topic of  underrepresented children in gifted programs and the challenges that many face that hinder them from greater opportunities. This is a topic that I strongly identify with. I am very passionate about underprivileged children’s education, so this project is definitely on a more personal level for me.

why read this book? I say u read this book if u need direction in life or help. I especially would prefer this to women and young women to read. This is also a good book for men read to get an insight into what young women were going through back in her time and what can still be going on right now.

I would say this book can be read also to learn lessons. You can learn lessons by reading this book especially young women in today’s society. this book should be read if you wanna know what it takes to be successful in life. I say you read this book if u want to know an interesting story about a powerful black women’s struggles and what it took to make it to the top.

YES, READ BECOMING!

Why should you read this book? Well, the obvious answer is if you are interested in Michelle Obama’s and want to get to know her on a profound level. Its an autobiography ALL about her so it should be pretty straight forward when you look at the book cover to know what’s inside. Even if you are not a big fan of autobiography books, Becoming is a great book to read as she tells fascinating stories about her life that get you hooked. If you love to laugh, cry, and smile when you are reading or even listening to anything, I encourage you to read Becoming! I would especially recommend this book to those people who aren’t a fan of the Obama’s; Why? Because although you may not be a fan, you may not know them well enough to see how great and how much they have got through before and after the campaigns. If you would give this book a chance, you will immediately notice how normal the Obama’s really are. You may not take my word from it, but I would say this; I honestly do not like reading period, but when I read this book its not anything that will bore you since every chapter has an exciting story to change your view on Michelle and the Obama’s.

Why read Becoming?

Recently, my English 1102 class was assigned to read Michelle Obama’s autobiography, Becoming. When our professor showed us the book, my jaw dropped. I am an extremely slow reader and at times even unmotivated. I was scared I’d pick it up, read it, and be scared off. However, after reading the first couple of pages of the preface, I was hooked.

Had I not read it, I would have never known that a former first lady and I had so much in common (well, in the beginning of our lives at least). She, as well as I, grew up in the not so nice part of town. She grew up on the southside of Chicago, where as I grew up in the southside of Atlanta. To me, this is a motivational story that is meant to inspire hope. That right there is reason enough to read this book!

I believe that it does us well as individuals to learn from others. Mrs. Obama does a great job in letting us in on everything that went on throughout her journey both good and bad. It reminds us that there is no direct path in life, but that there are sometimes detours and stops along the way. Although her life may seem to us outsiders as all glitz and glam, we don’t know what it’s like to be in her shoes. What we do learn from her is that you have to just work with what life gives you.

If you are going through a rough patch in life, or just need to be motivated, I encourage this book. Even the rich and famous have their own struggles, and it’s comforting to know that they’re not all that different from us on the inside.
