FAITH & HOPE

2011-01-16T17:52:00.002-05:00

Faith, who brings me closely connected to God.

Hope, that carries out the slightest dream.

Together Faith and Hope, reaches their hand and guides the light that was once darkened.

Faith, is a piece of me that is silent once I speak to the man upstairs and it only comes out everyday,but in an extraordinary way.

You see, what is beautiful about Faith and hope, is the mere idea behind my kind-hearted ways. I don't boast about what I have, yet I share it. I don't cry because I want to, I cry because I have to. Faith and Hope, allows me to carry a purpose of helping others without thinking twice just because I AM A HELPER.

Caught off guard by my actions, those close to me have asked, WHY are you so kind?...my response I Just am, I don't know why.

My Faith and Hope is behind what God allows me to be and what I love to do as a human is being Helpful.

Faith and Hope can bring you a long way to everything you desire! :)

Breaking

2011-01-16T17:45:00.002-05:00

There comes a point in one life,that he or she comes to a breaking point.

This person delivers their best and aknowledge the weakness of the discripencies.

If breaking me down has torn me apart,then how does raising me up occur?

What happens,when I fall and struggle to get up?

Who will rescue me from the breaking that I self-evaluate when my eyes are closed?

Breaking, has become a tiredsome agenda in life.

If I get the strength;when I get the strength, Who will hold out their hands and say I am here for you?

Breaking, I face structiny over your careless efforts to bring me back to life!

I share the pain of others breaking,but one thing will set me apart I fight with breaking.

SKIES ( FRIENDSHIP)

2010-07-19T22:29:00.004-04:00

AS SHE STANDS AND PACES HER EVERY STEP, SHE PONDERS THE FRIENDSHIP SHE ENACTS UPON OTHERS.

TAKING THE OPPORTUNITY FOR HER OWN MILES STONES, SHE PONDERS AS SHE LOOKS IN THE CLEAR BLUE SKIES THAT SEEMS SO INNOCENT.

IN FACING WITH THE TURBULANCE THAT IS YET TO COME,SHE PACES STEP BY STEP AND WITH FURTHER PACING SHE STUMBLES UPON AN UNCERTAIN PROMISE OF WHICH IS UNPRECENDENTED.

IN THE SKIES THAT SEEM SO INNOCENT ,SHE REALIZES THE SKY BECOMES DARKER AND MIST STARTS TO FORM OF FOG AND RAIN.

THEN PACING BECOMES A SUDDEN JILT OF NUMBNESS, WHAT HAPPENED?, WHERE DID I GO WRONG?

OF COURSE HER SUBCONCIOUS IS SIGNALING TO THE STORMS OF THUNDER( ANGER), RAIN (TEARS)...

DOMINATED BY PACE THAT STANDS NEAR OF QUESTIONS UNANSWERED, PIECES OF THE RAIN BECOME HARD LIKE HAIL.

PACING NO MORE, AN EMBODDED QUIETNESS APPRACHED "SUNSHINE"( SMILES OF LIFE ONCE AGAIN .

The Storm

2010-04-05T13:43:00.000-04:00

The storm
In the outside view everything seemed magical,
Transitions were difficult to be self-motivated,
Allowing the wisdom of others to carry my dreams through,
The storm cast its rain, thunder, and lighting…
Pushing and pulling my every move.
Careless I ran onto the unknown,
Careless I thought it would be smooth,
Taking risk and never looking back I thought I came prepared,
Shielded from the sun and clouds,
The storm caught me through the worst moment,
Blinded by satisfaction of the sun and the clouds,
Never thought the storm would come and tear me into pieces,
Broken into the thunder of wisdom, the lighting of others, and the rain of tears.
Lost and confused the storm has yet to ease for now.
Search for the rainbow at the end of the storm has not been found…
Fog seems to never clear up; when all possible seems impossible the storm comes!

MAYA ANGELOU'S :STILL I RISE

2010-03-29T16:53:00.004-04:00

IN HONOR OF WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH, HOMAGE TO A POET :

Still I Rise

You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.

Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.

Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise.

Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops.
Weakened by my soulful cries.

Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don't you take it awful hard
'Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines
Diggin' in my own back yard.

You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I'll rise.

Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I've got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?

Out of the huts of history's shame
I rise
Up from a past that's rooted in pain
I rise
I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise.

Three different me's

2010-02-02T01:19:00.005-05:00

I was told one way, impressed many another way,yet I'm firm today because of three different me's. Everyone has a story,yet I'm blessed to share where i've come and where i'm going,you see because there are three different me's;therefore,I share three different me's in what others saw in the past,what they see now and what will be present in the future.I haven't changed personality wise,if anything I have matured with island roots that are instilled, I have been dealt a set of cards better than some,and worst than others,but what manages to keep me moving,what manages to keep the "eye on the prize" is my humblness from where it all began as a quiet,simple little person to emerge into what is known as the "woman" you see today because there are three differnt stories to me!

I respect my past,question my present,and embrace my future,here lies the powerful mind of a child who once had a timid voice,now lifts her voice to a song like no other.
Three differnt me's with a purpose,with a voice,and with a heart!I have not changed,nor do I plan to,but what makes my life a miracle is whatI have been brought through,and yet I still look at my past ,and can admit to myself ,and others that I have come too far ,and hurdled over three me's just to send a message to others that If the impossible is really possible,like the fallen star once said,then I am a messanger from God to testify as a witness that we must not take life for granted,and even in the simplest from life has a way of showing that God performs miracles,and obstacles can be over-reached by the three different me's of everyone; who you were in the past,who you are in the present,and you will be in the future!

Imperfection does well!

2010-01-20T17:00:00.003-05:00

There is no perfect person,in this world that we call home.

these creatures we call human are made to sin,the souls that they have are sinned.

the fragile steps leaped onto this world is made of imperfection!

My eyes were made for me to see,yet i observe want I do not want too.

The outcast of the human cries of the imperfection that does so well.

Vivid the imagination of the soul that observes,whispers to the silent sounds of imperfection that does well.

Rigid,dynamic,yes we are...yet many want to uphold this perfection that is untrue to thy ownself...

vivacious,they are eager to want and yet do not try the hard road always wanting...EASY COME, EASY GO!

imperfection is the beautiful of being human,so why is that we try to be something we are not?...imperfection does well in the eyes of the of a "golden spoon,rather than the silver spoon.

The Disability

2009-11-27T14:21:00.001-05:00

I have a disability,
It is not visable; therefore, you would never know if you saw me walking down the street!
It is not rare, but it is gives me motivation.
This disability challenges my learning.
It does not define me, but it does hurt me!
It is an agonizing pain that is consistently in the back of my mind.
It has broken my understanding, and gives me no remorse.
This is a silent disability that only surfaces when its’ times to calculate, read, or write.
It is defined as dyscalculia, dyslexia, and dyscraphia…
The worst part of this disability is it has been apart of my life for a long time.
Yet, in retrospect, it is a disability that I have learned to make an ability.
I have failed and succeed through it,
Many try to understand, but they simply do not!
I must admit it has driven me to conquer my fears, fear in learning…
The disability arrived well in stride when I reached college, and still exist to this day!
The disability overcame the dream, and made college possible,
because I made this disability, an ability within me!

Decisions

2009-09-03T17:37:00.001-04:00

Decisions

Do you see what I see?

If only you could see!

The wonder of what changes has brought.

My mind works differently from what my eyes see!

Do you make the choices, but which decision is final?

If I ponder what my subconscious tells me, the outcome is the opposite!

I make the decisions, but it is evident of the results.

Is it wrong to make a decision…then change your mind?

Is the first decision the real one to make?

There is where the decision-making becomes that challenge!

Your decision is irreversible!

Be careful of the final decision you choose!

What decision you make does not necessarily mean that is your intended outcome!

Nothing appears tomorrow

2009-08-04T12:02:00.002-04:00

If nothing appears tomorrow, what will happen yesterday?

If The sun rises beyond the mist skies,and dawn arrives,but the day doesn't exist what appears to be...

God woke you up in the clear sky, the white transparent clouds,and nothing appears tomorrow!

Hiddening behind God's creation is a creature of disguise,a mysterious and adventurous creature...lonely he stands looking around...no food, no water!

The abonded creature yearns for help,but you see this adventurous creature lives in the wild and is endangered.

Nothing appears tomorrow with no land, no cars,pure silence!

The buildings are gone, the air is filled with heat, the smoke still lingers,but nothing appears tomorrow!

Its a sad reminder the of what the our planet would look like if we don't start to take care of it!

The grass,trees,and everything thats green turns brown,young children in third-world countries are dying, heat is plagues us evry summer,and we sit as a nation in disbelief...

wisdom, knowledge of God's world,and what its becoming,if nothing is done soon...Nothing appears tomorrow as it is here today!

Facing the unexpected

2009-08-04T11:51:00.003-04:00

In the days that I sit and anticipate,

The uncertain and nervous feeling of a result...

waiting 2 weeks, 3 weeks, finally the results come and before the letter is opened you realize...

WHAT IF...WHAT NEXT...races through your mind and heart!

subconciously your excited,but nervous simotaneously!

Then a rush comes across your precense undescribable and unexplainable...

All you see and hear is a blur...Facing the unexpected and expecting nothing be candid outlook!

Either way you have a mind-set of what is what!

Face the unexpected and in return be witty to the outcome :)

Face the unexpected and expect positive results

The unexpected will surprise those who are not looking for what their minds' already told them!

A little one

2009-05-21T16:45:00.002-04:00

AS she came into this world,she smiled.

Her Indian-like hair,her carmel complexion ;she's sweet as an apple,Which is was given her nickname!

She is tiny,but she brings those around her much closer;her tiny hands resemble that of her learning process.

Everything she touches she learns its purpose,her tiny her feet,with her five toes on each.

She babbles her loved ones names...eyes that could light up the world...dark brown with a special sparkle.

Her tiny ears listens to the voices of those around her.

As she tries to walk,she knows and understands what her life is surround by.

Two little pegs(teeth)she eats as if she was an adult!

Cute and chuncky,but sweet as an apple when its ripe.

She stands at 38 inches tall...she's the new addition to my nieces :D

Two roads; 1 obstacle

2009-05-08T17:44:00.005-04:00

There are times when we wanted to give up in the middle,

The times when faced between you and the undefeated,

The obstacle was like a dream that we never would come out of!

Then there was something, unusual...like the dream you had

The obstacle that many thought could and would never be seen.

Yet, here lies ahead two roads one you could touch the lives of many,and the other...

well, lets say it just happened to fall into your hands!

The road you dreamed of all your life over the one you just discovered...the one that many see a sucessful career for you!

which road do you choose?

Although you want to walk down both roads, cross both bridges,sometimes that decision is not easy!

Then in the middle of the road, an ending of something you started ,and intend to complete

You have to make an important decision,as much as you tried you can't seem to get away from it!!

Not knowing that you are prepared and ready to face the obstacle...Are You ?

Ready or not Overcoming Obstacle 1, the quest that you fought most hard, the one that you are determined to finish =D

Still uncertain of the two most vivid and intresting roads, what happens when...

When you cover up the obstacle as if it didn't exsist, you can't help to ovecome obstacle 1 .

peaceful power

2009-04-28T18:06:00.004-04:00

If the world was as peaceful as a cool wind breeze.

showing no visible precense,but there it is...

Fierce of a fire,but a peaceful power!

cool as the spring day that we awake to on somedays.

March,April,May ,and June masking the fight of a sad day.

Hot and humid heat,but yet a peaceful power of God's creations.

days breaks,and sun plays peek-a-boo with the clouds

As the day grows older the peaceful power is still around.

Looking on to see when it would be played with like the toy of a child.

silent is it...whispers,and has yet to make a sound because it carries a peaceful power that makes not a sound.

Standing Tall

2009-04-24T17:54:00.001-04:00

look ahead what is there?

The shadow of guidance...

walking down the weary road

uncertain of the next corner to come,yet standing tall with the posture high,and a grateful smile upon her face.

The risk-taking a person can do, the chances she face, the hurt and pain she knows of a dream,not becoming reality...

She stands tall and embraces what comes her way!

Standing Tall shows you have courage,bravery,and agility to take whatever comes your way!

Fear is no option ,and obstacles are blind, patience makes the challenge a infinite possiblity,but...

Standing Tall makes you inferior,wise,and powerful...thats what a person who has overcomed many things ideally presents to those among...that walks near !

So Standing Tall and giving everything your all makes you a better person when you fight and never show a down fall,not proving to others ,but proving to yourself..

You are...

You have...

You will...

STAND TALL !!!

Material vs. People

2009-04-21T18:02:00.003-04:00

Eric Hoffer:
You can never get enough of what you don't need to make you happy.

The time I spend with my family and friends will have a lifetime of memories.

These people cannot be replaced and neither can I.

If I fall between the two cracked roads that I am brought to an dead-end,then my money,and materialized items are not going to be around.

Material is temprorary,friends,family,and people you most care about are shared for life!

Today If a natural disater was to occur my most prized possesions would be gone,and honestly I could care less,Yes I would be sad,but those "THINGS" are not my family and friends and cannot be replaced!

The Thought of losing someone vs. a item...there's no camparison

My hats, my CDs', my selena memorbilia, my Jennifer Lopez items,that would hurt down in my soul and across the river of the nile,but my family and friends are more precious than GOLD !

Change is not difficult!

2009-04-07T18:40:00.006-04:00

If today is disappearing,and tomorrow is approaching,then what does next week bring?
CHANGE

If the next day, you wake and things are not the same then what occurs,when you stood your ground, held your head,and fight like there's no tomorrow?

Change is here or is slowly coming your way!

Not a noble occurance in a time of uncertainty,but change is not difficult,nor does it require much effort.

Do not make change a difficult decision,yet it is just a mere obstacle in your life that must be hurdled!

Infinte possiblities, change is among them,and therefore, we must not fear the change that comes our way,yet we must embrace it!

Often it becomes a frightening circumstance that makes a person, question is change a good thing?

thats how we go about life...CHANGE!!!!!!!

CHANGE IS NOT DIFFICULT....

CHANGE IS ALWAYS GOOD :)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Epilepsy: getting the word out!

2009-03-23T14:41:00.005-04:00

Hey friends,

Many of you have heard or seizures right?...well this is also known as Epilepsy!

EPILEPSY IS A NEUROLOGICAL DISORDER CHARACTERIZED BY LOSS OF CONSCIOUSNESS AND CONVULSIONS DUE TO ABNORMAL ELECTRICAL ACTIVITY IN THE BRAIN. I'm an advocate for people with epilepsy...I too have this brain disorder,and I would love for my readers to get this message out,so hopefully one day we can find a cure! If you know of a family or friend that has this condition(please share) !!!

Don't take-on more than you can handle!

2009-03-04T16:44:00.004-05:00

If this can be any advice to anyone,even the smallest person of our planet. There can be times when your a stress level rises more than usual.

As I am completing my last three semesters-I find myself becoming stressed. I tend to stray away from getting my hands tied to the point where there is no stress being involved in my domain of a daily routine,yet I realized that maybe stress isn't so bad after all,or is it?

I have come to realize without actually realizing...that if you take on more than you can handle you tend to be more stressed.

I try keep myself occuppied outside of the norm "schol," which is my normal routine!

Like to keep busy,but then again if I become too busy I tend to get stressed!...Ironic ...HUH?

I guess when you ask for more you get more,and then when you recieve you tend to not want what you had before anymore!

Needless to say, my time spent at school is worthwhile,yet I'm content to say that I have been recently exposed to the real-world,and it can be very stressful.

So, with that said my lesson I take with this current issue i'm facing at hand is "Don't take on more tahn you can handle".

Judge me,no more!

2009-02-25T10:06:00.003-05:00

Many people think they know me!

And,they judge me...

The only way they know how to...

They redicle my possibilities.

If Life has taught me anything is to never under estimate anyone!

The breaking of a new beginning...Judge me no more!

The strangers wonder why the way I am...hostile and defensive!

Their negativity of me makes me stronger,but they think they know me !

Maybe of what I see, Who I am,and What is to come...they judge me !

Judge me no because the envious behavior that you try to hide I can see!

The greatness I have and you have are that of two different people!

The difference between what judgements are made of me is because God has presented my gifts to me!

How I reach the star,that takes the challenge of a better woman!

wise, gentle,creative mind...succeding one day at a time...Judge me no more!

When I reach for that shinning star...I have accomplished my apirations of my life!

There is one problem...Your judgements are only the inspirations to my sucess,so keep judging,but judge where I've come to where I am going!

Judge me...no more...for like the people who care...I will be standing near not to judge you,but to reward you!

sucess is not difficult

2009-02-20T12:56:00.003-05:00

Dear I must tell you,

I wonder sometimes passing the rough roads!

Taking the next corner with an uncertain attitude.

You never know what's ahead!

But, I can tell you...sucess...its not difficult!

If every man or woman, child,or race gave up we wouldn't be standing where we are today!

I must tell you,today it has obstacles and hardship!

Tomorrow is another day full of adventures and a new idea is being presented!

Next week...well that's going to come soon!

Although we mumble, groan,and sigh...uggggh...sucess is not difficult!

If anything its the impossible that gets those feet of yours moving, the hands you have clapping,and the yeeeeeaaaahhhh shouting!

whoever said sucess is difficult doesn't like a challenge,and dislikes been challenged!

Sucess is your key to the future you plan ahead!

Oh...what a great opportunity...to hold your head up high and say "SUCESS IS NOT DIFFICULT"

Today was different than yesterday

2009-02-16T17:24:00.006-05:00

Today I went about my normal day...everything seemed fine!

Today I went to class a little off,yet I didn't think nothing of it!

well...its monday and the start to a new week...so what's going to change?

The same routine just about everyday!

Yet,Today was different than yesterday!!!

As I gathered my belongings...I didn't know why I felt the way I did!

I was unusually quiet...not my usual spontaneous,upbeat attitude.

Then as I walked my way to grab a bite to eat I came upon some people that I knew on campus...

As I looked into their Eyes I could see something wasn't right,but I didn't think anything of it!

I said "hey what's up"? ...like I usually do

unlike yesterday,today was much more different...I see through their eyes...hurt,sadness,and many other signs of grieveness!

before I could open my mouth to ask what was wrong...someone asked "Did you hear"?

Out of curosity,I asked "what"?

someone who I knew and spoke to occasinally had passed...I asked "how"?

"When"?,friday(February 13) the person responed...the man whohad a gentle deminor,calm personality ...the person who had always had a joke or two...DIED by a car been drivin by a person who had not noticed the man crossing the street!

Not the type of news I wanted to hear coming back to classes after a weekend full of fun...destroyed by a week now turned sour like a stale candy...how do you cope with not knowing someone for very long,yet feeling like you've known them for a lifetime?

TODAY WAS DIFERENT FROM YESTERDAY...AS i FIND THAT A PERSON YOU'VE ONLY KNOWN FOR A MOMENT CAN FEEL LIKE YOU'VE KNOWN THEM FOR LIFETIME!

Educate to Work

2009-02-13T14:18:00.003-05:00

I have never been exposed to the workng field,yet I have much accomplished a goal and obstacle I had the courage to tackle. 2 summers ago, I enrolled in general education class-The fundamentals of Public Speaking;a typical requirement of an Associates in Arts Degree.In this course we were taught how to speak publicly,professionally,and how to do a job interview.This class was a six weeks course.It was a challenge alone to take a 6-weeks course,espically in college.

At the end of the course I came out with a "B" average,but this class taught me a more valuable lesson to be learned...How to do a job Interview.

I have Never worked before with the exception of volunteering...Never!

So,with the knowledge I gained from this class that stuck with me like glue...a year and a half later I took a workshop on my campus,and then I started searching for a job,and a couple of months of searching I found a job on campus,an in one of two of my favorite departments on campus( English and College Prep),I was offered a position as a receptionist in the english department were I currently work until I'm scheduled to complete my four-years at Miami Dade College at the end of this year.

I have been able to apply my knowledge from my classes into the working field.

What If the day is gone?

2009-01-30T08:27:00.003-05:00

In the mist of the sunlight

I was blinded by the sight of the golden rime of the sun.

as if it shined with a smile on its face!

Could this be the day cease to never end?

When God smiles and say"the day is just memory of what tomorrow will bring".

Although I silently create that "what If" factor

What if the day is gone?

What will happen to the sun that shines so brightly in my eyes?

When it goes down to rest its head will tomorrow do the same?

What if the day is gone?

When the troubles of the earth comes to an end,and the rivers stop flowing down the embankment.

Who will shelter the rivers, tree,and all of God's creative nature?

What if the day is gone?

suppose tomorrow is far,but very close,and i desire more ?

Will the stars shine its light on me,and others ?

If anything does the day cease...what if the day is gone?...what happens then?

Enriching the lives of many

When I started this Blog Last Year, I had no knowledge that MY poetry would inspire others; From Previous Professors,friends, to total strangers that i have come in contact with :).

Many Of these People , espically my friends never knew that I write Poetry and some occasional editorials. And, to be honest i didn't think I had it in myself!

Many of the readers who come to my blog always has a positive comment,and tell of my inspirational poems.

I am so greatful, to have readers like that :)

Overall their mesage to me is Keep writing and inspiring others.You don't know how much that means to me !

Busy Days!!!

The Classroom Years; the semesters in College

2009-01-16T14:23:00.007-05:00

As I walk up the 3 flight stairs filled with dirt& Grime...my shoes creap, I step...slowly one after another.

Finally as i reach the stairs top,I gasp for some air,feeling like I hiked upon a mountain.

I turn my usual way to attend my class that I have been assigned...in my head, I wonder " What does My Professor look like?,How is the class going to be?"...

I picture the Longer-term Goal...hearing :"your finished with classes,I wish you the best of luck in the future"!

I finally arrive to the assigned class...the black door I face...turning the handle of what is to come inside,I wonder what is instore.

I walk in to find the room lights are "OFF",then turning on the lights...

I walk to the center...to the desk,but which one to choose from?...I just choose one and sit!

I wait...and wait and wait... the room is blank with me just sitting in front!

Finally a student comes in with his headphones on...bobbing his head to the music in his ears,then he sits down at another desk in the back of the room!

Then another student walks in and soon thereafter,another and another...until finally the Professor walks in with A calm,yet Aprehensive look on their face!

Good_morning, replying "Good Morning" I say in a calm & Timid Voice,so the Professor won't hear me ...Nervous I am as this is My first Day of My third Semester...still kind of a New-Be!

It appears They look Prepared...As this is my Professor for the next couple of months...They take roll& make sure everyone is in the right place!

I wait to be called upon...as unusual; the Professor pronounces my right!

I look forward to everytime of the semester...New classes, New Professors !

A NEW BEGINNING...ITS LIKE STARTING COLLEGE ALL OVER AGAIN EACH SEMESTER!!!

persistance pays off!!

2009-01-16T14:17:00.004-05:00

Did you ever want something so bad,you worked harder than ever before?

Did you struggle to prove something?

How tedious and overwhelming that somethin was?

Well...pesistance pays off!

Sure...you certain that whatever it was was just going to be right for you!

When you sit-back,relax,and just questioned what ,why,and how ?

The answer is Persistance pays off!!

If you Nagg at yourself, pushing yourself making things seem inpossible what happens in the end?

Persistance pays off!

Just keep trying...in the end it will all make perfect sense...why things happened the way they did,and for the purposes it happened!

Please take the time out to sign my guestbook at the very bottom !

Thank You for stopping by :D

Among them are

2009-01-08T13:53:00.002-05:00

The creatures who stare...

The Joker...The seriousness

Among them are those who mock,and redicule

Did anything bring you here?

These days I stop thinking of why you stare!

Among them are...The one's who don't even bother you unless they want something!

Among them are those who think that know everything,but know nothing!

However, There are some among who love just for you and decides to acknowledge your presence!

Among them are those who pay attention to what you want,then there are those who shine,and wake-up to reality later in life !

I only hope those who don't take the time out...remember your going to need the person you ignored,depended on another day ,and they won't be there!

kindness

2009-01-08T13:46:00.002-05:00

Kindness

When we start to be the insensitive,pessimistic,shallow person?

How do we know if anyone has the kindness in their hearts?

Many are to self-obtained, to cherish kindness anymore!

For every person that walks by,and I see a frown it makes me wonder!

The Kindness that faded ...where is it?

Yes, we have problems...who doesn't?

Yes,some of us burden ourselves with pessimistic thoughts!

But, WHY?... where has the kindness in one's heart gone?

Not enough of it here...it lingers no more ...like the sweet sent from a fragerence!

Kindness...no more ?!

What's next?...

Wherever you go...

2009-01-07T15:19:00.003-05:00

The sun shines right infront of you,and I'm surprised i'm not blinded!

The one who cares so deeply,passionately...shares only a piece of their heart!

Wherever you go...I know i will always be beside you!

Whatever road life takes you on,wherever you go, I'll stand beside you!

The inevitable...Keeps getting better...I am your friend until the end.

Many are oblivous...and then there are some who know the obvious!

Wherever you go, I'll be in the world that is perfect for what its made of!

Longing for the day when reality comes around...just know...wherever you are...i'm not far!

Wherever you go I'll keep your special friendship grounded and appericate what is...

Wherever you go...just know you'll always have a piece of my heart!

New Year,New experiences

Imperfection

2008-12-10T08:29:00.003-05:00

Imperfection

Imperfection is my beauty!

What I am, What I have become.

Imperfection is the word that cannot hide!

If I pretend that I am something,I am really not...Then I have become a falsificatiion of who I really want people to see.

Imperfection,that's me!

If I were perfect,then I would be untrue to my soul.

Imperfection has no boundry!

It notices you for the person that makes mistakes,fall down,and has obstacles!

It's not prejudice towards ethicnicity ,or physical features!

Imperfection,is what I am !

Needless to say...my inperfection is why people apperciate me !!

Making the most

2008-11-24T15:15:00.007-05:00

If I leave you behind...

Will you follow ?

If you hurt me, would you even care ?

While i'm here, don't waste away!

Making the most of the time i spend with you!

Tomorrow is almost near,but what if it never comes?

What if today was my last day?

Who knows if I leave saying good-bye...I utter no word

Making most of what is here and now.

The time I share with you is precious,so...

Making the most of why i showed up in your life!

I could be here today,but gone tomorrow!

Reality is:Make the most of what or who you have!!!

There's no guarentee that there's another day to see me.

There's no guarentee that there will be a second chance

Make the most of what or who is present in your life !

what breaks you,makes you stronger

2008-11-13T15:07:00.007-05:00

After reading a piece from "fearlessblog",i was inspired to write a piece.If life can't teach you anything...there's one thing you can be taught,and that is what breaks you only makes you a stronger person. Once you've surpassed the expectations and obstacles that life throughs down your path.

The only way to make be an elite is to first believe...then once you believe in yourself,and not give-up to easy,then you can take one step at a time,and whatever you want to accomplish,then with motivation,and possibly a miracle all will happen when its supposed to happen.

With that said " what breaks you cannot hurt you,it only makes you stronger"

Giving your all

2008-11-11T14:07:00.005-05:00

What happens when you've gave your all?

Chasing the obstacle you can't seem to break...

You have tried trial & error...

just going with the flow,and meanwhile trying...

To make the impossible possible!!!

The obstacle will not budge ...

preventing you to achieve...

Go around it, go through it? what ?

No, Giving it your all and leaving it!

Giving it your all may not be enough !!!

At least you've tried!!!

Never give up part :2 ( key to sucess)

2008-10-31T14:35:00.000-04:00

Never Give up !!!

As we walk along this path...

They stare, talk,and make weird faces!

unbeknowngly, they realize what has become of you!

Tedious life, having no regrets,each day that passes!

Never give up!!!

People talk and make assumptions,but what they don't know is how powerful your mentality is.

Gifted in our own ways, the foundation to growth & maturity is to hurt and learn from the mistakes,but to never give up!

Living the life you have now is the greatest reward that the higher power has given you!

Never giving up & standing your ground with you feet firmly planted on solid ground.

They key to what will be accomplished is that of a person who never gives up !

Amendment 8

2008-10-29T15:15:00.009-04:00

I rarely talk about politics,or anything dealing with politics outside of the home,but for this moment,year,and election the only time i will probably mention about politics is through ammendemt 8.

As a Local College Student, I intend to hopfully get others to vote for ammendemnt 8 If passed, Amendment 8 creates a process for local communities to impact the future of their community colleges. Supporting Amendment 8 won’t cost voters a cent.Amendment 8 offers a practical and positive solution: Let local communities decide by referendum how to support community colleges.

Voters to decide on Amendment 8

Thank you in advance

Fearless : part II

2008-10-29T14:50:00.003-04:00

This word "Fearless", lately as become apart of what people call me, My mentor( Mrs.Cueto), My Best-Friend(s),and i continue to wonder why do they call me fearless?
I simply cannot see what others see in me ? I must be doing something right because when i conversate with someone close ,or even a motivation factor, this word seems to show-up, in their vocabulary...at least when they are around me !

If anything, I try to embrace it,and apperciate it;I asked my friend "why do you call me "fearless"?, with such an obvious answer she said"just because that's who you are"! I have yet, to ask mrs.Cueto,and i'm sure it would be the same response!
According to my knowledge and my definition "Fearless" means," Someone who is not afraid of anything"

Maybe i don't realize how others see me,or i'm blind to the fact becuse without knowningly, i step on the challenges i face...I guess because they don't exsist to me,as they do to many people.

Have you ever been called a word that defines who you are?
Not to mention, that's not the only word that is inspirational that many have called me ! I can only hope i live the rest of my life that way!

crossing barriers...

2008-10-24T08:44:00.011-04:00

"It takes a little courage, and a little self -- control. And some grim determination, If you want to reach the goal. It takes a deal of striving, and a firm and stern-set chin. No matter what the battle, If you really want to win. There's no easy path to glory, There's no road to fame. Life, however we may view it, Is no simple parlor game; But it's prizes call for fighting, For endurance and for grit; For a rugged disposition and don't know when to quit".
Unknown Source

As a child, not being able to do anything for herself, many people doubted what i am capable of , my expectation,and what i can,or cannot accomplish!

I have had many people underestimate my ability to do something. Everytime i personally doubt myself; In retrospect, I look what i've accomplish,and how many timesi've heard,oh she couldn't pull that off! to the point where its like an fly nagging in your ears! For everyone who knows my story & what i've been through just as an infant into a child. Now,i take a step back everytime i'm in distress and i say to myself, "Yasmin, you have crossed too many barriers ...to many people take one look and make assumptions,but as an adult now, you mustprove to no one,but yourself, what you CAN do"!

As easy as it sounds,believe me its not! There are many times i confide in others besides family that can get me to the point that i believe with all my might that i can do something without struggling!

Needless to say, I have my family aleays there giving me stories, of my childhood,and sharing the strengths I have to make everything that's a challenge seem as if its nothing.
There's not a day that doesn't go by that makes it worth while to fight for what i believe is a challenge,and occassionally, if a teacher/professor takes the time to catch up with what has been good in mylife, they tend to also say"you can crosss barriers because i've seen you do it before" there's nothing that stop me now ! LOL!!

Going with the flow

2008-10-24T08:31:00.003-04:00

Many times my personality gets in the way of my social life, i have my friends in which i coomunicate with;however, when it comes to personality,and otherwise i'm the type of person that goes with flow.
Going with flow can often affect your ablities to have a dynamic life.
Often i regret being the the type of person that just doesn't really speak for my myself,and in the past i have been because of my going with the flow nature,but i have always been that way,from a child,until now as an young adult.

The times have change and many tell me, oh how they love my personality ,and how my personality keeps me grounded.
Now, don't get me wrong, i love who i am ,and who i have become,but there are times i wish i was more out-spoken,and out-going than most people.

I share to inspire those who just are a go with the flow , type of person to have a voice,and never shy away from being out-spoken!!!!

At least each day, i learn more about me being out-spoken ,or not being enough!

sorry for in convince

2008-10-20T15:48:00.005-04:00

Iam unfortunately busy with school,so forgive for not writing as much poetry as usual! My college education requires most of my time .

Jennifer Lopez

2008-10-20T15:09:00.002-04:00

Many Know Jennfier Lopez as The Talented actress,in her break-out role of "SELENA",yet Crazy latina that Married three times ,and caused both contraversy and other attention-getting habits,for me she is one of my role models.Maybe its her vivacious lifestyle,maybe its her talented acting skills,but for me she is a person who dreamed big dreams ,and through dedication and hard work she was able to become a mega-superstar.

I believe that she knew what she wanted in life and just never stopped until she was able to accomplish her goal.I see that as a role model ,and like selena she didn't allow people to break her down.

That's why she is a role model to me!

Fearless

2008-10-17T14:02:00.003-04:00

Note: To my family & close friends,and teachers who believed in me this is dedicated to you !

Fearless

A guide to being fearless is to be open-minded.

Fearless, there is no such word that exist.

If you fear, then why even try anything new?

If you fear, when do you have time to achieve?

Fearless

Giving yourself a chance…

Go into the obstacle, ready to fight!

Leave a winner!

Face the enemy of what stops you!

Fearless, that’s who you are!

Fight for what you want, fight for the courage in existence.

Un-real, you say? Impossible, NEVER!

Fearless is who you are!

Fearless

At every road and bridge that life nags you with,

Do you fear?...No, Yes…

Did you ever think that the things in life that made you better?

The results were you are a Fearless person.

Fearless

So don’t fear anything, be the fearless person that you are, bring the Fearless person out!

What does the future hold?

2008-10-13T14:44:00.005-04:00

The picture i hold in my mind is a victorious one...

I hold the key to my future.

I hold what i think will be my future!

Although i underestimate what i sometimes can accomplish,

I hold the key to where i am going?

No, i can't see what's going to happen in 5 ,10 ,15 years.

But, i do know where my path is headed and what i see as a better day.

I cherish my present,and can't wait to see how bright the future will be.

I can only imagine what my future house,family,and children will become.

I antcipate where life is going take me and in what directions.

What does the future hold ?...I don't know ,but i know its going to be bright like the shining light.

finding who you are....

2008-10-07T15:28:00.003-04:00

The life that has been given to you; do you question it?

The people in your life ,Do you question their existence?

Do you you question yourself?...i'm sure everyday!

For some it takes a life's century,for others it takes an experience.

How do you "Find yourself"?

The unthinkable things can make you discover who you are as a person.

Why do want to find who you are?

What will it take for you to realize, who you are is what has made you.

Finding who you are, if you don't really know comes from...

The experiences you've come through

The challenges you face ahead...

The people around you...

The mind, body and soul.

So, finding who you are is not that complicated, it's actually simple.

We learn something new of ourselves everyday...

Not by chance,but my destiny ,and courage to face the unthinkable.

When you find yourself, your that much richer in life because you know who you are.

Now, I know sometimes you may not find an ounce of who you are, in reality you are,but you just don't know it :D!!!!!!

change,for no one

2008-10-06T14:24:00.006-04:00

If the true meaning of who we really are gives us the power to get motivated,then life would be less complicated.I was speaking with a friend one day,and she told me something that i often hear people say to me..."Change for no one".

I stay true to who i am and i sometimes have to catch myself in the way i react,or say something.Many people know me as a humble, caring person;in which i am 80-95% of the time that i have been here alive...I had to complete a self-performance activity a couple of semesters ago ...which i had to do for my psychology class. I found that assignment very intresting because i was able to hear nothing,but the TRUTH from which i surveyed on my family & friends on "why they were my friends and /or why they loved me"?...Of course i told them to be truthful,but never did i imagine how such a positive response i got even from my FAMILY MEMBER( who lives with me and see everything i've gone through)!!!;Needless to say, I was shocked and filled with humbleness...
The response that i got was "change for no one",and why they loved me or why they are my friend was because i am an Honest, caring ,sincere,mother-like positive, understanding,kind-hearted person...Just to name a few!

Now, this was coming out of their OWN mouths,i didn't tell them what to say...Everytime i think of something when i am down & sad, i remember that assignment & what my friends and family told me. So, I realized how important that quote is to me because they love me for who i am and i'm proud to say i returned that love and apperciation back at them, telling them what i think of them.

Why do you love your family or friends ? care to share?...

For every moment

2008-10-01T15:19:00.003-04:00

Tomorrow is no guarentee,

If you wake up we must count our blessings

If you dream of what's next...don't!

I sleep with my eyes wide open...

I submerge myself in the simple things.

For every moment...we must be grateful

If tomorrow doesn't come for you,then what will you say.

If I live each day, Say "I LOVE YOU" to each person that means the world to me...

I can not say if 5:00 to night i will see, For every moment there is no guarntee.

For every moment, I do what is possible,and leave the rest to be waited upon.

For everymoment, I see the ones i love & the people who love me: i apperciate them that much more.

For every moment my life has a meaning & I enjoy what is bestowed upon me.

I try not to complain, nagg,or beg because forevery moment there is someone worst off then me.

If I see later, tomorrow,or next week i'm grateful,but next year i'm uncertain.

If i let those who treat me with respect know i am forever ...happy.

I am an ethical person...at least i try to be...I have things that mean simple.

For every moment, I walk ,talk,see,or hear i'm thankful.

For everyone who i come in contact with i treat them with gratitude ( good or bad) as they may be.

To the professors whom i have had in the past and those who i have yet to have; every moment i'm learning something new.

To everyone every moment is simply magnifcient :there's no doubt we live life to make ourselves happy.

Every moment is just a step away...Leaving us to wonder what is here ,and can be changed ?

a life to live

2008-09-25T09:34:00.005-04:00

I've only witnessed life for 22 yrs,but from what obstacles have been presented to me; the dynamics of my life has given me a reality check on where life can bring you...from your silent days to the days the "impossible was possible.

A Life to live

For every obstacle you've faced...

If every person could feel the way you do...

invisible is the way some witness your precense

Come & walk the journey that God's given you;

A life to live

There is no time to be wasted !

A life to live... The day will be a dream come true

If a person can step in your shoes.

A life to live is where you stand & when ALL is said & done god blessed us in many ways we can't imagine.

God made me

2008-09-10T13:41:00.003-04:00

Who are you to mock me ?

Who are you to hurt me ?

Why is it when you see me you are afraid?

I am different because God made me!

You see me pass you by,yet you wonder why I don’t talk or even say hi .

Your impression of me is that of a typical human being .

You stare at me as if I was a grotesque person.

God made me.

So What if I can’t see, hear, walk or learn as fast as you can?

Just because of my discrepancies, you wont change me into something I am not!

You see I may be a little different, but no more different than the person next to you or behind is different.

God made me.

If you cannot accept me for who I am, then just make sure you respect me just because I am someone’s friend.

Change

2008-09-10T13:38:00.003-04:00

"change is good"

what is change?

Change...is a word that signifies alot!

Keeping change in mind,helps us...

Do we fear change?...No we embrace it!

The Fighter

2008-09-04T15:07:00.004-04:00

The Fighter

What makes You a fighter?

The will to never give up ...

The person that is in you...

If everyone could be a fighter...

I fear nothing, is what echoed...

If i doubt myself, how does it make me stronger?

Making the Impossible,possible...

Showing myself i can suceed...

The Fighter, thats who you are!

Powered by motivation,taking the hurdles throwing them away!

Going beyond what is expected, trying the best i can !

The fighter is who i want ,so i can...

Make the best of what is believed of me ...

Nothing can stop me because I am...

The Fighter !!!

The wind paradise

2008-08-25T09:40:00.004-04:00

The wind whispers....

Listen to it carefully...do you hear it?

It smiles when your quiet,its calm and soothing!

The wind blows pass me ...I can feel,hear,and see the angels smiling.

The wind is my guardian of meditation,If the wind blows heavy;it becomes too noisy!

But wait...shhhhhh....there it goes again...

The stress-reliever its rough when passing to quickly,the wind is sending me a message...AHHHHH...

The wind gives me peace and clarity...

If I close my eyes it brushes across my face,so deligently,my mind forgets what i'm thinking.

As i open my hands;the wind moves my hands and clothing like a child playing rough with a toy.

The air so clear, i could see the sunshine hiding behind the fluffy clouds as the wind gives way to the insightful beautiful sky...

It smells like clean pure water,my feet wet with a grainy feeling

Once i've opened my eyes I realized i'm not home!

Where am I standing...In Paradise!

I have no clue what brought me to this point,but the wind gave me gidence,and shifted my mind,body,and soul into a calm & relaxing enviroment.

After this traveling i'm in a place i call: wind Paradise !!

Selena: Why I admire her;Her last spoken Video

2008-07-30T15:50:00.004-04:00

There are Famous people many of us can relate to , I'm of Hispanic descendent...I'm Extremely proud to be! I never really got to know that side of me until I was 11 years old.I discovered my roots by watching a movie called "SELENA". Everyone who knows me personally can tell you I admire & respect the Tejano singer in which I have become a huge fan of ,not to mention Jennifer Lopez, who i also admire.I wanted to share with you the reason I admire Selena so much;She is the Epitome of a Superstar who stayed true her roots,and her Family, friends,and fans although famous & in the spotlight. She always gave back to the community,and never shyed away from signing autographs ...I could go on and on about her!! Need I say more most Importantly she stayed true to herself.This video in which i'm about to share with you is the Last Video selena talked on ...Sang on...This is Selena Who she was when OFF stage ,and at home :)

I believe in my heart is the reason so many fans adored her just because she was a humble person.There are not many stars that are that geuine and Vivacious 24/7,and Those are some reasons why I admire her . I never met her,but I love she was as a person,and we need more celebrities like her for our youth.

what are "friends"

2008-07-28T11:39:00.005-04:00

I have associates, good people,close friends, then there are "Friends"...

You may define a "Friend" differently: someone who's constantly by your side in times of need,or perhaps they are just a person whom you have a descent conversation with?My defintion, well it's complicated I've had my Up's & down's with the people I call "friends". Need I not mention the word betrayal.
I'm the type of person who loves to meet new people ,and enjoy those who take the time to care for others...that's me !!
But, I've learned not to " trust someone to fast" because of the betrayal one can recieve in the end.
During my adolescent years, I was introduced to numerous people, some of them who remained my "close friends" till this day,yet some who ultimately took advantage of me,but I realized the hard way how someone you barely know can show their"true colors",and ultimately betray you;needless to say today, i choose my friends "very wisely and carefully" Today, i stay to myself,but I only have a hand-full of friends.
I learned who my "REAL" friends are,and there are times I even doubt someone... I kind of test the waters,but i think the key to my unsucessful friendships during my school-years is the fact that i'm too "easy-going and Nice" at least that what my friends say...I've been taken advantage of to many times ... and i've learned my lesson "the Hard-Way".
If there was a time-machine, to back in time i would change the way people took advantage of me; the reality is i can't ,and i hurt when it has been done, I have a caring ,sensitive heart and soul,and i believe that's why things happen the way that they do... especially with "friends"!!!!!

Mgs: Choose your friends wisely,never underestimate a person!

The greatest reward in life

2008-07-21T13:49:00.003-04:00

The Greatest reward in life is being you .

The gretest reward in life is accepting your flaws

You have accomplished much......

You will suceed in your failures...

The greatest reward in life is doing what's best for you.

The mind gets stronger,the heart grows fonder...

The greatest reward in life is believing in yourself

The greatest reward is accomplishing your dreams

Doing the right thing,making paves for those who come after

The greastest reward is you...being you!

If you can't accept yourself,then who will?

Negitvity is bestowed within,but if you clean out the impossible

Your reality of negativity becomes a reality of the positivity in your life

No obstacle to too hard to overcome

No fear is too difficult to face and change

If anything is possible,then the greatest reward in life is...

YOU ACCEPTING...YOU!!

Today,Tomorrow,and Questions

2008-07-16T14:08:00.006-04:00

Today...Is here

Tomorrow... may not exist

Yesturday ... Is gone

I often wonder what is...Why things happen the way they do ?

I alway question... asking why?

The way things work...Do the lessons being taught make any use in the future?

Today, i see a person ,but tomorrow who know what's to come?

Today, the reality sets-in what if...?

There are possiblities, making me wonder about what life means and where its' goin to take me.

When I ask my questions, I learn ,but any professor who has had me can tell you i ask questions!

I do the best for today ,but cautiously wait for the answer to my questions.

Who knows what's going to happen tomorrow , i can only see what's going to happen this MOMENT,or TODAY !!

I sit and i often wonder where my answers are going to take me ? ...

I see the present & i anticipate the future,my questions often give a sense of why i make thedecisions that I do .

I dream ... Of a goal

2008-07-09T14:36:00.005-04:00

Dear I dream,For a better tomorrow...when Mathematics will no longer exist!

I Dream for what I believe is rewarding for me...

Do you know how far a dream can take you?

Looking in... i watch the numbers,and i doubt myself...

I think of how many steps it will take for my goal to be reached!

I stare hard and evil at an equation ,and i say to myself...

I'm going to solve you until dusk has rised, until the moon comes down

I dream of why it was placed in my hands?

But, I keep noticing the same formula pops-up

Numbers...Yuck, we deal with it everyday ,but its a challenge for me to face something so difficult.

In the end, I dream when math is my reward & is understood in my way,or like English !...EASY

simplicity

2008-07-03T15:16:00.005-04:00

Life, its so short...in the blink of an eye a person,or something that means a great deal to you can perish. During 9/11 I'm certain that's what most Americans felt. This unique place we call home. If anything has shown me what's most important to me with a wake up call,its 9/11;as well as the 4th of July.

I've learned that we must enjoy simplicity;the friends,family,co-workers,and how we deal with a situation;that's what mostly important...right? Sometimes we are tempted into the materialistic items,but we must realize its the simple things that count.
If its not self evident already ,sometimes it takes a while to fully understand the simple joys of life. Now, I must admit;i too do enjoy materalistic items,but then again i enjoy just being around my family & close friends! You may say i'm kind of a neird to even enjoy being around my Professors,but you can blame that on my mom! LOL! Whenever i Introduce my mom to my teachers,or professors;they have and still are always commenting on how "Excellent a student", I am. Indeed i'm very quiet and Humbled when they say rhose comments.
At least, my mom knows when she sends me off;I have a sense of stablity and simplicity to be around. I only do what i know, yet sometimes i have a hard time accepting the truth of the simple things always requesting for more.
In the end, When i go home, Its the simple matters that count to me : Listening to selena & J.lo while retaining some knowledge and being around my incredible family,but waking up to a better tomorrow.

Jamaica: the Memories & beauty

2008-07-02T11:54:00.017-04:00

The small Island,so rich in culture, beautiful in sight.
When i was younger i used to visit an Island every summer;known for its Relaxing & Romantic Beaches,Coconut water, White Rum,and Vivacious Music called Reggae.
I wasn't born there,but part of my family comes from this beautiful Island called: Jamaica.
These are some photos of my favorite place Montego Bayin Jamaica these are not my photos,but These beaches are exactly how they look in Jamaica: Enjoy !

I used to spend my summers-off here and stay w/ family I haven't visit since 2000,but hopefully i will go back and visit !

In Six Words

2008-06-20T14:15:00.005-04:00

I was recently challenged byFeearless Blog to write my own memoir in six words,well my quote may sound simple,but there is a personal & miraclous story that is beneath the six words about to be mentioned,so here it goes:

"Live Each Day, To its' fullest"

Now, I challenge you the reader to come up with your own "six words"

The serect: attraction is = YOU

2008-06-16T15:07:00.007-04:00

WHAT COMES TO MIND WHEN YOU THINK OF HOPE?

HOW MANY TIMES DO YOU SAY TO YOURSELF "I CAN'T"?

WHO STANDS IN YOUR WAY OF "FEAR"?

The answer: You,you control what the outcomes are in your life.

A family memeber "MADE" me read a book a while back, in my freshman year of college,and one of my Professors' suggested i read the same book called " The Sercet" Now, i know what your probably think ; what are you trying to say? In this book , I learned that you control your attitude and everything you do, you surround yourself with something called "attraction". I realized this because as a college student i tend to "say my grade, BEFORE I recieved my grade,yet i learned by reading only a porition of this book that whatever comes into your life,you "attracted it". The People around you, the atmosphere you live in ...Everything !!

In retrospect, this book has helped change me because I know now, what ididn't know before and that is "attraction". Have you wondered why certain people are in your life? well, its simple because you attract them to you;believe it,or not if you are a positive person ,then you will mostly have positive outcomes,or results.

So, with the help of the book,and if it was not for those two people; i wouldn't have read that book because now I think of positvity all do to "attraction"!

Rejuvenation:the wake up call

2008-06-11T17:15:00.011-04:00

What do you first think of when you wake in the morning?

Why I am here today?

Why do I have to go...today?

Do these questions bring an immediate answer?, Give a logic reason!

There are days, when I say to myself why am I put in this situation?.What's my purpose in life?

When my father passed away in september of 2000, I was fourteen,andwith my dad's passing I took a turn for the worse ;i was just branching out of my "quiet Shell" after all i was becoming a outgoing Teenager,but when my dad unexpectantly passed away i went into my immediate "quiet shell" AGAIN! As I began attending high school, my freshman year was very difficult I struggled to make friends,often ate alone,and believe it,or not i was semi-depressed with occassionally saying things that was not in my nature to say.During the end of my freshman year i had a complete & uncomprehenisble "melt-down" due to my father's passing.I didn't really express my feelings to anyone ,not even my family !occasionally i would blurt something out to my "few friends",but I still felt depressed.
Yet, It was not until maybe by the year 2004, that i really started to get back to myself,but I was still often angry for no reason,but blaming GOD for taking my father away from me ...I didn't get in trouble in school,doing what i was supposed to ,but my attitude changed ( still respectful to my teachers,and others),i just didn't care about life. I was Anti-social at home and at school often,always staying in my room either watching television,or listening to selena;Selena's music had become my way of escaping the thought of my father not being around.

Today, I am pleased to say i am no longer depressed,nor do i blame GOD,yet today i have sort-of close relationship with him.I am also a rejuvenated person because I have always had a caring heart,and life just made me more genuine to others. The way i do things today is based on what my saddness has taught me growing up as a teenager who lost her father,but gained so many things out of life just because of what i experienced when my father passed,today i listen to my intuition,and i learned that "life is too short to dwell,but to live each day to its fullest"Through my father's passing I have gained a way to express myself,pain through poetry,and through singing.When i sing (I emulate selena),but i sing to relieve my stress.

I know that life has many ways to growth through pain,and i have risen above, and humbled! Here I sit, in college writing for "reflections Magazine":that i never in my wildest dream thought i would be recoginized and rewarded for;needless to say,Thanks to A prof.Cueto, I am able to showcase what my expriences in the past,and in the future has and will teach me,and i can share the motivation to never give up also be your best at all times with others!

Beyond the miraclous encounter

2008-06-03T15:13:00.004-04:00

Beyond the miraclous encounter the person lays ,so eager to know what is head,but so scared to hear the truth. Beyond the miraculous encounter they dream for a better tomorrow,and tries to get pass yesturday. Beyond the encounter one hears nothing,yet sees' everything.

Introduced to a world so beautiful and full of great potiential; The one who stands near and watches so casual,cautious,and indisbelief. Beyond is the miraclous encounter the person breathes sighs of relief knowing that tomorrow brings abetter day.

Beyond the miraclous encounter simplicity is this person's reality, to watch they have overcome to watch is to come !

Beyond the miraclous encounter life is so tedious,yet so refreshing...

The Miracle woman

2008-05-23T13:18:00.004-04:00

The woman who is brave and smart...

The woman who was told "it couldn't be done"

The woman in which she has grown to become...

The woman who smiles and fears nothing...

The Miracle woman she is ...

The Family that stands beside her in troubled times...

The people who admire her corageous ways...

For there are many Miracle women that eixt before...

Yet, she is one of a kind and be replaced.

Every woman can be a miracle woman we haven't in us.

Take the courage that you seek or have and make it a reality.

Walking miracle

2008-05-23T13:13:00.010-04:00

I heard echos behind me , beside me ,and their whispers say: She can't accomplish that!
My story is long and unbelieveable;although many people have their own stories ,i am a little different.I shall only share with you the "miracle"porition of my story,yet i will tell you of how far of a walking miracle i have become.
The doctors say:" she will "NEVER"be able to help herself, she will need the assistance of others because she can't walk, talk, eat ,etc. on her own. Yet, today i am able to do those things for myself.
The previous teachers i had said"she is unable to read ,write ,and count to ten.Yet,today i have overcome that hurdle i am a "College Student".
Sucessful in almost everything i do; i am a "walking Miracle".
Therefore, i am bound for sucess ,and very humbled my accomplishments i have done thus far. I'm imperfect, i have done the best i can... I'm dynamic with every lesson taught to me. After all i have those teachers who have motivatedand believed in me,and my family that supports me. I couldn't done it without you ( you know who you are).Change is good... But, i am constantly changing with being the walking miracle. Whenever, i tell my stories many say "i can't belive it, your a blessing;that's in the eyes of many.For those who know what i've been through,and those who i share my story of "The Impossible is always Possible"(selena); i can honestly say that the "walking Miracle" has come along way.And,has much more to achieve.

Most importantly i thank God for giving me the gift of life ,and letting me be able to share my story with others ,and inspiring people to never give up.

A MGS: You said it couldn't be done,yet i am the walking miracle and i have shown you it can be done;i am very blessed to known those who gives me each piece of advice for the good or bad of life:).

Live each day without measuring it

2008-05-22T17:26:00.007-04:00

I love this quote"Live each day without measuring it", i feel it is a quote that Selena Quintanilla-Perez lived by. Many people live for the next day and always expect to wake up the next day, but who is to say that we will see tomorrow,or next week even! So, Like what one of my favorite artist said "Be your Best at all times",and "Be strong minded and always think that the impossible is possible."

makes it worth while to live life to the fullest. Although we have our up's and downs life is simply just beautiful you have to take the good with bad,smile when your sad ,nd just embrace those around you.

It Makes me wonder if people really sit down and think what they have in life. Everyday i hear someone complain about what's going to happen tomorrow ,or next week;other than, what's going to happen"Today"?. Now, i must confess i do say that too,yet i hear people say that more often than i do.I simply reply why are questioning about tomorow when you still have today to worry about. And "Live each day without measuring it"

The simple task of waiting and pracrasting is uncomprehensible because we need to live for the moement, and worry what's going to happen next week or a month from now.
Do you think of today?,now be honest with yourself...
May we please be realistic here for a second, Do you wake up thinking"oh my God i have to go to work today"! i'm sure you do,but if we didn't have to work, attend school america couldn't suffice with each day that there is no money to spend and pay bills with.

Take each day one day ,or hour at a time and do the best you can with what you have stop thinking what's going to happen tomorrow or next week because we have live life to its fullest ,better yet "live each day without measuring it";Now here's my question to you what are you think about this quote? And how are you going to start taking those steps to changing your attitude about what's going to happen next week or a month in advance.

Motivation

2008-05-20T17:15:00.005-04:00

Many Friends,or people i interact with ask me how do you stay so positive all the time? I can be honest;i'm not positive All the time. Those who really know me can tell you like every other person i have my"Doubts" ,but i try not to make them appear as often as i actually have them. On the contrary, i stay positive when i'm around unfamilar faces or someone who keps me moving in the direction that is positive.

My answer to my"positive Attitude" is Motivation,without it you can forget it ; each time i am faced with a challenge i take it and strive for sucess. What do you do when all is said and done?, simply don't hesitate move forward with "Motivation"in mind.
In my opinion, i believe motivation of someone who tells you that things are impossible...Yeah right! you have to believe in yourself FIRST & FOREMOST without believing in yourself,not to mention the motivation that keeps a float,it brakes you down.

Motivation for doing the best you can is taking everything you have and giving it your all,so where does motivation come from?;For me,the will to succed and knowing in the end that all the trouble ,sweat,and heartache is worth it because the reward of knowing from the beginning that i have "Motivation" makes me accomplish everything i want in life ...Thus far!

Live,love ,laugh

2008-05-20T17:12:00.007-04:00

Live:"Live for the moment"

love:keep your heart open.

Laugh: laugh rather than cry.

Each day i count my blessings because i am "a Miracle".

So,each day that i am grateful to see, each hurdle of obstacles i cross...

I LIVE, LOVE ,AND LAUGH!

I do the best i can with everything that i am given.

God has blessed me in so many ways that i sometimes ask myself what have i done to deserve the good deeds.

I live life to its fullest, i love the people who give me so much ,but ask for nothing in return,and i laugh at those who say "It couldn't be done", to prove that obstacles can be achieved.

i live for today,and not for tomorrow;needless to say, i love those who advise me in with critical dose of reality,and i laugh at the obstacles that try to keep me down.

memories ...

2008-05-19T11:47:00.006-04:00

My father passed away when i was 14yrs.old , i took his death extremely hard. When i saw his lifeless body laying in the same position that he passed away ( a sleep);it broke my little heart;to know that the man who raised me and i confided in was gone. To this day, i still remember waking up to my mother's scream , not aware what had occured and falling out of my bed frightened. Her face dripping with tears her frantic cry for help as she spoke on the phone with 9-1-1. I asked her " mommy, what's wrong not really thinking at the time. I noticed my father was not in the living room i searched for him ,running back in the hallway to here my parents room and my room is adjacent. I saw my dad, the man who loved golf,baseball,and wrestling. I can still remember going to the marlins game with him and screaming" alou, alou"! Its so hard to take that morning out of my head replaying over, over ,and over again.

It made me realize how important life is , i had some amazing times with him . His " little selena" refering back to my favorite singer and my role model in the music industry. Every weekend it was either the golf course or a baseball game that we attended. I sometimes forget he is not here to see me come from classes and tell him about my day,or wait for him to say certain things,and although its going to be 8yrs. since he passed ,it feels as if he is sitting next to me on the bus as i come to classes ,or walking with me at home. Then, there are times i fell he is just missing out on activity that the whole family is involved in.

Sometimes when the wind hits my face , i feel as if he is smiling and hugging me . Sometimes i forget he is even not here ; i honestly think he's on his way home from work ,or he left early to go play golf. Getting ready to call me to see if i've done my homework ,or ate something ,or even spoke to my mom. I don't mention to anyone in the family" i miss daddy" i think they already know ! somethings he is not here to witness like me attending college. I wish he was here to see that much,but i know he's watching me.... I wish he was here physically!

Blessed and Beyond

2008-05-01T18:44:00.005-04:00

Blessed and Beyond

The walk she steps,so quietly...

The Breathes she takes and the moves she makes...

When her mind tells her go ,and her heart thumbs too cautious...

The life she lives so brave , so eager to see because she's blessed!

Although, doin her best, she strives for sucess...

Blessed and beyond she can't imagine what life gives her.

She leaves the rest behind, conquering whats left;unestimated by her
ablities.

She is greatful for every piece of advice because she is blessed and beyond.

learning the history...

2008-05-01T18:03:00.006-04:00

America is full of diversity and charisma! we have our Native Americans,Latinos,African-Americans,middle eastern,islanders etc.I love to meet new people from different cultures because i get to learn new languages and the richness of their particular culture.
i recently had to write a paper based on Barack Obama & what his candidacy says about race relations in america! For me it was the toughest paper i have EVER wriiten,yet with a little help and research i found out a lot of intresting history between what occured in the 1950's & 1960's ,and how it has "Improved" today. I learned what minorities had to go through, and how awful things were back then. It made me realize how fortunate people in my age range are lucky.

The youth today is so involved with technology and other things; they do not have time to sit down and learn their history. Now i must admit i am part of this group,but i love history.It is said quote: "If you don't know your history,it will repeat itself". Many young people will not pay attention to this quote it seems as if many don't really care. I decided to write this piece because as a young person i am aware of how people minds shift to sterotypes if something goes wrong. But,the whole understanding is taking the lessons learned and using it!

Generally, i believe what is brought to your attention is supposed to teach you something useful. On the other hand, it could just be "A MIRACLE" that what a person is taught and they don't take in accordance to what being taught because they simply don't understand!
Back to what i was orignally saying, Many of us don't know our history and how we reach hear to have a diverse nation ... for one i am greatful for writing this essay because it taught some valuable lessons of how many people were humilated! lets keep moving forward to bigger and better things!
