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"

Fearless : part II
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!

Going with the flow
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!

Leave a winner!
Face the enemy of what stops you!

Fight for what you want, fight for the courage in existence.
Un-real, you say? Impossible, NEVER!
Fearless is who you are!

The serect: attraction is = YOU
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
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
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...

Live each day without measuring it
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
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!

To teach ... is to learn
Well, These teachers, professors are a blessing to me! Mrs. Denegate was my elementary school teacher she believed that i could show people that i was able to learn like the rest of my classmates. Mrs. Carter knew that i was a strong indivual who was incredibly smart. Mr. Ramos & Ms. reddick ... well thanks to them i was able to stablize my fears about mathematics growing up i had a fear of math... I HATED it ,yet i have refrain from saying i hate math; i use the word DISLIKE , but now in math tutoring i have grown to like math ;occassionly, i enjoy working out problems. In which has helped me to conquer my fears of math ( i think i have drastically improved).Lasst,but Definately not least where do i begin about Mrs.Cueto, i knew i was a GOOD writer,i sometimes have grammatical errors writing is my strongest point.Mrs.Cueto was my Writing College prep Professor (I don't she knows how she has shaped me into a writer). Although i am out of College prep their is a message she gave the class "When we write we must put emotion into our writing." (Well Mrs. Cueto thanks to you i have become aware of my errors). thanks to her generosity , wonderful advice about writing i get inspired. my poetry that i write as a hobby has become more than what i could imagine ( thanks to Mrs.Cueto & reflections magazine) i am able to witness first- hand how inspirational my poetry can relate to one's life. Everyday a stranger approaches me and says "yasmin, your poetry is beautiful, i can relate to this poem ,or i loved that poem." i'm humbled by responses;therefore,believe it ,or not i love to write and express myself through poetry and essay ,But thanks to Mrs.Cueto ,i couldn't have it without you ( you are my mentor ). Thank you for your advice you have impacted my life in a way you could not imagine.
All of these "teachers are amazing !!! i have been blessed to known them:)

To teach ... is to learn (part .1)
Have you ever come in contact with a incredible teacher ? One you can sit down with and can advise you on a direction in your life when you feel adivce is at the needest hour ? I have come into several teachers who have guided me through difficult times,but i think it is important advice that is given, that helps you understand a clearer prespective on life.
"Teahers are the foundation to guide of life in human-form" without teachers we wouldn't know how to add & subtract or how life is created without our parents being around;As a future teacher myself i feel that teachers teach so we little ones can grow to be strong -nuturing adults.
There understand & compassion for the love of students are a work of God!
To teach... is to learn about everything there is to learn we can teach ourselves...YES,but to learn about life outside of the home can be good as well.
I have many incredible teachers, professor whatever you may call them; although god is my main teachers here on earth there are only a few that i have been blessed with
My elementary Teacher ( Mrs. Dengate), My junior high Teacher ( Ms. carter) , My High school teachers ( Ms. Reddick & Mr. Ramos) My college Professor ( Mrs. Cueto)
stay tuned to see how these individuals have impacted my life in someway....

a heart for the holidays
Sometimes we forget what christmas and new years'day is all about!
I recently gave cards away to all my professors and close friends; i love when christmas comes around because iam able to give away items wether it is a card or a gift to those whom make a significance in my life. I am humbled by any gifts that i recieve.
And their response in return is " i don't have anything for you"!
My response is "when someone doesn't give you a gift ,it doesn't mean their bitter it is the thought that counts".
I truely believe that a heart for the holidays is necessary because we do not need to give another a materialized item, it could be as simple as a phone call.
Having a heart for the holidays is a great it anyone can appricate ( its the thought that counts).

believing is achieving
When one has belief in themselves they are able to accomplish much!
Saying one idea and doing something totally opposite to what one has told is confusing !
When one belief that the enemy is there to destroy the courage ;it can defeat all ,yet once the stonger and wiser knoweldge is present only he or she can accomplish what needs to be done.
"believing is achieving "
keep in mind it is a challenged waiting to be defeated and fear is the destructive enemy that keeps non-believers minds awake!

God works in mysterious ways
"God works in mysterious ways"
Everyone is a miracle in his/her own way.
Miracles gives us hope a defeats our fears...
If we are going through a difficult time a miracle is what we need!
We can't question why God does the things he does...
Yet we blame him when a loved one is taken from us.
Yes... God works in mysterious ways !
While we grieve for those that we have lost
God presents us with answers that are unexplainable.
grieve stricken ...we blame not God ,or others.
