Stayed home today, my stomach still wasn’t really feeling right; therefore I’m catching up on my blogs, and scholarships. Today is definitely going to be a long day though, I have to go to school to complete this scholarship with Dona, as well as work tonight. Hopefully this day goes by fast.

Last night was cool; I went to see Patterson and Franklin play. Aquille Carr really is tough on the court, this was the first time I seen him play live, and he went off. Only thing that made the day bad was I felt horrible and had to leave the game early. As soon as I arrived home I went to sleep.

Monday, whew that was a very long day for me. From having to go to school, to then working from 5-10 that night I was exhausted when I finally got into the house. At least my hours for work are picking up, I work Monday, Wednesday and Friday this week, I haven’t gotten three days of work in a while. So far I have one day completed and two more left.

2/26/12

I just completed my brochure of the United nations for AP Human Geography, it took forever, however my homework is now completed. Only thing left to do now is watch the NBA All-Star game for the rest of the night. Goodnight everyone.

2/25/12

So I wake up and when I go down stairs I just noticed we had a dog. It’s a Yorkie I think and my step-mom named him Cooper. He a cool dog though, he so shy though, I guess he just has to get used to the new house.

I had a fun night yesterday; I went to see the movie Safe House with Denzel Washington. It’s was really good, well I thought so. After that I went out to eat at Red Robins, and I arrived home around 11. , I was exhausted when I finally got home, yesterday was a long but exciting day.

2/23/12

My dinner for the night, well it’s leftovers from the restaurant Granny’s that I just ate a couple minutes ago. The food was delicious; I had catfish yams and Mac n cheese. I love me some soul food, I will most likely eat the rest later on before I go to sleep.

2/22/12

This is my checklist that I have to complete in order to become fully enrolled into North Carolina A&T. Just looking at this makes me think how far I have come and time really does move fast. I remember my first day in kindergarten and now in about 3 months I am going to graduate from high school. Life is really about to hit me, I’m soon to be on my own; however I’m up for the challenge. Succeeding is the only way I see myself in the future and that’s what is to come for me in the future.

2/21/12

I finally just completed a packet and a full response for AP Human Geography concerning the United Nations. That work took forever and a day, however it’s completed and thoroughly finished. Hard work pays off, I’m looking a straight A’s for this quarter, and it definitely can get done.

1/20/12

This is what I came to when I arrived home, an abundance of clothes everywhere. it was all cool though, it took me a while to put all my clothes up, however I had gotten a quick nap before work, so that was all good.

2/18/12

Seem like today is going to be a chills day, just scholarships and probably go out later on other then that I’m just going to be chilling with my mom and family today.

2/17/12

It took a minute, however I'm finally done reading the hunger games. I was really into the book especially at the end, matter fact I read I think the last 6 chapters yesterday night. I’m thinking about buying the other books in order to finish the trilogy.

2/16/12

Honor roll two semesters in a row, yeah I’m definitely on the roll this year. I'm definitely doing well this school year, getting accepted to four colleges, doing well in school, I’m proud of myself. My final step is to receive a free ride to North Carolina A&T; I’m working on that every day of the week. If I can obtain this goal I will feel accomplished.

2/14/12

I just completed another one of my scholarships for school.  If I win it will be a total of $2,000 dollars that will be put forward to my education. Hopefully I can win enough scholarships for a free education that would be wonderful.

2/13/12

I am honestly enjoying this book that we were assigned in AVID. It's been at certain instances when I never wanted to put the book down; I just wanted to continue reading. I'm currently on chapter 15, I should have read more, however I have been focusing more on homework and scholarships lately.

2/12/12

I’m just arriving home since I left this morning for church. I’m glad I went to today’s service, it made me look within myself and I see I have to change some things about me. After church I had to run some errands and on the way home I stopped at McDonalds and purchased some mcbites for a snack before I go to work at five. They weren’t all that bad, I just hope they hold me off until 8 when I get off of work.

2/5/12

Ending my night off with a chicken cheese steak and the last two quarters of the super bowl. Today was very tiring; I woke up early for church then after left my mom's house back to my dads, then off to work. I'm finally home and I’m in for the night. I'm about to relax to the fullest and just enjoy the game and eat my cheese steak.

2/10/12

Today I watched Hotel in Rwanda in 1st period, and after I went on a field trip to go see the movie Red Tails. I could really say this was a relaxing cool day. Both of these movies are very influential, they both represented the struggle African and African American had to endure, but without their efforts a lot of the opportunities we have as African Americans now, we wouldn’t have at all. I’m very appreciative of the things they did, I know everything is still not perfect or how it's supposed to be, however it has come a long way.

This was the paper that described who I was paired up with for an assignment in AVID. At first when I read it, I had no idea who I was supposed to be paired up to until I read the part about her favorite subject being Spanish. The first person that came to my mind was Tezerea. I just remember one day in AP English 12 her saying something about Spanish, and it found out that my guess was right. Now it’s just time that we work together so we can get as much points as possible for our teams as well keep and maintain our grades.

2/8/12

Just arrived home recently, had a cool day with my other family, that being Jesse, Ahmir, Chris, and Brandon. It was a chills environment, Brandon was showing me how to make beats on the computer, he really has the aspiration to become a producer, and he does quite well at making beats. All those buttons, and the different settings on the computer program confused me, however he's good at it, maybe working in the studio is something for him that he will make a career out of.

2/6/2012

This is my bed where I spent the majority of my night. I took the best nap today, I was feeling horrible after school, and a mixture of having a migraine and being sore from weight training is the worst feeling in the world. I feel much better though, I completed all my homework and my father filled out the income part of the scholarship so that was sent out a couple of minutes ago. I’m refreshed; the only thing bad about my nap is that I’m sure to be up all night.

2/4/12

Today been a chills day I guess, I haven't really done anything since it began to snow and rain. One thing I did complete though was a scholarship for $25,000. This scholarship is called the Buick Achievers Scholarship. The only part I have left to do is get my father to complete the financial part of the scholarship, therefore I am going to wait to I get back to my dad’s so he can complete this part. Then the next thing to do is submit the scholarship and hope I win.

2/2/12

Just received an acceptance letter for Lincoln University. I think this is my sixth or seventh school I have been accepted to; yeah I am definitely proud of myself. Let me not forget that I received a scholarship my freshmen year for $4,000. This is the only school that has awarded me money, it may not be an abundance of money, however some money is better then none at all! I just hope that sooner or later North Carolina A&T will reward me money, other then that I will just continue to find and complete scholarships.
