Both my classes got canceled today. Which in a way was fun but both because I got time to spend with my best friend. We are currently having McDonalds and talking about basketball. I’ve been trying to discuss my basketball fashion essay with him but I don’t know what to currently write about. I think I want to focus on Kyrie Irvings fashion skills, his clothing line and how he changed the dynamics of fashion overall in the basketball community.

I recently passed my fashion midterm with a 105% which I am pretty excited for.

In the Read Like a Writer we learned how to read like you’re in the writer’s shoes. The setting he created for the reader was that reading like a writer made him understand the author’s purpose (of what they were reading) more. That reading like this consisted of a series of choices. That these choices the author made can help you better understand even one’s own writing. Once he learned how to read like a writer he could apply this style or technique to influence his own writing according to the passages on page 7. The author of RLW goes on to state that he would try to apply other writers techniques to see if they worked for him.

A core value is a belief that a person operates from. For me a core value that guides me is love. They are what continue to keep me pushing toward success in my life. As a young mom the first time I ever felt genuine love was when my son and I touched the day he was born, it was a love unlike any other that I’ve ever experienced before, it was real it was pure and it was everything I imagined love to be. I’ve struggled with my own mental health due to all the stressors life can be, but the bond between my son and I is unlike any other. I live for him and he lives for me. I never had the family dynamic and my parents and I don’t have the best relationship so for me loving my son the way I always wanted to be loved has changed my perspective as a women and as a parent. It made me a better person because it was what my inner chid and soul craved- to be loved.

Having the love of a child and knowing that the bond and the love will forever be their is something I can’t fathom to put into words. I hope one day everyone can experience a life changing love and a genuine love that won’t hurt or leave. I believe everyone in life needs to be loved to have a purpose or ad rive to succeed and be better.

Love for me has me wanting to be a better mother, a better friend, a better daughter and overall a better person.  Therapy has even showed me that self love sometimes is all that you really need as well and their isn’t honest nothing better than loving yourself too. I hope for one day that the love I show people can change them into who they need to become and that eventually love and compassion can change the evil that lies in this world and make it a place were everyone is happy and is spreading love and not hate.
