I am Brianna Morris, but most people just call me Bri. My name came from my parents trying to find a name that went with my sister’s name, Britney. They were successful in that because every year, I come across siblings who have the names Britney and Brianna. Because I never knew what I wanted to be when I grew up, I did not know how my life would turn out. Up until towards the end of my junior year. I had this Economics teacher who really helped students find a career path for them. One day in the class, I heard of medical imaging, and when I got home, all I did was research it. That is when I realized this was the career path I had been looking for all along. It immediately stuck with me, and I have my mind set on doing great in it.
Growing up, I always had a love for technology. I even ran my own business in 2020 called WebsiteHelpers to create websites for other businesses. I also make YouTube Intro edits as well as video edits. When the world went back to “normal” after COVID, I started working at Burlington, so I did not really have any free time to make websites anymore. I ended up working at Burlington for two years, but I realized it was time to move on, so I currently work at Target.
To tell you a little more about me, I love to go to concerts and see my favorite artists live. I have been to about five concerts. The artists at the concerts I attended were Chris Brown, Drake, Tory Lanez, Burna Boy, Dexta Daps, and many more special guests. I love it because the feeling of me listening to music from my phone and hearing it from the artist live and in person is just heartwarming. My favorite music genres right now are Reggae, Afrobeats, and R&B. My favorite artists from each genre are Popcaan from Reggae, Tems from Afrobeats, and Brent Faiyaz from R&B.
Another fun fact about me is that I love buying new shoes and clothes. Because I enjoy shopping, it is hard for me to save money. Recently, I started to prioritize saving money, although I still buy new things here and there, but not as much as I used to. I realized I must save money to pay my tuition and other more important expenses. The older I have gotten, the more I have started to realize designer shoes and clothes are not a necessity; they are more of a want. So, that is a glimpse of who I am.
I also enjoy shopping! I just feel like it’s a very fun thing to do when you’re with your friends and then they’ll give you their opinion on the items. It must have been so nice going to Chris Brown’s concert. I enjoy listening to his music. And I think that it’s really cool that you have your own business.
Hi Brianna, I also like shopping and know that I must save money for the future as I grow up. Saving money is essential as if there are emergency events happening, savings can help. I also want to watch lives but never get the chance yet. Hopefully, I will find time and money to go to lives. Finally, I really admire your bravery that you are very decisive about your choices and your accomplishments about owning a business!
Hi Bri, I enjoy shopping, but I do agree that materialistic things are not necessary. Saving money is important especially while in college. I’m glad that we enjoy some of the same artists. Ultimately, I want to say how much I respect your courage in being so decisive in your decisions and in running your business!
Hi Bri, I noticed that you listed Popcaan as your favorite reggae artist. I also listen to him and enjoy his music as well. I would say he is one of the best reggae artists. Shopping for clothes and shoes is also one of my interests as well. I’m pretty picky with what I buy since I try to save money as well but the struggle to save is also a habit of mine. Also, I like the fact that you ran your own business as it shows others that you’re a young entrepreneur.
Im glad to choose your story to read. Im impressed from what you have accomplished and what you have done. I started taking advantage when we was in the pandemic, I did youtube, streams and created a website to. I started different ways to hustle and that’s when I learned a lot. It cool to know you figured out what you wanted since junior year. Some people goes into college without knowing what they even want to do. And something in common we have is that my mom chose my sisters name to Match with mines. My name is Angel while mi sisters name is Angely
Honestly, being the fact I loveTechnology, it is really appealing and pleasing to see someone in my age group being so productive to the point they are running a business based on Technology. Also since I be working and creating websites to it is great to see you truly enjoyed creating them. It is definitely true that material items isn’t a need, it is more like a want. I believe if people continues to think of it as a need they won’t ever be financially smart or stable.
