In life, you come across a lot of people that play a role in your academics. Mothers, fathers, aunties, uncles, teachers, etc. Your parents as well as mine introduced you to the alphabet when you were a newborn. Using YouTube videos, alphabet mats, or even children’s cartoons. I would consider that the first stepping block to learning how to read or write. As a child, I grew up watching a lot of shows that introduced me to the alphabet, numbers, shapes, colors, and sentences. Over time you get familiar with simple sentences by repeatedly watching these shows. I’ve always been a visual learner. So watching my teacher Ms.Gittens write on the dry erase board was a solid factor in my childhood. As she wrote on the board, she would sound out the word super slow for everybody in the class. Another person that played a part in me learning how to define words is my aunt Tania. Tania is the first person in my family that helped me define words. Before her, I never knew how to use the dictionary. I always found the easy way out and googled what words meant. Thankfully she did not allow that to happen. She handed me a dictionary and explained every step in full detail. She gave me random words to find on my own to ensure that I understood. Lastly, there was my father. Even though this has nothing to do with English, my father taught me mathematics. He bought me dry erase boards, markers, graphs, and charts. Anything that could possibly help me, he bought, He would pick me up from school and devote time to my math assignments, He would pick my brain to make sure I am thinking logically. He would make me explain to him and show him how I reached my answer and correct me after if I was wrong. Special thanks to everybody involved.

As stated by a classmate “life is change and I’m simple unprepared”. I feel like this was said perfectly. U truly never realize that shift when entering “adult life” and everything that is attached with that. Adulting is like a big slap in the face. It’s a harsh balance between being a student, working, finding time for urself, spending time with family. There aren’t directives in life which sucks. U’ll never fully grasps the “hang”. But bright days are always ahead. The best saying is “a step at a time”. With that being said I always start my sunny/rainy days with Summer Walker. That always keeps my spirits up. Life is change but it’s something we just have to accept.

February 9th, beginning of a new day. My alarm goes off at 8:15 AM. I wake up and of course, start staring into a blank space, reevaluating my life. I concluded that I wanted to sleep in some more. So I decided to change locations as well and slept in my mother’s bed, it was super comfy. I officially woke up around 12 PM. Every morning I start my day off by stretching, then proceed to shower and brush my teeth. Unfortunately, my itinerary was behind today because I decided to prioritize my sleep. I wanted to attend Blink no later than 9:30 AM today. Gyms aren’t crowded bright and early so I wanted to take advantage. I’m also trying to work on feeling bold enough to attend any fitness center alone. I’m trying to better myself this year. One major goal for me is to make fitness a daily thing in my life. This morning for breakfast I had peaches and cream oatmeal. I’d definitely recommend this to anybody that likes oatmeal, majority of supermarkets have them. Around 2:30, I started making my way to Blink. To my surprise Blink wasn’t too crowded today, which literally made my heart smile. Today’s main focus was mainly arms. I warmed up using a treadmill for 20 minutes. In total, I spent 1 hour and 30 minutes at Blink. After my workout, I crossed over to Sweet Green and ate a wonderful salad. All in all my day was pretty productive.
