Bored- Tussle by Big Tuck

Hyped/Workout- Turn My Swag On

Get Allot- Young Jeezy

Challenge #9- Something you’re proud of in the past few days

No pain No Gain

I ran a mile without stopping! That was my goal for the summer and I have completed it with a few weeks left to spare. So I am going to try and run two miles without stopping within the next 3 months. Who knows, I may become a marathon runner in the future.

Challenge #8- Short term goals for this month and why

I love writing goals down. I have a lot of things I need to take care of this month.

Get a job- This is going to be hard but I enjoy having my own spending money so I can get my hair done and purchase new shoes.

Lose 7 pounds- Why 7? I do not know. It just sounded good. I have lost 17 so far. Almost 2 dress sizes.

Talk to a financial advisor- I am trying to go to grad school and I need to figure out how I am going to pay for it.

Read one classic- I love books. I am learning books are a good ways for me to relax before I go to bed.

Read the bible each day- I am trying to strengthen my relationship with Christ. I always start off good and then stop.

Challenge #7- A picture of someone/something that has the biggest impact on you

One of the many reasons I have not been blogging lately is because I am currently serving with Americorps. Americorps is a national service organization. It places volunteers ages 17-24 at different nonprofit organizations throughout the year.

I am currently serving my Americorps term for the summer at Roseland, which is a housing community in North Dallas. The Roseland community has a very unique set up. It is semi gated with a community center, daycare, library, after school acadmey, computer lab and center for teens at the front. All of the things previous listed are either free or cost between $5 to $10 to use for an entire year. I, along with about 18 other Americorps members, work in one of the these areas. My focus is the library.

Serving at Roseland has truely changed my life. I always knew I wanted a career where I was helping people but I was unsure of what age range I wanted to focus on. However, I have realized I have a love for young children. Programs like the one at Roseland give children the opporunity to remain engaged all year long making it easier for them to retain information they learn throughout the school year.

Challenge #6- Favorite super hero and why

I am sorry but I do not have a favorite superhero. I did not really watch a lot of tv growing up. So, I do not really know any characteristics of superheros. Sad, I know. If I think of something later on I will post it.

Challenge #5- Aloha

I have been traveling since I was little. But I think the most interesting place I have been is Hawaii. I enjoyed everything about the trips there including the plane rides. I would love to go back soon. When we would go, we would stay for 21 days at a time visiting Honolulu, Maui, and Kauai. It was interesting to see how each island had its own personality.

Challenge #4- Bad Habit

I wish I was not sometimey. I have gotten better about this with age. But, when it comes to guys especially I tend to be sometimey with them. I act that with for various reasons. If my feelings are hurt by them or if I need attention sometimes.

I use to be sometimey with my friends but I believe I have grown out of that. I only have a few so I know I have to treat them well. Lol.

Challenge #3- Friends, how many of us have them

I have not taken a lot of pictures in the last couple of years. This is recent photo that was taken with my friend Tameshia on my birthday this year. Tameshia and I have been friends for almost 7 years. She is a great friend. She has been there for me a lot and I hope she can say the same.

Challenge #2- The meaning behind your Blogger name

When I finally decided to write a blog, it came at a point in my life when I was trying to explore new things. I wanted to share my experiences about life as I tried to figure things out. I was single for the first time in three years. So, I wanted to write about my dating experiences. I was and still am taking up an interest in makeup and fashion. I also am trying to decided what I want to do as a career. This is constantly changing and I will be updating you guys on this very soon.
