Goals will be achieved

 Since I was but a young little child, entering the big gates of my primary school there was this absolutely friendly student who welcomed me with open arms, made me feel comfortable and less scared than what I was. 

Afterall this is such a big step in my life. Leaving the care of my mother and now having to trust those who are so new to my life. 

That was the day I got to know the identity of a PREFECT, that was the day I said..ONE DAY WHEN I AM IN GRADE 7 I WANT TO BE A PREFECT. 

Now that was years ago and so much has happened since that very first day. But I have never let that goal out of my sight, I never stopped working towards it. Yes it was not always on the front lines or on the top of my priority goals. Yet in someway I think because I had already in my mind and my heart set that goal that subconsciously I have done many things, worked harder, gone the extra mile and never stopped working on achieving that goal. 

Truth be told, it was only really when my year as a grade 7 pupil started that it truly came flashing back to my mind. This is what I want, how will I achieve this, can I do this...and so much more it was overwhelming. Because suddenly my conscious mind was flooded with so many things and I thought of all the things that has happened throughout my years as a student, a person and a friend. 

So many negative thoughts that made me so anxious came rushing, can I be a leader, I am not popular, I am shy and more. 

Then I took all of those emotions, the anxiety, the nerves and I allowed it to turn into a positive outlook. I took the power and I found myself doing what a prefect would do, without even being a prefect. I was the big tall student holding a grade 1 student had, showing them how to be brave. I found myself standing tall, being proud of all I have achieved regardless of being a prefect or not. 

Did I still want to be names prefect, YES. of course, however; 

In my heart, I am a prefect and it didn't seem to be as extreme to me either way if I had a badge that is noticeable to other stating I am a prefect, no it was what I saw and felt within myself. 

Today marks a very special day for me. In my school today was the day that the prefects was announced....

Guess who was one of the honored students named prefect...ME!!!!


Yes I did it, to so many it might seem irrelevant or me gloating but for me this is bigger than just the badge. It showed me that throughout my years of personal struggles, the many negativity circumstances I have had to endure and overcome. That   deep within I still believed in myself, I still worked hard towards these goals and I never gave up. 

Just because you planted a seed and watered


it for years waiting for it to blossom, don't loose faith that it won't bear bright flowers.

Not just a project

  We all get those school project with a "must have" list. Some even dread doing these project as it requires work outside of your classroom.  I want to encourage you to look further than just the project and the "must have" list so you can truly appreciate these projects and look forward to doing them as I do.  Firstly I have one big rule I apply when it comes to any project...ALWAYS THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX AND DON'T FOLLOW GOOGLE! Since I was young and did my first project which was to tell a story and have an object that coincided with the story. It just so happened that at that time I watched Narnia for the first time. Thus started the beginning of how I would approach any project with the motto of thinking outside the box.  For that specific project I created my own Narnia story and in true form I build my own Narnia world to display. What I learned from that very first project is that if you allow yourself to explore more ideas and to think outside the box y...

  Youth vs Adults I know in your family your parents generally decide what is best for you when you are young and they guide you through life.  Now that I am older and branching out into many areas where my curious mind is taking me I have come across one thing i find very interesting yet controversy.  When the war in Ukraine started, which almost feels like yesterday when I watching this horrible events unfold...I saw many people, families concerned for their children safety. That is of course something that anyone in that circumstances would be concerned about and it should be a priority to all to ensure the children are safe.  With that, the whole concept of "we doing it for the children / youth" has set me down a rabbit hole where I have been for the past year studying and doing more research on this...why...well we are the seeds of the future and I want to know how to take care of our seeds.  In my household, yes I am still a child however I am extremely fo...

Never limit yourself

 Goals are very important. It gives you a sense of direction in which you should strive towards, but don't let that be your limit.  There is a very fine line between accepting the possible, settling for the less, aiming high and dreaming big. It is all very much like a maze that one has to navigate through. Because you don't want to fall short yet you also don't want to try.  Constantly navigating through this maze can sometimes make you feel like you just want to give up...but don't! just because you came across a dead end doesn't mean you can't turn back and make a different turn.  If i have learned anything in Life, it is that you shouldn't just laugh and smile during the good time but that you should embrace the sad and bad times. Yes, embrace the moments, cry, scream, shout, let yourself feel the pain, the hurt the disappointment.  Then you get back up, you take what you have learned and you start again. You can fall down again, it doesn't  matter a...
