My Big Move I have lived most of my life in the city. At that time, I lived in an apartment in Newark, Ohio. I saw people walking around outside, I heard the loud cars roaring by, and the noise from the sirens is incredibly noisy on most days. I have finally decided to move on with my life. I had been in three serious relationships in the past, none of which worked out for whatever the reason. I am glad because I have three kids now from that, no boyfriend nor husband though. I have just…

Ballet is an artform that, like any other, takes time to perfect. The sooner you start to work on your trade and realize the passion you have for it, the sooner that you are able to strive to perfect and chisel away at it. Most professional dancers start at a very young age, anywhere from three on. Because there are so many less men compared to women, men can usually get away with starting at a later age, say 12 to 14 or even a couple years more. I started, from scratch, when I was 18 years old,…

I decided to write about my relationship with my dad in this post because Father’s Day just passed and because I’ve already made a post about the incredible bond I have with my dad. In that post I mentioned that he was away in Korea when I was born and I didn’t get to see him until I was 7 months old. My mother, who was only 22 at the time, had a lot of responsibility taking care of the three of us who were all under 3 years old. When my dad came home he took over the caregiving duties for me…

Mothers ' Love This is the story of three friends who lived in a beautiful kingdom not of this world. In this heavenly realm were glorious gardens of fragrant flowers, strong trees and singing brooks. There were many children who spent their days running and playing together in the garden. The Keeper of The Garden, also known as Father, knew all of his children who lived there. On day he came to the three friends while they were playing happily together. He called each of them by name and…

Perceval moved to chase after her, but suddenly realized he wore next to nothing, and unless he wanted to be tackled by the castle guard and tossed into the dungeons for indecency, he needed to dress. He raced around the room frantically, collecting his things all while shouting at Elora. The woman sat in bed, pouting, her arms crossed over her naked bosom. “Get the fuck out of my bed, will you?” bellowed Perceval, nearly apoplectic with rage, as he yanked up his trousers and slipped his feet…

Motivation 3.0 is based off of Type I behavior which Pink explains is the motivation to have the opportunity to complete anything with the freedom and do certain things your way. Pink believes we should move more towards motivation 3.0 because it will bring better performances from people. I do agree with pink simply because I can relate this to myself. In a business you have to work according to what they want you to do and their procedures but I find that changing the way you work to fit your…

The life we live is like an open sea. At times, it hurls violent waves on us, completely throwing us off our tracks. Usually, the only way to recover from the blows that constantly blind us as we journey along is to fight with our strongest will possible. I have lived the kind of life I consider extraordinary. My father use to assault my mother and when I was a young girl. On almost a daily basis, he would send me to my room, lock me in there and abuse my mother. She was never the type to fight…

Emotional Intelligence I believe I am lacking emotional intelligence because I don’t always manage my emotions well, but I can stay motivated when things are difficult in my life. There are many examples I could use, but I feel like the most recent would work best. Just a couple weeks ago I experienced myself acting irrationally towards my parents and I was neglecting their feelings, it all started when I began college. My parents were having a hard time with the transition of me not being home…

I will be focusing only on my good sides now. There are three type of good characteristics I have. Of course, there are more. For now, I will tell you just three of it. Three types of the characteristic I have. The first positive characteristic of me is, being friendly to everyone. Which means, I am a friendly person. It doesn’t matter I…

I have always considered myself a leader especially because of the environment I grew up in. The ability to become a leader amongst my friends, family, and my organization are all attributed to the choices and effects on other people that I had growing up. When it comes to my organization I have no choice but to be a leader, you can’t just settle for being a manager because people may not truly respect you. As a leader in my organization, I am able to influence not only my supervisors, athletes,…
