"Hold fast to your dreams, for if dreams die, Life is a broken winged bird that cannot fly." Langston HughesI am currently a senior at Virginia Commonwealth University and I am pursuing my bachelor's degree in psychology. I intend on continuing my education in a graduate program after my graduation in May 2008! I consider myself to be an extremely fun loving person. I think I'm learning how to really enjoy life and not sweat the small stuff, especially the things that I have no control over, such as the actions of other people. I love to laugh and have a good time with my friends, family and my baby. Now that I am older I can truely appreciate how blessed I am, I see where I am and where I used to be and where I could have been, had it not been for God. The Lord continues to amaze me! His love and grace has been MORE THAN ENOUGH! I am also very thankful for every challenge that I have had to face and overcome because I know that it has only made me stronger and more determined. I AM FOCUSED! I am all about achieving my goals and striving to be the successful woman of God that I know I can be. I am also very blessed to be surrounded by people who want the same thing for me and who help me to stay focused. I have wonderful role models in my mother and father who have done an excellent job at instilling in me strong morals and values and also strong convictions. There are so many people who have contributed to the person that I am today. Whether your role in my life was negative or positive, I have learned something from our relationship that has helped me to grow. So if you are one of those people "Thanks". Since I only have a short time before I have to really be an adult, I want to make the best of the time that I have left as a student and just have a good time.
Livin' life to the fullest and loving every moment!
When I say..."I am a Christian"
I'm not shouting "I'm clean livin'."
I'm whispering "I was lost,
Now I'm found and forgiven."When I say..."I am a Christian"
I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble
and need Christ to be my guide.When I say..."I am a Christian"
I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak
And need His strength to carry on.When I say..."I am a Christian"
I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed
And need God to clean my mess.When I say..."I am a Christian"
I still feel the sting of pain.
I have my share of heartaches
So I call upon His name.When I say.."I am a Christian"
I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner
Who received God's good grace, somehow!
-Maya Angelou
