Coppin State University is the WORST!

So today I attended the Coppin State University Graduating Senior Seminar only to find out that I missed the deadline to have all of my information submitted so that I can walk across the stage to receive my long awaited degree. The deadline was September 5th and they held the seminar of September 25th which makes NO sense to me at all. I have waited so long for this moment only to have it snatched away from me. Well let me tell you what... I WILL walk across that stage even if I have to go the president’s office every single day. You try to have faith in HBCU's but they always let you down no matter what! I am sick and tired of this and one I leave I will NEVER go back and I advise you to do the same. So here begins my long journey to get them to do the right thing and let me walk...

Looking Up Up Up!

Hi All

Well the first day of school was the 30th and I was already feeling defeated by my Statistics course. I do understand that this is college, however I mean the first day and you are already giving out test and home assignments. I sat in class staring at this book with nothing but long paragraphs with crazy diagrams and decided I was done before I even gave myself a chance. This is unacceptable and I vow to t least try before I decide that I cannot do it. I allowed my mind to trick me into believing that this course was so above me and I checked out. I am now however realizing that this is something that I really can do and I will succeed and I will not accept anything less form myself other than greatness.

Working

Good Morning,
Everyday I am working on the book hoping to get further along so that I can finally see the finished product. I don’t want to rush myself and put out something that I am not proud of. Today I am feeling a little down and I think that if I put all of that negative energy into my book today I will be very happy with the outcome.

Giving Back

You know, I’m sitting here at my desk thinking about all of the things that I have to do this week, this month and then it hit me. I feel like I am not doing enough to help other people. I mean I do work with the girls for Girls Rock!! and their volunteer activities, but I still feel like there is so much more that I could be doing with my time to make someone else’s day brighter. So Instead of waiting until the typical count down to New Years where everyone makes resolutions to change, to loose weight, to donate their time and money... I am going to start now. When I die I want to be more than just a "regular" person. I want to be remembered as someone who touched lives, and inspired others to be better than anything that they ever could have imagined. To me that is what makes life so much more than "regular". So here it goes, these are the things that I vow to start, change, or become better at




• Two times a month I will donate to a different charity

• Have a more positive attitude

• Do more with Girls Rock!!!

• Push harder than ever to be a better me i.e. eat better, get more rest, and take my vitamins!

These things aren’t really that big, or life altering but it is where I can start to do my part.
