During the past week I have been procrastinating quite a lot my plan was to start doing everything ahead and get a better schedule going because i tend to slack of a lot and not go to class since i feel it is not necessary at all. That is quite a bad habit since I miss a lot of work from the majority of my classes. My plan for the week ahead was to start looking for a job again since I’ve been unemployed for quite a while already and i have many bills i have to pay and I’m running low on cash. I also planned to study and prepare more for school and sleep way earlier since i tend to sleep late and feel horrible in the morning. When i look back this week I didn't really accomplish any of my goals since i missed quite a lot of class with random incidents i have had. At home everything is stressing me out and in a way its impeding me from really reaching my full potential in school. There are just way to many things i have to worry about everywhere and slowly the boulder I'm holding in my shoulders is dragging me down. I just really need to start getting committed to what i intend to do and really follow through the plan. I need guidance in every thing i do because i am already under probation from last semester. I just really think i need to talk to a counselor or even get a counseling class to set me straight and get an actual schedule so i can know what classes to take. The reason is because i want to transfer and go to a university so that are my goals this semester.

Reflection #2
One of the events in my life that i would share with people but never tell the actual facts about is my childhood. The reason is because there is so much personal agonies and situations which are way to hard to be explained. Dealing with divorces and constant arguing isn't something that easy to talk about. Also the many situations in which you have faced and are hard to even come up with the words since it was a difficult situation. I would be able to tell the story of my childhood and touch the human heart since there are many other people who have had similar situations in my life or i can even make it relate to them just to be able to appeal to them. By telling a story you always try to appeal to the audience so in a way you are forced to switch up certain parts of your story to make it seem for intriguing. But for me it would be different because of appealing to people i would switch up certain facts because i Don't want certain things to be said because they are just to personal and I'm in many ways not comfortable having to explain my feelings. Yet i think even if i would switch up certain facts to my story it would still reach out to people since it is distressing growing up with constant arguments. I would be able to reach to the heart even with fiction and non fiction facts.

An "Emcee"
The things I carry are the many burdens my parents have inherited to me. "I wear my scars like the rings of a pimp." I carry around the many lessons of life which have been taught to me by the many friends and family members in which I have encountered. I have learned through my own set of goals that I am not restrained by the ignorance of society. I have my own set of beliefs and live every day knowing that what I stand for is what I believe in not what other people have suggested or even tried to enforce. I live day by day knowing that I do not believe in god and people shun me even put me down for that action. My life revolves around music which I listen every hour of the day. Music is what dr ves me to succeed, every quote from each song I listen to has in some way affected even influenced my decisions in life and what is to come. I am pretty much jamming to the beat of life living every day with the knowledge that I'm living it the way I want, that I do not depend on anyone else's happiness to make my own. I hope that one day I learn true happiness but I know that won't be till imp older. In a way I am still naive but imp still young so for now I will use that as my excuse. "The definition of over, doesn't have to be the end"
