6. Where I am From? You speak, I speak. We speak. Different words, different voices. What do you expect? From my mouth, from my soul. Ringing in words and phrases. Do you picture A wind sung whisper Or a rumbling roar What do you expect? From our pasts That I grew up in the city The country side, ocean side. That I dwell in tidal pools with Crab like city dwellers “Youth Speaks” Or was born atop an evergreen, eagles on my wings You speak, I speak. We speak. Different words, different voices. What do you expect? From my actions That I fight for black rights and I’m only half white Confused? Should we be? NO! Do you see valley girl flesh?

8. What success means to me. Success is not only about your stature in society but also I believe it includes personal success. Goals that you’ve set for yourself that don’t always have to do with money or popularity. For example; Setting a goal for yourself that in 2 months you will lose 20 pounds. That means each month you need to lose a total of 10 pounds. At the end of those 2 months you’ve lost 20 pounds then you will have successfully reached your goal.

9. Things that are important to me. Being happy. Maintaining a healthy life style. Making goals for myself. Reaching my goals. Staying in touch with family that lives far away. Keeping a healthy and successful relationship with my boyfriend. Keeping myself busy And Always Having FUN!

10. Where I would like to go and how I am going to get there. After high school I plan on going into nursing school. When achieving my nursing certificate I plan on working in a hospital as a part time nurse while going to school to get my doctorate in Psychology. After about 6 years of school I would someday like to open my own practice.
