"Every act you have ever performed since the day you were born was performed because you wanted something‟ [ANDREW CARNEGIE]
Being the second and only girl in the family gave me a sense of privilege. I was a spoiled brat as I grew up but then as I started getting older I became mature and accomplished task in order to get what I want.
When I was younger, I would do devious task. I was called a Habladora- meaning whatever I heard from adult conversations I would repeat them. And when the adults would tell me not to say it I would say it and in return to keep quiet I would get a toy. Much times have changed and I've learned the hard way to keep my mouth shut and be respectful of others.
I know myself if I do something that's because I want something in return. I can be extremely OCD if my dorm room isn't clean. And I pester my roommate to clean her side that way our room looks spotless. I am outspoken, I say what is on my mind in other words blunt. I don't care what people think of my bluntness. If I want something I work hard for it.
My academics are most important to me and I don't care pulling all-nighters just to get the grade I deserve. I don't settle for B+ I want A+ I strive for the best possible. I want to achieve it because I know I can. I like to get good grades because I work hard.
In life you have to act a certain way to make choices. I took a risk into coming to USF and I'm glad I'm here because I'm making a difference. I want to achieve and my long life ambition is to fulfill my dream. And if I have to act heartless, mean, cold, friendly, nice or etc I know I'm up for it because I care and I was born to do this task I want and need.

Imagine
Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one
- John Lennon
Imagine if just for one day the world will turn into peace and harmony. Society today is full of hate, oppression and mistrust. No one feels safe because of the riots and cruelty and the WAR. The war has segregated the world because of one reason- power. Power, dominance and treachery in order to obtain something that is just its just a desire not a need. Why can the world just get along. The reason behind it is because people are afraid of change, they don't adapt to change because is frightens them. What's worse is people not accepting change. Change is good when there are hard times.
Imagine in a world that everyone is equal, no fear, no rejection just harmony and peace. Imagine just being able to express yourself without someone holding you back or sending you to jail. Imagine just accepting others and you accepting yourself. Imagine being different and society praises you. Imagine a world without war and danger just peace and harmony. How about a Utopia? That's the kind of place everyone would want to live in. Being able to breathe without the constant fear.
Come together as one. Join the fight for equality and peace. Let's all live under one sky in harmony. How hard is that? I hope one day you can accept other and learn to live in peace. If we all come to a consensus and value others maybe one day you will join us.

Summer Term is DONE!
This summer has been a world wind. College during the summer is the toughest. I am proud to say that I have achieved good grades for this summer. This summer term I had to take three classes that were longer than two hours. My classes are as follows: Public Speaking, Sexual Health Decision Making and Composition.
My older brother, Nardo, being a sophomore at USF, gave me advice and told me that Composition was going to be a challenge. My first week at college was smooth, I was just frustrated on how much work I was going to be doing. The thing about summer term is condensing 14 weeks into six weeks! Yikes! But I knew I could handle anything if I set my mind to it. I at first wondered why do people drop out of college? Then I realized, the amount of work some people just loose motivation. My motivation is being "professional" and making a living for myself.
The classes that I've taken have all been rigorous in their own way. In Sex class, the Monday quizzes and the long lectures in the morning- which sometimes would lead to me falling asleep. Public Speaking, dealing with the speeches each week and Composition with paper after paper and not one day of no homework. These classes were easy to balance and it taught me how to grow as a person and do the easy homework first and work my way up.
Overall, college has taught me to be more responsible. I've changed an grown by being more straightforward and being myself.I think college teaches everyone to become independent but once in a while its okay to call back parents and ask for money. College isn't hard people can make it hard if they don't manage their time right. I hope to make these next four years the best time of my life and become the woman I was destined to be.
