I swear my bio class
has me going through emotions. One day I feel like a complete failure. The next day I feel like a BOSS for retaining information. I’m still very excited about learning and going back to school, but there are a few things I need to evaluate about myself. I have to go BEYOND good intentions. It’s not enough to want to do well in school. It’s the effort you take. The private hours you put in to educating yourself. This weekend was a huge wake up call. God knew I had nothing to worry about, but I had to see how important school was to me. I was so afraid of failing not because of anyone, but because I wanted to do well. I used to think that school wasn’t important to me, but when I realized where my passion was I knew the only way to honor it was to educate myself. I still don’t believe college is for everyone, but I do believe education is. Education comes in many forms. I taught myself how to braid through YouTube. I read more books than I did while in school. Going to an actual institution of learning is subjective. I suggest you know your why before you go to school. It took me almost 4 years to figure out what I wanted to do while away from school. I had a niche for helping people and beautifying not only the outside, but the inside of people. I truly believe God made me become a hairstylist to meet the different types of women I will soon encounter during my learning process as a counselor. I’m grateful for all that has happened to lead to this moment . I’m finally able to accept that I will be the first person I work on. God will make me endure things so I can teach others how to bypass certain habits, muck ups, and bad decisions. I’m grateful. This weekend was a tough one due to the blur, but as quickly as it came this too also passed. I still have so much to learn, but i’m open to developing myself so I can be strong for others who have yet found their inner strength. I know I am supported and loved and I am completely grateful for that. Take each day at a time. Judge yourself and others less each day. Love you guys. It’s SKNDEEP and I’m out.
