The Necessities of Life

The most wonderful thing about life is that we have to power to be different kinds of beautiful. No human being is the exact same to anyone else. We are all different and beautiful in our own ways. Beautiful does not always mean exterior, but rather the interior. The way we share our humility and kindness to others is to define what it truly means to be beautiful. A beautiful soul is one that will simply change the world. Maybe not entirely, but within the small world they are living in.

You have the comfort and support of all the single, independent ladies to rely on for that matter. Stop wishing that you are chained up in love, but celebrate the freedom to roam alone, independently, and chai...

Community college is one of the most emotional roller coasters I have experienced within my life. There have been moments of true wonder and awe where I loved every moment of it, but there were also days I did not feel great about it, and I wanted to quit. My senior year of high school was when I had decided that I wanted to be a middle school English teacher, and I was going to attend Ashland University the following year. After working on my career research paper and discovering the truth about college expenses and my future, I discovered that it was not meant to be. I had too much going on the rest of the year that I found myself lost and confused. It was not until the last few months before graduation that I decided to attend LCCC, but I had not yet decided on what I wanted to study. When I applied, I dedicated my major to Middle Childhood Education, but that was not my true calling to life. After graduation, I went and took assessments, talked to career counselors, and even di...
