What I know is, is that if you do work that you love, and the work fulfills you, the rest will come.
-Oprah Winfrey


I am from never give up and
Lift your head and conquer all you want
I am from discussions and arguments every day
And “I wash the dishes and made my bed”
I am from failing first grade but
Learn from my mistakes being better each day

I am from eating jalapenos with all my food
You know it; if it's not spicy, it's not good
I am from drawing and loving art
And value my family and love with my heart
I am from eating Takis makes it fun
“When you have a problem, solve it, don't run”

I am from constantly making mistakes
A father telling me “Perseverance is all it takes”
I am from a mom that is always there for me
Encouraging that I can be all I want to be
I am from always doing my best
Something I learn in life is
I was born for success

I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
- Maya Angelou
When i was little/I used to point a chubby finger toward the dark sky/And ask my father/why some stars moved and others didn’t/He would laugh and explain that some were airplanes/I still wish on them today ~ Laugh-It-Out
The feathers of a crow are black/The ink of my pen is blacker/The pain of my heart is blackest~ Mckay
If love produced a blossom/I’d take it in my palm/What a blessing, the bright color!/How soothing, such a balm!/I’d keep a petal for my own/The rest, drop from my hands/For such a flower would multiply/And populate the lands~ thesilentraven
And I began to rival legends/Long entombed before my birth./But for all my much envied fame/The lust for more would not abate./The plaques and prizes with my name/Will, like all things, disintegrate. ~ TheEpic95 now known as Helena_Noel
