Ambition Wale Ft Rick Ross & Meek Mill.
For the past few years I've had visions of my successful future. I know I will become a professional rapper and when i do i will change many lives. In the world we live in today money is everything. How can a broke 18 year old help another broke persons life? It is possible but it's a hard task. Like trying to bribe or lead my brother into taking action on becoming successful so we can have not one but two smart, hard-working men our my family. I've seen no improvement-
It's gotten worst.
I feel if I become successful many others will see that even if your from a "ghetto" neighborhood you are able to win! I have a horrible past that I rarely discuss and try to not look back on. Listening to this song motivates me to continue to be ambitious and to never give up because I know one day I will be at the top helping ones in need. Without the support I'm getting, I would've never been able to be on this path I'm on. Around my wall I have a sign that says, Wish it, dream it, do it. I am still in the wishing stage so waiting to get on the dreaming stage is what I'm doing.
Joshua,
ReplyDeleteYour blog really touched me.
I am so proud of you for enrolling in SRP, and for trying to make a difference with your life.
Remember if you are in school, you can still rap and do outside activities..it is all about that time management...
I read your profile and it sounds like you have struggled already in this life.
But know at City College there are a lot of people to help you succeed.
And I know you will.
I work at City in Student Health and I also teach Health 101.
I hope our paths cross someday.
Meantime, all the best to you,
Dotti Cordell
Thank you. Really appreciate it! I've been working on time management because that's something I'm horrible with. Hope to see you soon!
DeletePatience is something I think we are all working on but the dream does come to fruition and it is usually better than what we imagined. Keep doing what you are doing and wishing, dreaming and doing. Lead by example.
ReplyDeleteYea It's hard to be patient! But I will keep waiting and doing what I have to do. Thank you for the motivational words! I will keep doing what I'm doing.
DeleteJosh, I love what you have done with your blog. This IS a beast blog! haha
ReplyDeleteI can tell you that I come from a similar background and it is possible to spring board out of a negative environment through education. Upward mobility does exist in this county, but you have to pull yourself up inch by inch and that takes endurance and patience.
The work you have done in SRP, and the way you carry yourself in class show me that you have what it takes to really go far in life, and I sincerely hope you do.
It's crazy this is what I've been thinking about a lot lately. Sometimes I doubt it because I don't hear it often or It's just taking too long to develop. I have come a long way but want to go 5 times further. Thank you for your words of wisdom! Made me feel better about the decisions I have been making.
