My Personal Goal Statement

This is the Essay I wrote for Argosy for getting into my Master's Program I will be starting in January. Even at a young age when I was in grade school I knew that I wanted and was going to accomplish a lot of great things. When I was a child I was actually in special education until I was in the 4th grade due to having a motor skill problem I was born with and a speech problem. My motor skill problem prevented me from holding a pencil correctly and would at times cause hand pains as it does still to this day if I have to write too much by hand therefore as I am writing this I type everything. With that and the speech problem which people never seem to notice most of the time I worked very hard to get out of special education in grade school. This is just one of many examples I have of where I have worked toward a goal that most would thought impossible. I came from a single parent household with a father that decided he didn’t want anything to do in my life but I worked throu

Stars Aligned

Other Side Of The Fence

Sometimes we all need to look on the other side, Sometimes we all need to see other points of view, Even when we don’t agree, Even when we want to argue, Even when things don’t seem to make sense, In our eyes, As part of our lives, There are moments we have to be bigger, Than what we really are, To push aside the differences, And to walk along another side, We might not always understand, We might not always see, But sometimes we got to take that moment, But sometimes we got to take that chance, And look at the other side of the fence, Look to see that although you might not agree, And although there are times to disagree, That we all are human beings, We all have emotions, We all have feelings, We all have times of loss, We all have times of hardships, We all have times of gain, We all have times of joy, There are those that are truly corrupt, And truly evil, But we have to remember that not all things, We might believe in is so easy, As black and white, There are so many shades of gr

Changes In Life

Our Future

I might not always know what tomorrow will bring, I might not always know what will happen, I might not always know how certain things will happen, Or how things will always work out, But I do know this, I know that I love you, I know that God brought us together, That we are meant to be together, And that although the way might not always seem clear, That sometimes the way seems hard, That there is hardship, That everything in the world around us, Seem to fall apart in one way or another, We will stay strong, We will find a way, Because we have Him in our lives, So although there is no promise, There is no guarantee, I do know this, I know we love each other, I know that you mean the world to me, I know that you care about me, And I know that we will get through it, As long as we love each other, Take each day as it comes, Look out for each other, Keep praying, Keep believing, Keep on knowing, Keep on looking toward Him, Looking toward His words, Looking toward His wisdom, We will get

What I Love About Us

What I love about us, What I enjoy so much, Is the ease we have with each other, The way I feel whenever I am with you, The wonder, The beauty, The love, The peace, The calm, The joy, The way we just seem to fit together, We have our differences, We have our similarities, We find ways that complement each other, And that is what I love about us, I love everything there is about us, The way I feel comfortable with you, The way I don’t feel I have to try to be, This way, Or that way, What I love about us, What brings true joy to my heart, Is how much I know you care, Even without always the words, Without always the gestures, The simple of it all, Just the look into your eyes, Just the way I know you care, The way I know you love me, The way you and I just belong, The way I feel that when it is just us, When it is you and me just spending time alone, How I feel the whole world fades, And all there is, Is you and I, What I love about us, What matters more to me, Are these emotions, The li

My Favorite Birthday

Sitting there at the table surrounded by friends, My mom, The guy I truly found love through, Thinking of how many birthdays, So many moments, Both good and bad, Some birthdays better than others, Some filled with hurt, Some filled with some sort of love, Some filled with more presents, Some filled with less, But in the end, The best birthday, The one I remember, The one I think about often, Is the one where I sat at that table, Looking at everyone around, Feeling truly blessed, Feeling truly loved, Feeling truly adored, Feeling like there wasn’t much, That could ever be better, Than those moments, That I sat there, Was able to look into all those eyes, Including yours, Having a whole weekend, Of excitement, Happiness, Wonder, Joy, Love, Because of you, Because of you being in my life, Because of this love, That moment, The moments that follow, There isn’t much now, That could top that first birthday, With you by my side.

Finding Faith Through Hardship

I’ve been through many rough patches, Seen some difficult times, But now even I, Who has seem to have found a way, Is finding myself at a first for me, But even through this, Even through this moment, This pain, This unknowing, I have faith, I have belief, I have something I didn’t have before, I had gone through so many trials, So many things out there, So many problems alone without Him, I wasn’t always a believer, I didn’t always have that life, But now I do, And I believe that can make a difference, If I keep putting my trust in Him, If I keep remembering His promise, Then things will work out in some way, He will be there to guide, Will be there to provide, Never before in my life, Never before until I became saved, Did I find that peace, Find that hope, Find that belief in prayer, In knowing that I am His, So although I find myself, In a place I don’t quite know fully, I have to keep remembering, To not listen to the other voices, To remember that this too shall pass, But it is s

Our True Aspirations

When we go through our lives, As we grow older, Sometimes wiser, Sometimes not, We all still aspire, We all still aspire to be this or that, Maybe a famous athlete, Maybe a famous singer, Maybe a famous actor, A writer, Who knows, There are always these possibilities, Always these things that run through our minds, Through our heads, But we don’t always remember, We don’t always seem to see, What can lie beyond those things, We forget to pause, We forget to take the time, To take the time to see, Beyond our lives at this space, Beyond our lives at this moment, Beyond our lives here, We forget to look beyond, We forget to see deeper than ourselves, We forget, But it doesn’t always have to be that way, We can always still aspire, But we also have a higher calling, We have a higher meaning, We have a higher goal to accomplish, We have a higher calling to see, We must remember, That although we might aspire many things, There is a true aspiration that we are called to, There is a true dest

I Miss Your Smile

I miss your smile, Almost more than anything else, Even more than a kiss, Even more than a hug, Even more than an embrace, Even more than anything else, When you are not around me, When you are not by my side, Even when I am talking to you online, It doesn’t compare, It doesn’t even touch, How I feel whenever I am there, I miss your smile, Because it lights me up, Brings forth joy, Brings forth happiness, Washes away any sorrow, Washes away any pain, I miss your smile, Although talking to you through the week, Helps lessen the hard part of not seeing you every day, I cannot help but miss your smile, Miss the way your eyes light up, The way the joy just spreads, Whenever I see you, Whenever I am near you, No matter where I am, No matter what I am doing, I just think about that smile, Think about the way, The way you make me feel, Every moment, Of every day, But when I am not with you, I miss your smile, I miss being with you, I miss everything about you, I love you with every beat, Ever

My Troy

When I think about you, Just in those random beautiful moments, When everything else in the world, When every moment seems to be filled, With this and that, The ongoing never ceasing, Never ending business that we call life, These are all part of the moments, The moments I feel the need even more, Just that moment, That being, That love, Is everything that is so simple, Yet so wonderful, Yet so everything, So everything I could ever need, Life is so rough all around us, People are losing many things, Jobs, Money, Homes, People, Things, Some even their faith, There is pain, There are tears all around, But when I am with you, When I am with you those moments, Everything else fades away, Everything else feels less crazy, Everything else, The whole world fades, And I focus, And I look into those eyes, And I feel home, Feel home just being with you, Being by your side, Loving you, Wanting you, Needing you, Being with you always.

Upset Souls

People hurt each other unnecessary, There are bullies all around, There is so much pain we give to each other, Without needing to, People who go thinking they are not loved, People who go thinking that they don’t matter, People who believe they are not good enough, Or could ever be good enough, People who feel the hurt so deep in their hearts, And in their souls, That there is no answer, That all there is nothing around them, They hurt and hurt, They cut, They bleed, They sometimes even give up their life, When will we all stop and realize, When will we all stop and see? When will we look deeper? Then what is on the surface? When will we take that chance? Take that chance to see something deeper, Then what is outside, After all beauty is really more than skin deep, Looking around, Seeing these things, Upsets the heart of me, Because I feel the compassion, I understand the pain, I know what it is like to be judged, For things only from the outside, And not given a chance to see, What mi

Those Regrets

I’ve stumbled, I’ve fell, I’ve had to find a way to pick myself up, From the many regrets through my life, I have had to deal with hard choices, Choices now in retrospect, Didn’t always seem the best, Trying to find the peace and serenity, Praying to God every day, Time heals slowly, Now that I have God, Now that I have become His, I have given it all to Him, But there is still a moment, There are times I find those tears, The tears long since gone, Long since hidden away, Retrospect isn’t always a friend, But knowing it has to be done, In order to truly heal, In order to get over the regret, I have to look into my heart, I have to look into my soul, I have to take an honest look at myself, Take an honest look of the good, Take an honest look of the bad, Take an honest look of the hurt caused, The hurt caused by others, The hurt I’ve caused others, But there are still days, That I stumble, That I fall, That it still hurts, Hurts in ways that is hard, Hurts in ways that can make me cry,

Day 29 Your Aspirations

Finally able to do this after getting sick and working for a little bit. Something I aspire to is to not only to keep on writing but to push myself to write things that I might have not thought of writing before. To get back into writing short stories and novels as well as try my hand more with songs and one act plays. I feel I also found a calling in working more on blog related posts and just finding the inspiration to find my muse among that calling. Writing is something I want to use to touch people’s hearts, souls, minds, and anything else I can get I feel that God has given me quite the gift in this and I hope to use it well. I aspire to be a great friend, best friend, girlfriend, and all those little titles we assign ourselves through things in our lives. I try to always have an open door to my friends being there for them and supporting them through the good times and bad times. To be someone to be counted on and inspire in whatever way I can. I aspire to be a good exampl
