An Obsticle That Was No Match For The Wise

Hello,

This past Thanksgiving was the first obstacle with my family and I am happy to confirm that I walked into my aunt's house with unwavering determination and confidence. I was scared for nothing.  It just goes to show that I have built up a very high and respectable self-esteem for myself.

That does not go unnoticed where my loved ones are concerned! With that in mind I have gained maximum respect from my family members. I am also happy that I faced them, because I was worried about  how they would think of me and the mountain of questions they would ask me, because I have been at Eastern for three of four months now. Humans are always very curious when it comes to life changing events!

I can't believe I only have two weeks left of my freshman fall semester! However, in those two weeks there is always room for improvement and other valuable life lessons. It is not going to be fun either, finishing up the last week of classes and than hit the books for finals. College life is not easy folks!

I hope you all had a nice and lovely Thanksgiving! Oh and how about Black Friday? Not that much of a battle this year where I shopped!

Take care,
Lauren

A New Reveal

Hello Friends,

As you all probably know Thanksgiving is just around the corner and if you have been reading my blog, I am super excited about it because I will be seeing my extended family for the first time since I started my first semester of college!

This is the test to see if I have grown at Eastern like I think I have. I hope all you guys have found time to grow spiritually, mentally and physically also. It is a time of reflection and growth and to give yourself time to grow into your confidence if you already haven’t.

I hope this holiday season is a time of thanksgiving and holiday spirit and not just some way of throwing stones at me like my extended family always does because if  they do I think I could catch those stones and throw them right back the way I have been growing and developing at Eastern.

Hopefully everything I experienced in college will pull through for me on this day of Thanksgiving.

Have a wonderful Turkey Day!

-Lauren

P.S. I would greatly appreciate it if you would take the time to answer my pole. It takes the place of a poem or a quote in this post because the pole question is name this poem title! In order to get the full details please see the pole. Thank you!


 

Reflection

Hi All,

I would just like to take the time to reflect on some things. I have worked very hard to prove a lot of people wrong about me and who I am, but I have learned that some people are cruel and want to stick with the things that people falsely accused me of being.
A part of me wants to scream at them for being so unmoving and not optimistic of the true and the false. I want to know why they are the way they are.
Most of all, what happened to them that made them so rude?
I hope one day they will see me for who I truly am and not what someone thought up in their mind.
No poem today. Just a quote:
"The kids that are different and out there and expressive and are bold with those choices, those are the people that grow up to be people we all want to hang out with, that become celebrities or become really successful in what they do because they believe in who they are." -Adam Lambert
 I hope this finds you well and have a wonderful week. Be BOLD.
-Lauren

A Time of Thanksgiving And Strength That Shows No Weakness

Hello,

I have been really reflecting on my family this November. It is the month of Thanksgiving and during this time we should be thanking God for everything we have.
We always look to the good times but even we grow and learn from our bad times and in someone ways I find that, that makes us stronger.
I remember writing a poem about being courageous and bold and in that poem I would say this:
I am courageous and bold
Through the tough times and the worst of times
Haters can hate but,
Through the end of time
No one can bring me down.
I am courageous and bold.
-For those that have a low-self-esteem, I hope this finds you well.
