Get out your Bed --> Get out your Head

 

Good morning! Welcome! 

I am starting this blog to keep track of myself and my growth and learned that my sharing on my private social media has helped a lot of people going through various things. I have experiences that make you question "Is this real life" I am also an aspiring Attorney so this will also help my writing skills since I am a Southern Belle from the south. 

I want this to be a free space. 

Meaning I am able to speak freely regarding health, education, and religion. 

I have numerous health obstacles (scoliosis, eczema, ADHD, and an abundance of allergies) that ignited my passion for health care and inspired me to graduate with a Bachelor of Arts in Public Health. 

I also have been an active member in my community ever since 5th grade by joining the Recycling Club + Columbia Urban League, winning a National Case Competition for reusing Plastic bags and turning them into blankets for homeless veterans within the City of Columbia --> to my law experiences. 

I was honored to work with a Family law attorney in order to be exposed to a new world that I did not know was a step on the path to me walking within my purpose. 

I can say I am now 24 years old (yes I am a 2000 baby 🌚) and I have been working in law for 6 years, help on two campaigns, and I am currently an A student in law school (we've only had midterms). 

I was diagnosed with ADHD/ADD as an adult studying for the LSAT I already had accommodations starting in undergrad for test anxiety and was still able to be a deans list student. However, when it came to the LSAT process I kept noticing how hard I was studying yet little to no improvement. This when I typically would say ... the math was not mathing 😂 

I often got bullied as a kid and always felt like an outcast and as an only child my mother was not aware that something was wrong until recently as well. I will say she had me later when she was more settled with her life so she also thought it was a generational thing. As, an adult I completely understand she did her best based on the circumstances and if you ask me she did more than her best! I love my mother and owe everything I have to her dedication and hard work. I often say her generation got it out the mud and our generation has to stand on business! (they did the work we have to keep it enforced) She raised me in the church by elementary school I had been baptized and gave my life to the lord because I knew based on my Grandmother and Mother that I would be nothing without a life centered around Christ. I realize now that often turned to the lord anyway because I was misunderstood at school and at home. The most consistent friends I have had were my friends from Bible Way Church off, Atlas Road in Columbia SC. Our pastor is a governor again... I have been walking in my purpose without realizing it this whole time! 

I am far from perfect I am actually the friend who always had something going on regardless if I was the cause or not. I recently told a law school cohort many people don't understand the part --> piece --> of puzzle that was the plot of one scene --> in an episode of a show --> based off a movie --> that was first a book EVERYTHING IS THAT DEEP! So I don't understand how people say it's not? Your understanding might be limited based on the facts provided but you honestly never know what people are going through. Just like how I don't understand people when they say business isn't personal ... but I am personally doing the business so how is it not? YOU FEEL ME?! Maybe not, if not you shouldn't even continue reading. 

Because in a world where I feel misunderstood like my voice is not heard, and like nobody understands, I hope to create a way for me to grow as a writer, a young woman, and a future lawyer leader. I also intend for this to be a more creative way to update not only my friends but also my family at one time and provide resources that I find during this first year as a law student because this is not easy. The Lord did not want use to hide our testimonies he wanted us to share them with people so they know, they are not alone. So no I don't care that I just told my life story to a stranger I might not meet especially because I know how a story that could take 5 minutes to an hour to tell could impact someone for a lifetime.
