The Persuit of Excellence

What I have realized is that when you chose not to push yourself to achieve something it's not that you're lazy but because you don't believe in yourself. You don't think you're capable, so why work hard if it won't pay off anyways. It's thoughts like these that make us to settle for mediocre/ less. We are cutting ourselves short of true potential.

I really started thinking about this last night when I acknowledged that I am not studying and finals are so close. There is absolutely no way I can get a GPA over 3.5 if I continue like this. Then I came to the conclusion that I don't want to be like the majority of university students who settle for a B or C average I want more than that I want an A. There's a saying aim for the stars and if you fall you'll reach the moon but I don't plan on falling I want to be among the stars. If that means going the extra mile, studying until I fall asleep, skipping some of my favourite pass time activities, I will not allow that stop me from reaching my maximum potential because at the end of it all I will be so happy and satisfied.

You can be the greatest at whatever you do. You don't have to be average. Whatever you do, do it to the best of your ability, anything worth doing is worth doing well.

My Work and Travel Experience

The summer of 2017, I participated in the Summer Work and Travel Program. This program allowed me to work and live in the United States of America for a little over 3 months on a J1 Visa. The main aim of the program is to learn more about American culture by having first-hand experience through living amongst their people. However, this program turned out to be way better than what I had expected. I learned so much and had a wonderful experience that I intend to go back next summer. The company I worked with hired 9 students, four of us were from Jamaica, two from the Philippines, one from Kazakhstan and two from Ukraine. This program is described as a cultural exchange, between American culture and your own culture. But through this program I was learning about more than just the American culture. I shared a home with two Filipino girls, so their culture was one that I came in direct contact with. I loved learning new things from them and they were such amazing person...

How To Lose Weight Fast (Without Exercise)

Mid-October I decided that I wanted to lose some weight because since I've been on the work and travel program I gained twenty pounds. I believe eating McDonald's and pizza every opportunity I got was what led to my weight gain. Honestly, the weight didn't matter much to me until almost everyone I knew told me I had gotten fat. Since I was in highschool my problem area was my stomach, my dream was to have a flat stomach, that was all. I would do ab workouts as often as I could but nothing would change. I did the same thing in university; I went on YouTube and found ab workouts and I would do them daily, yet still my pouch was not going anywhere. Around my second year in university I found out after doing some research that for me to lose my belly weight I could not only do ab workouts but a full body workout. So I started jogging, and again I was not seeing any results. So let'...
