Mother and Daughter





I sat on the couch and had mommy sit in between my legs as I did her hair. We sat there laughing talking about different topics and people. I felt so much closer to her, we could discuss different topics and relate with each other on different topics in life. She gave me advice that I will hold dearly to my heart. At that point I was extremely happy she is my mother and I, her daughter.
Moments like this make me enjoy the different stages of life. I remember eleven years ago, I would have been the one sitting between her legs getting my hair done but there would be no real conversation except me saying, "ouch" and her hushing me. As we grew older, that little moment got more intimate and it made me look forward to having a daughter. 
The best part of your child’s life is not when they are cute and adorable and need you for everything. It is when you’ve watched him/her grow up into an admirable young adult, knowing all your sacrifices weren’t in vain and you are now great friends.
I find myself saying I love my mother a lot, it doesn’t matter what wrong she has done to me, all the good greatly outweighs the bad. Today, I look at her in a different light, she’s not just loved because she’s “mommy” but because she is a selfless, loving, amazing and beautiful person right down to her core.

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'...
