  • Four lanes

    Four lanes
    Apr 27 2026
    I like planning ahead, no one knows my next move, you can hurt me and still don’t know my moves. I would rather play chess than checkers. If you don’t show your moves, then they exposé themselves and all their tricks. You think you win, but really you lost. Did it hurt yes, but I have nothing to hide. I use to play chess a lot. Man when those tables turn and they thought they played you but they played themselves. You had a chance but you had to be loud. Being loud doesn’t always mean you’re innocent, just means you can’t hide what you did. Each court case takes time, but being smart and not saying anything and being humble, and always three steps ahead, it’s no wonder why everything starts to unfold. I’m not afraid because the truth always wins and when you have a wonderful team, four lanes isn’t about changing paths , it’s about understand you were put on this path to expose the wrong and show what is right. You were given the toughest battles because you could handle it but also prove that a Christian doesn’t need to be loud but to show who they truly are through their actions. Actions always speak louder than words. At the end of the day it’s not about you, it’s about helping others but making light that this can happen to anyone. It is scary, terrifying and can get emotional at times, but going through this you weren’t by yourself. You chose to go through this and to testify, to face the fear to make change for many. Many wouldn’t choose to speak because of how scary it is, but when you know you didn’t do nothing wrong. You know you will prosper and be proven innocent, you just have to patient. The ones who play stupid games will win stupid prizes. God gave you this for a reason, that you never made this about you, it will never be about you. It won’t be first time and it won’t be my last time. No matter what you go through, you got this.

  • Current

    Current
    Apr 27 2026
    I loved competitions especially when it came to writing or math. I got in first place twice and second place once doing multiplication problems but timed. I love doing math in my head but hate writing it out. My grandfather was a math teacher, bus driver and principal. I started learning cursive, math and writing at very young age. I learned English through music and I learned how to walk with a buggy. I couldn’t walk or talk until I was five years old. I was delayed but that didn’t keep me back. I got the love for music and weather from my grandfather. I know how to play the clarinet, guitar, piano and violin but it’s been a while. Ebenezer Middle School got in second place with the band competition. I type fast because each year I took a typing class to become efficient in typing. No matter where the current goes I chose to thrive, try new things and step out of my comfort zone. I loved being in front of crowds. I am not afraid of crowds. I am not afraid to make a change or address what needs to be changed. From Cornelia, Georgia, Rincon, Georgia, Pooler, Georgia to Savannah, Georgia, so many memories happened. What many didn’t know even though my elementary school and middle school years I was in Effingham County. I was in West Chatham Middle School Yearbook in the very back. I did a lot of events with Kelly Tours and somehow my picture at twelve ended up in the yearbook. I wasn’t just associated with Effigham County but also Chatham County as well. Each path has a connection, it will make sense why we run into certain people. Why some leave and why some stay forever. Sometimes many who cross our path is to either to teach us a lesson or to show us what we are missing.

  • Romeo & Juliet

    Romeo & Juliet
    Apr 27 2026
    Growing up, I used to read and still read a lot, but the story that interested me the most was Romeo & Juliet. I always been into literature. I got third place for my poem when I was in third grade at Rincon Elementary School. Writing wasn’t just something I loved, it was therapy for me. Metaphors became something I loved using when writing out my life. The only difference was each story I wrote didn’t have a tragic ending but a happy ending or a positive ending with wisdom. I learned to write in many different languages for many competitions for several colleges. I got in second place for two competitions for Ebenezer Middle School and New Hampstead High School, while still recovering from surgery. Try to memorize a speech that is three pages in French or Spanish for a competition. While representing a country or college. Then give your speech in front of 300 to 1,000 people. I’m not scared of crowds. I represented the Republic Of Congo not Republican Of Congo and that’s where French came in, then I represented all the colleges on the east coast. This was a 4-h competition. That’s where Spanish came in. The 4-h competition is one of the largest on the east coast. The way I memorize the speech’s was recording it on a tape player and listening to it everyday then speaking it, so you didn’t have to look on the paper constantly. The tape player I record all my lessons on as well and that’s how I learned. I could move the recordings to my phone that’s what I would listen to everyday at school, not just music. That’s how I prepared for tests, papers or quizzes.
