Personal Legends

Personal Legend 

In my personal legend I am an inspiration to anyone I come in contact with. The type of people that I want to attract to me are people willing to grow, learn and accept others for who they are. I want to attract people like myself who find a little humor in everything but know how to keep everything in moderation. I greatly enjoy being around good friends and family and that is one of the reasons why I want most of them to eventually live with me. Each relationship helps me grow in one way or another or be that service to someone else. I try to keep people around me that I can learn from and teach a little bit of something to in return. The people I have and aspire to keep around me are extremely supportive of me and give me the push I need to better sometimes. 

I would love to one day be able to travel the world and experience some of the different cultures I've read and heard about. Some of the places I wish to visit are Hawaii, Thailand, India, Egypt, Morocco, England and Namibia to name a few. Visiting Namibia is one of my special interests because there is a place where the ocean meets a desert and in a way creates the biggest beach ever! I would enjoy the challenges of growing close with a soul mate and starting a family that carries the same values as us. I want to create meaningful and beautiful things from art work to structures and everything that my mind can possibly imagine. 

If we pull out the money, being around family and friends and living comfortably would make me happy. I wouldn't need money as long as we can all eat, have shelter and gain knowledge without it. It's difficult to focus on what is success outside of finances because of the society we live in today. For me personally, I would define success as being satisfied at the end of the day when all is said and done. The central feeling I associate with finding profound happiness is definitely gratitude. Once we take the focus off the negative and start to acknowledge and welcome the positive, everything changes for the better. 



Epitaph

Here lies a woman who lived for it all 
The blossoms, the storms, summers, and fall 
A translucent mind 
Brave, bold and refined 
She was gifted with many traits--
No one could deny. 
Here you stand and commemorate her life
Do it as often as you breathe-- walk in the light 
For that was a wish of her heart 
To make clear the end and the start 
Of a life beyond this world, that begins in your heart
It forms deep in your soul, 
A story of alchemy told 
Now a life lived in gold
Is a reflection in stone
But what cannot be shown 
Is the path that is flown 
From Earth up to Home. 


Professional Quality


Gratitude

I am grateful for a lot of different things in life and having job is definitely one of them. I've been working since I was 14 and honestly love the feeling of being independent and broadening my horizons. I am thankful for my continuous employment since the day I started working and amazing amount of skills I've gained within 5 years. I can attest my personal motivation to go to school and always strive for a better job that will pour into my career to the inspiration that working gives me. I've worked in backgrounds of social justice, civic engagement and customer service as well.

I hope that I always have a job but more importantly that the jobs I do now will give me more skill towards what I want to do in the future. Many of the skills I've gained while working are helpful to me both inside and outside of the workplace. I have gained financial responsibility since I started making my own money and especially since I've had to start paying my own bills and contributing to my household as well. I've gained accountability for the things that I do and say and are able to take responsibility and own up to something when I know I could've done better. Arguably one of the most valuable things I learned was how to give and receive positive, constructive feedback- being direct and honest but allowing critique to come from a place of love.

 It's been a struggle along the journey but I've also been able to work better with others and be cordial with individuals I would normally not have been able to. I think the most important thing I've gained from my working experience is the growth and transition that it enables me to have within my life. Next steps for me would be to firstly stay employed and secondly create a plan for how I'm going to reach my career. I enjoy helping and servicing others but I want to do something that will also be sufficient to enable me to create the kind of life I want to live.



Hip Hop Resume

You want to know my skills?
Then just sit back and chill
Cause the rhyme I'm gonna spit is about to get too real.

I'm young I'm fun I'm passionate
A great employee too, I will admit
Diligent in my practices
Like a new found hobby for a kid

Goal oriented and motivated
I can't be stopped so don't contemplate it
Hire me if you want to see
Just how efficient I can be

Drawn to things that contest my knowledge
Transitioning skills from high school to college
Don't think I'm here just for the dollar
Cause I'll walk away from a corrupt blue collar

Read over my hip hop resume
And tell me would you say
That I could be ready for the position today.
